SUMMER

Suddenly you realize it's summer again, when afternoon drinks turn into pizzas at the park that turn into a night out with friends.






And you kind of love it!

Update!

Good day, mates!

Spring time is here and the sun is shining! If you haven't started your cycling season, do it today!  In Finland, the fixed gear culture has increased a lot from last summer. A fixed gear bicycle is more than just a regular bike. It's a social vehicle that brings people together.

I reckon that the main reason for the growth of fixed gear culture is the great world of internet. There are so many nice websites to visit. If you're finnish, join www.yksivaihde.net community and get yourself to the center of the finnish fixed gear culture. Find some other cool sites on the right side of this page.  Le Prince's task is to increase the growth of the brilliant fixed gear culture even more.

Le Prince products have been  available for customers for a couple of weeks and the feedback has been amazing. That feels fantastic! We sell Le Prince in Turku Finland, but for the people in Helsinki area;  We have couple of 53 cm Le Prince bicycles in Helsinki, so if you want to have a test drive or just a look at the bicycle, contact joonas@leprince.fi.

Riding Le Prince feels amazing. It runs so smoothly and quietly! The standard ratio 48/18 is perfect for city cruising and the weight (10kgs) gives a good stability and control of the bicycle. Frame set with a fork, headset and bearings weights about 3 kgs, price 299€.

Just to let you know, most of the components used in Le Prince can also be purchased individually. The campaign price for the complete Le Prince bicycle is 570€ (699€).
