Vittoria - Bicycle - 1910

Vintage Ladies’ Bicycle – Early 1900s / 1930s

Original specimen – Conserved – Authentic industrial charm

Not just a bicycle.
An object that survived time.

This ladies’ bicycle is an authentic witness to Europe’s first urban mobility. Clean lines, elegant step-through frame, robust materials built to last decades.

The original black paint, now covered by a natural patina, tells a real life: dirt roads, daily use, mechanical quiet. Each mark is a historical trace, not a defect.

It’s the kind of object that isn’t refinished, because it would lose its soul.

Details that make the difference
• Classic-era women’s step-through frame
• Riveted/welded steel structure according to historic techniques
• Original rod brakes
• Original metal fenders
• Bell carrier and era-appropriate mechanical components
• Original spring saddle (visible wear, consistent with age)
• Large touring wheels
• No invasive modern restoration

This bike has not been modernized: it has remained faithful to its era.
