Classic bikes

The best Classic Bicycles are available at Biciclasica.com. If you want a vintage bike for men or women, you must take into account aspects such as the Bicycle Size, the geometry, which defines the bike's riding posture, the quality of the components, which is important to guarantee its durability, and other aspects like the gears, necessary for climbing hills with ease. Other important aspects are the total weight and the included accessories.

To buy a bicycle online, we must also take into account other aspects, such as the packaging format, the necessary tools, and how the bicycle is shipped—that is, which components come disassembled and which do not, whether assembly is difficult or if we need to have it assembled in a bicycle shop. For this, having a bicycle assembly video is very useful. In our online store, you can find the best offers on vintage-style Classic Bicycles, Cheap cruiser bikes ideal for women.

Bicycle sizes

A bicycle's size is indicated by both the frame and the wheel diameter. It is also important to consider the adjustment range the seat allows for raising and lowering; generally, the recommended heights for each bicycle model are published on the product page.

Cruiser bike wheels usually come in 2 sizes: 26” and 28”. We recommend bicycles with 26-inch wheels for people under 1.65 meters tall, but as we have indicated, it is important to pay attention to the frame size.

Cruiser bike frames are measured from the center of the bottom bracket axle (the pedal axle) to the seat clamp (where the seat post or tube is fixed). This measurement can give us an idea of the frame size, but it is also important to take its geometry into account as well.

The bicycle frame is the steel structure that supports the rest of the components, and its geometry indicates the riding style. It may have the shape of a traditional Dutch bicycle, large and with a slight backward tilt that will allow us to ride in an upright position, or a smaller, more manageable classic Italian bicycle geometry for a very comfortable ride without having to sit so upright.

Bicycle components

To choose a good cruiser bike, it is very important to consider all the components, as cheap bicycles are usually assembled with very basic parts that, for more intensive use, can cause problems. Let's look at some of the most relevant components for the long-term good functioning of the bicycle:

The frame: there are cruiser bikes with a steel frame or an aluminum frame. A steel frame is the best long-term choice for an urban cruiser bike; steel is flexible, can be repaired, and stands the test of time very well. Classic aluminum bicycles are lighter but have a shorter service life and less flexibility, making them suitable for mountain bikes but less so for cruiser bikes.

The wheels consist of the rims—in this case, aluminum is better. They can be single-wall or double-wall, which handle impact better and stay true more easily. There are also steel rims, which are shinier, more durable, and robust, but too heavy. Other aspects are the spokes; stainless steel spokes are highly recommended as they prevent rust, which is very common. Another important thing is the wheel hubs or axles, which can be steel or aluminum, and sealed is better for the latter.

Gears or 1 speed?

If you are going to buy a cruiser bike and your city has no hills, the simpler the bicycle, the better. But if you are going to buy an urban bicycle for more intensive use and you live in a city like Madrid, you will need a bicycle with gears that allows you to use a smoother speed to tackle hills with comfort.

Dutch bicycles are usually equipped with a single speed, but it is also very common to see retro bicycles in Northern Europe with gears incorporated into the hub (such as the Shimano Nexus3 derailleur). Gears on the rear wheel axle are more expensive, but they have 3 fundamental advantages: they do not require any maintenance, you can change gears while stopped, and they are much more resistant to impact.

The usual gears on classic bicycles are external, with 6 or 7 speeds on the rear sprocket derailleur and a single chainring; for urban use, it is not necessary to have more speeds.

Equipment

Another aspect to consider when buying a classic cruiser bike is the included accessories, such as the kickstand, chain guard, carrier or basket rack, lights, etc. If you are looking for a classic-style cruiser bike, an important detail is the traditional-style spring saddle or the leather grips or handlebars.
