Paula

From kindergarten to the office, shopping at the market, from the hairdresser to a café, getting the kids to their grandparents right after a glass of champagne with the girlfriend, rushing to the theater with her loved one – 24 hours is far too short a day for the modern woman. But without PAULA it would be much shorter. With her 8-speed internal gear hub PAULA overcomes each distance in no time. Along the way she provides a relaxed and upright position and thus a very comfortable ride in every situation. No distance too far, no burden too heavy – whether the kindergarten, before or after shopping – rack or basket hold the head and hands free for the essentials. What may they be? A PAULA-rider experiences it every day.
Klara is just like the Paula but has a 3-speed.

Paul

PAUL is not a bike for eating up miles, but for relaxed and enjoyable cultured excursions. His extravagant fork crown looks like the grille of an Art Deco legend one would approach respectfully. Wide handlebars offer a relaxed position and give the sovereign sense of security on every surface. The upright, active posture ensures good vision of the passing scenery.
Handlebars, arm and shoulder form a circle that subtly highlights the rider’s position. We also test PAUL behind the scenes with the most current technology. The steel frame absorbs major bumps in the road effectively and small vibrations are transformed into the humming of your balloon tires. You will feel like sauntering to an opera premiere – even if it’s only on the way to work. Klaus is just like the Paul but has a 3-speed.

Paul – Alfine 1, 2 or 8-Speed

In the middle of the 1970s a half-dozen guys modified cruiser bikes into what they called KLUNKERS and piloted down the hillsides near San Francisco. Later, this hippie fun became known as mountain biking. For our MODERN SERIES, this rebellious history is inspiration and initiation. So we got to the bottom of it – with a big grin. Of course, mountain bikes were not made for the towns. So in 2007 we took MODERN PAUL and OTTO DUO to their birthplace, the legendary Repack, where they were honored by a fascinating ride with Joe Breeze. The Avid mechanical disc brakes are just as reliable as the modern 8-speed Alfine or, alternatively, the 2-speed Schlumpf bottom bracket gearbox. This drive – as well as the purist single speed configuration – is absolute understatement that makes challenging routes a lasting riding pleasure. You’ll find reliable current technology with enjoyable, subtle classic style.

Specs:

• frame size: 57 / 59 cm (22,5 / 23,2”)
• frame for disc brakes and eccentric bottom bracket
• Shimano Alfine 8-speed internal hub
• Avid BB7 disc brakes front and rear
• Shimano hub generator
• Busch & Müller LUMOTEC retro chromed head light
• Busch & Müller LED-seculite chromed tail light
• Brooks leather saddle B68
• ESGE centre stand
• stainless steel fenders

Otto Solo/Duo

From our experience, it was a logical consequence, to also equip the PONYVELO chassis with the legendary SCHLUMPF 2-speed bottom bracket gear box and thus assign a 2-speed turbo OTTO DUO to the single speed OTTO SOLO. OTTO DUO is not for jelly legs – a „muscle-style“ steel pony, made for a quick traffic light race. You’ll have a little smell of stud – but propelled by muscularity and not horse power. Also it is combined with Swiss understatement – reliable as Swiss clockwork, the kick with the heel does the trick to the wheel. You’ll shift the second gear as if you would spur your pony. Feeling young is not a phase, but an attitude.

• frame size: 50 / 52 cm (19,7” / 20,5”)
• frame for 24” wheelset,
