Le Velo Vintage Bikes

Le Velo is a cycling workshop in Hamburg, Germany, that specializes in building custom vintage bicycles. The owner Senad Sarac is fascinated by craft and good quality and has been collecting antique bicycle parts for years. Every detail is discussed, planned and implemented in accordance with the customer, and the bike is built with restored old parts but also with specially made parts. The workshop combines the tradition of classic bicycle craft, learned over many generations, with the modern crafts of our time, and still uses original tools from two centuries ago. The end results are true works of art.
