The MONZA is a chromium plated, pure-bred roadster equipped with the Sturmey Archer Duomatic 2-speed hub.
The ‘invisible’ Sturmey Archer Duomatic, preserves the pure and minimal aesthetics of our roadster, yet it offers a 2-speed gear hub operated with the ‘Kick Shift’ changer which dispenses with cables or wear issues.The typical characteristics of the handcrafted BELLA CIAO diamond frame has been maintained as with all our roadsters. The MONZA is handcrafted from Columbus Cromor tubing by our master frame builders in Northern Italy. This tube set is one of the thinnest and the most elegant Columbus has to offer being strong, lightweight and versatile – just as one would expect from a true classic.Its long wheelbase and compact center of gravity make this frame perfect for a lightweight roadster. Gliding through the city on an MONZA is a silent and razor-sharp cycling sensation. Now available from Bikesales4u. http://bikesales4u.com/bella-ciao-bikes/the-monza/

The Pletscher Rear Rack CS is a true design classic. In the cycling boom of the 70s Pletscher made the company world famous by designing this raised two snap rear rack capable of carrying bulky loads such as ‘’wine boxes’’. The rack design has been copied many times since then - the legendary quality of the original, however, remains unmatched. The rack is made from polished die cast aluminum in Switzerland, and weighs in at 520g.
This original Pletscher Rear Rack CS is an optional extra on all Bella Ciao bikes.
