History

The founders formed the prototype for Abici bicycles in Lombardy using the 1950s catalog of an Italian craftsman. Their goal was a classic bicycle with high-tech details and a vintage aesthetic.[1]

The name Abici derives from "bici", the Italian slang for "bicicletta". The name also refers to the first three letters of the Italian alphabet: A-B-C.

Design

Abici bikes are made in eight colors based on car colors of the 1950s, has a Brooks England saddle with copper rivets, metal mudguards and a chrome brake rod. The light-weight bikes are made from aluminum, carbon fiber and titanium.[2]

The company produces classic style bikes, including touring bikes for men and women, as well as racing and mountain bikes. Each bicycle is handmade and tested in Italy. They come in five models: Granturismo, Camporella, Sveltina, Amante and Fuga.[3]

Collaborations

In 2009, Abici and Italian fashion house Fendi created the Fendi Abici Amante Donna Bicycle, featuring Fendi’s Selleria leather accessories and fur saddlebags.[4]

gollark: Yes, the """orc""" thing.
gollark: This is ridiculous and stupid, how does it detect cycles?
gollark: I mean, it compiles in reasonable time, the metaprogramming support is quite good, syntax is pleasant, libraries work...
