For immediate release:

Amsterdam, August 22nd 2017 - The Speedvagen crew is heading to Europe from August 26th to September 11th with stops in Amsterdam, London and Girona. They'll host fittings, events with partners and friends, Fit Clinics and Speedvagen demo rides. In the middle of the beautiful canals the Speedvagen team will be setup at the Rapha Amsterdam Clubhouse from Saturday, August 26th to Tuesday, August 29th. There will be rides with the Speedvagen crew, with the possibility test-rides, attend a Fit Clinic as well as still signing up for a fitting.

What I am really starting to find is that there are many people who are not racers that could be enjoying a much nicer cycling experience with a steel bike made for them  ex-pro Christian Meier 

In London Speedvagen has also partnered with Rapha, and the fittings will take place at their beautiful Soho Clubhouse from Thursday, August 31st to Sunday, September 3rd. Like Amsterdam, there will be rides, demos, a Fit Clinic as well as fittings for a custom Speedvagen.

Christian Meier was so impressed by his Speedvagen he decided to purchase a small fleet as rental bikes for his The Service Course business.  Paul Skilbeck from handbuildbicyclenews.com

For the ultimate custom experience, they've partnered with Speedvagen owner, and former world tour professional rider, Christian Meier, for an extended stop at his new shop, the Service Course in Girona. People from all over Europe are able to fly over and enjoy the luxury treatment that Service Course has to offer, as well as test riding bikes in the most beautiful surroundings possible. From Tuesday, September 5th to Monday, September 11th future Speedvagen owners can sign up for the full treatment of what Christian experienced riding for teams like Garmin or Orica with one of the packages he's put together or configure one that works best for you. 

If you're interested in a fitting, email [email protected] to sign up.

About the Vanilla Workshop

Sacha White started making frames in 1999 under the Vanilla name. By 2003, the bikes had gained a sort of cult following and White came up against two problems: 1) the waitlist for a Vanilla had grown to 5 years and 2) because of the long wait, many owners weren’t riding their bikes the way they were meant to be ridden. Being a racer and ex-messenger himself White, while he loved to build something that was very fine, had no interest in building a bike that was going to hang on a wall.

About Speedvagen

Born in 2006, Speedvagen was created as an answer to the stigma of long waitlist and perceived preciousness of Vanilla. At it’s core, Speedvagen is a minimalist, modern race machine, built for each individual owner with a turn around time of 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on the details. All design, fabrication, paint and buildout is done in-house in our Portland, Oregon workshop.

Over Twotone Amsterdam

The roots of Twotone go back in 2007, when Twotone’s founder – Jon Woodroof – cofounded a fixed-gear focused bike shop in Atlanta, GA named No Brakes. His clothes nearly always matched his track bike & he earned the nickname Twotone. Jon cut his teeth on promoting his own shop, the brands they sold, and even suppliers, athletes, and other organisations they partnered with all before Instagram!

Those entrepreneurial roots grew into the hold your line, you'll be fine full-send approach to how we run our business today. A 10-year-old nickname became a Dutch BV in 2014 & Twotone has become THE one-stop-shop for cycling-savvy sales, marketing, and PR across Europe in the USA.

Over the course of the past nearly 9 years of helping brands find their way & have their say, we’re grateful for the successes, lessons, and trust! Schedule a meeting to learn more!
