We have built this chic Ullmann Magistrale on demand for a customer in Middle Finland.
The cyclist was looking for a comfortable ride which should be "stylish and maybe little bit retro looking" too.
The new bicycle had to be a "low maintenance bike" and the Rohloff Speedhub is a must have.
Since the customer makes regular bike tours during the Finnish summer time and loads the bike with some luggage, the bike and the wheels need to be durable and reliable at the same time. A light rolling hub dynamo was requested to attach the Ullmann Power-Station so he can charge a mobile device during the bike tours and supply a dynamo powered headlight as well. The mounted hydraulic Hopetech disc brakes are reliable and their brake pads are very durable. A solid rear rack is mounted to carry Ortlieb bags. Brooks saddle makes the cyclist feel good and the Humpert butterfly handlebar with SuperSuede handlebar tape supports the rider during his tours by providing comfortable cycling positions.
