Saddle
All 7-speed tourers have wide and comfortable gel saddles with a cushioning that offers maximum comfort even in an upright position. The seat post has a quick release skewers in order to adjust the saddle size without tools. In case you swear by your own saddle, there is no problem at all to mount it to the Velociped tourer.  

Frame
The robust modern aluminium frame with moulded lower tube guarantees quiet running even in case of high "payload". Same applies to the steel forks. All frames are coated with a long-living and non-polluting powder lacquer showing the typical Velociped green. There are, of course, different types of frame available depending on the size of ladies and gentlemen, as the bike must fit the "rider". And: all ladies' bikes have a low opening that makes mounting and dismounting much easier.

The right size
ladies: ................................................ size 48
gentlemen below 172 cm: .................. size 52
gentlemen from 173 to 183 cm: ......... size 56
gentlemen exceeding 183 cm: ........... size 60

7-speed gear shift
Fully encapsulated Shimano hub shifter with integrated back pedalling brake. Gears are changed by means of a snapping rotary handle that is very easy to operate. The needed speed can also be chosen in a standing position. The speed gradings are optimized for flat stages and moderate hilly terrains. In addition, the chain is encapsulated in a chain locker – skirts and trousers stay clean.

Brakes
Fast drivers should brake well: the brakes are 'borrowed' from the mountainbike. All bikes are equipped with most modern rim brakes (V-brakes), in the front and at the back, offering fair braking power. For a better dosification, braking-power modulators have been installed. With the back pedal as a third brake, you will always have the right brake under your control. 

Wheels
Smooth-running 28 inch wheels with sealed hubs, stable spokes and robust aluminium hollow chamber rims. We only use the extra breakdown-safe wheels 'Marathon' by Schwalbe, 622 x 40, that run smoothly on the road allowing at the same time excursions to open terrains. "Flats" have become a rarity.

Handlebar
Our comfortable handlebar offers exactly the right bend lying perfectly in your hand. Together with the front part that can be adjusted in height and inclination using only one key, any biking position can be chosed. Sitting sportively stretched or comfortably upright - just as you like. Well pedded bars are a matter of course. All changing and braking bars are ergonomically ready to hand.

Pedals
Aluminium pedals with a large rubber surface offer a wide and safe support for normal shoes.

Other
Lights, mudguards, reflectors, carriers, lateral kickstands, lock

The smooth-running dynamo (side runner) generates current for the modern halogen lamp which illuminates the route perfectly. Behind, a backlight keeps watch with a big reflector. Of course, our tourers are equipped with all kind of prescribed reflectors in the spokes (alternatively, a reflex bar on the wheel) and on the pedals. And a bell, anyway, as it is already required by the road traffic regulations. The stable carrier made of steel wire admits uncomplainingly the panniers. A spring mounted flap retains small pieces of luggage. Mudguards keep face and back clean, a lateral kickstand makes parking considerably easier, and a frame ring-lock protects against sudden desire of third parties.
