Ladies Esprit Superlite Bike
Vintage Commuter
For every Reid purchased around the world, we will plant a tree in their honour. We have responsibility as a good-manufacturing business to offset the carbon that we are using to make our already sustainable products and what better way to do this than planting a tree.
Description
The perfect vintage commuter bike for those looking for a lighter ride. Featuring the same iconic retro design of our Ladies Esprit, just a little lighter for even quicker and nimble riding. The days of carrying heavy bikes up stairs are no more.
That stylish, retro feel without the retro weight. Minimalist construction and sleek design focusing on weight saving make for a quick and nimble bike.
Most vintage bikes are made from steel which is great as it’s reliable and strong, however, it is heavier. The Reid Esprit Superlite has replaced all steel parts with lightweight alloy to reduce the weight significantly, so you can ride with less effort and it makes it easier to lift up stairs or into your car when needed.
You’ll have confident control over this stunning retro cruiser thanks to carefully balanced geometry. The Ladies Esprit Superlite is for the vintage lover who aspires to retro style but wants a bike with exceptional lightweight performance.
Add an optional front basket to complete the look and have all the storage you’ll need for a day out to the shops or a picnic in the park.
