Buongiorno Everybody! Or better saying Good Morning everybody!
How is everybody feeling with this cold weather around Australia and New Zealand? Did I say cold? Well it is cold in Melbourne, it was so so in Sydney, what about Auckland, Perth and Adelaide? Well, at least Darwin, Brisbane and Cairns are enjoying some amazing weather, perfect for riding with family and friends. However, just in case you were too cold to speak and perhaps a bit hungry we aim to send a smile sharing today's breakfast with you!
We were in Italy for a month in mid June. Straight after we got back we attended Pushies Galore in Brisbane, a very interesting event organized by some serious bike lovers in Holland Park. This year event was truly awesome like the previous year and it is a great way to swap/trade for many bike lovers, as well as for people to find out more about some Vintage/Classic brands like Lombardo Italian Bicycles.
The Lombardo Corsa series is based around 7 models for road and about 8 for MTB.They were all released at Eurobike 2012 in Germany and you can see some sneaky peak photos here.
During our time in Italy, we visited the Lombardo Bikes factory and had a look at how frames are made and at the prototype for the bicycle models available from FEB 2013. A lot under Lombardo's belt, in particular with the new racing lines called Lombardo CORSA (Road + MTB), as well as with the new Lombardo ELETTRICA Electric bikes. The latter will be unique for being the only ones Made in Europe (Made in Italy) and licensed to instal BOSCH electric engines on it. Certainly another proof of German known reliability seeking the Italian high-quality for a win-win synergy in entering new markets.

However the range of bicycles we are more interest into discussing are the Lombardo Bikes, which will be available in AU & NZ and on Italian Bicycles of course since FEB 2013.... or perhaps earlier, who knows!!
So far we know that Lombardo Italian Bicycles is indeed filling up a huge gap in AU and NZ markets with genuine Italian-made quality bicycles with decent pricing, such as vintage, city, trekking, hybrid, road and MTB. It is indeed only since 2009 that Lombardo Bikes brand is available in Asia Pacific but its reliability and its quality of design are yet to be matched by any other brand on the current market.
Haven't tried a Lombardo Bike yet? Easy done!
Order your new Italian made bike at ITALIAN BICYCLES and have 30 days to decide if you wish to keep it.... you will only need the first 5min ride!!
See you next time!
