Venus is your ticket to elevated city cycling. Retrospec's leading 7-speed city bike pairs a classic silhouette with first-class components for an all-around dreamy ride. We hand build our bikes using high-tensile strength steel for a frame as durable as it is dazzling. Venus is a delightful blend of classic charm and modern componentry. A Shimano 7-speed RevoShift grip twist shifter and Shimano Altus derailleur make switching gears a walk, or bike, in the park. Easily transition from hilly streets to flat city paths with a flick of the wrist. Venus’ 700x32C Kenda Commuter tires sport strategically placed water dispersal grooves for consistent grip and control as you ride, even in wet conditions. Sealed Cartridge Bearings keeps dirt and grime out of your bike and away from integral components, so your bike stays on the road longer.
