1 World Trading Co. is pleased to announce the launch of Re-Cycles Bicycles Unlimited. Recycled, refurbished and re-invented relaxed retro rides radically reducing reliance upon reprocessed rotting Rexs'. Or in other words, a cool line of refurbished commuter bicycles designed to help reduce the use of a car for short trips around town. I have collected Raleighs, Schwinns and Columbia's all with swooped back bars, cushy springer saddles, fenders and racks.

 

We have two basic models:

  • Peace, Love and Harmony
             is a 3 speed model with the old internal rear hub and chain guard.
  • 1 World-1 Gear
             is a lean single speed version of the classic citybike.

 

     These bikes, have all been cleaned up with fresh rubber, grease etc...most still wear their original paint & stickers and lots of chrome. The chains on the old sturmey-archer 3 speeds with internal gearing don't move around, so they have chainguards. The single speeds were once chunky 10 speeds with friction shifters up on the stem, and lots of heavy components not really necessary to the ride. Having been subjected to a strict diet eliminating as much iron as possible, the leaner, faster and simpler bikes will put a smile on your face.
