What are the resale values of these bikes and what would be the likely historical value of some of the older bikes after restoration? http://www.investmentinformation.freedvd.com.au I am always looking for unusal investmetent opportunities.

The 7 speed Natur retails for $1990 and all colours are in stock and have been available since early December. Who would buy something if you had to wait 3 months? Hello Everyone

Just letting you know that Great Dane in Prahran (along with Great Dane in Sydney and Brisbane) do indeed sell Skeppshult bicycles and there is a slight exaggeration in their price and availablilty.

And isn't it nice to have dealers that are actually keen to sell you something? :-D Have fun riding!

Was super interested when i found this blog as i'm a swede in melbourne, and was looking for one of the 'traditional step-through' bikes like i have at home in stockholm. I checked out both the skeppshult & kronan bikes and i have to be honest. I really liked the skeppshult but for it's $3000 price tag, i just don't the point. The kronan bikes are around $900/$1000 and are of similar quality and have WAY more colours. Also when i asked both suppliers when i could get a bike skeppshult said up to 3 months, while kronan said i could have got it that day. So i hoped i've helped anyone out that was looking for a similar bike, as i was :) Hey everyone!

I've added them to the article. I love the headbadge for the Skeppshult! I've got a little Swedish folder made by Crescent from the 60s which is really cute, too. But damn it's heavy! :-) Cool, thanks for the info, M! I’ve added them to the article. I love the headbadge for the Skeppshult!

For those old fashioned bikes there are a couple of Swedish brands, both sold in Melbourne: Kronans and Skeppshults. Kronan bikes have a store a few steps from Greville Street in Prahran and Skeppshults doesn't have a store of its own but check the website cos they are sold in a few stores around melbourne. I saw one today at Great Dane Furniture, Commercial road Prahran, though mainly as a special feature in the window. Great Dane doesn't sell the bikes per se.... But they are VERY good quality so you gotta see them. http://www.kronan.com/Australia or www.kronancycles.com.au Shop 4, 155 Greville St. Prahran, Victoria 3181 Australia Tel: +61 415304117 For Skeppshults bikes, go to http://www.cykla.com.au/ for more info. G’day!

Familiarising ourselves with utility-style bicycles and their associated technologies and the practices and policies that have enabled the uptake of utility cycling in European Cycletopias is a first step in enabling us to make the change away from our dependence on car(bon burner)s.

It's nice to know there's more people with the same predilections towards certain types of beauty. Had look at your site, you have some beautiful things in your shop - love the saddle on that swiss army bike! :-) Thanks for your comment, ek.

As a male with decent vision, it's not difficult to understand the inherent beauty of a woman on a simple bicycle.
