THE ASCARI CITY
The Ascari City is the pinnacle of vintage styling and practicality. The City's "step-through" frame gives you elegant styling and the benefits of a bike that is easy to mount or dismount. The City comes equipt with 3 speeds, drum brakes, painted to match racks and fenders, and dynamo powered head and tail lamp.
Hand brazed construction using high quality cro-moly tubing. Frame, fork, and stem handmade by us in the USA. Details and logos in copper and brass are brazed onto the frames, forks, and stems. Air pump and Brake Levers are also entirely hand build by us, from a combination of materials as brass, copper, exotic woods and leather.
