DUTCH MASTER BIKE, BY CORE 77

The powerful industrial design blog, Core 77, collaborated with a NY-based bike maker for this special project… the Dutch Master bike. While definitely not cheap at a price of $1560, the bike is a beautiful sight to behold.

Fast Company gives the details, “The frame is based on a Workman cruiser frame, made in New York. Core 77 then customized the frame, with the help of KT Higgins, proprietor of the Bushwick Bike Shop, a former bike messenger, and a celebrated bike mechanic. Each one runs $1,560. Which is obviously expensive, but you’d pay just a tad under that for the parts alone, according to our back of the envelope calculations. What you’re really paying for is the design, and the time you save in specing the components (no small thing).

If you’re curious to learn more about the bike, the designers and builders will be at the Apple Store in Soho at 11am, Saturday, July 11th, to show off the design.”
