Daisy

Daisy’s our second frame – featuring Australian grown Aurea bamboo!

Style

A city style flat-bar commuter for a lady. An 8-speed drive-train sorts out even the toughest hills around Melbourne, combined with fast 28mm tyres she’ll get around lightning quick. Dual-pivot brakes and a 40mm suspension seat post will provide comfort and safety. Bliss!
