April’s Bertoni flat-bar road bike. For her new bike April wanted something unique, comfortable, fun to ride but still quick & nimble enough to get around town in style. This little beauty is finished product. 90s Bertoni Italian road frame constructed from Colubus Matrix tubing and finished in a truly eye-catching almost magenta red hue. Built up with Shimano 600 8 speed group, but with riser bars and thumb shifters for ease of use in the city and a more upright riding position. A classy yet practical ride that should be easy to match her lipstick to, just in time for summer.
