Velo Orange Piolet and Polyvalent Now Offered as Complete Bikes

Velo Orange offers five different framesets, all requiring the rider to put together a custom build. For those looking for a complete bike there wasn’t an option, until now. Velo Orange is now offering complete builds of their Piolet and Polyvalent models.

“If you simply want to jump into commuting, touring, randonneuring, trail-riding, and whatever-ing rather than navigating the landscape of component compatibility, we have developed and selected each piece of kit for reliability, durability, and ease of maintenance.”

And beauty, they forgot beauty. These bikes are incredible looking.
