Itera - Bicycle - 1982

The Itera undoubtedly ranks among the boldest bicycle designs of the eighties.

Where virtually all bicycles at the time were made of steel, the Swedish manufacturer Itera chose a revolutionary approach: a frame and wheels largely made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic.
The result was a futuristic design that was ahead of its time.

Although production lasted only a few years, the Itera grew into a design icon.
Today the bike is featured in various design and museum collections and is appreciated by collectors of industrial design, Scandinavian design, and unusual bikes.

This specimen is finished in the characteristic light blue color and features the original plastic spoke wheels, integrated luggage rack, and the distinctive geometric frame construction. The bike looks strikingly modern, even forty years after its introduction.

The bike is in nice vintage condition with normal signs of use appropriate for its age. The original design and its complete character make this a special collectible that excels as both a functional bicycle and a decorative design object.

A rare chance to acquire an iconic piece of Scandinavian industrial design from the early eighties.
