Assembling your bike is empowering. It’s a great way to understand how it works! Please click here to view our step by step guide to assembly. View our assembly video here.

  • The bike arrives in a box. The handlebars, front wheel, front mudguard, pedals and saddle must be attached.
  • You will need a multi-tool or hex key set, 10mm spanner, 15mm wrench, scissors, pliers, a screwdriver and a pump.

Some things to note:

  • If you assemble your own bike, it’s very important that you do it correctly. If you have doubts, pay your local bike mechanic to check over your handiwork or assemble it for you.
  • In the first few weeks of use, you can expect your bike to ‘bed-in’. You must check everything is tight before each ride. Cables will stretch so your gears and brakes will need adjustment.

Finding the correct size bike starts with measuring the legs. Take a measuring tape, place it on the floor inside the leg and measure upwards. Now check the chart below.

More About The Brownie 7

It's Colourful
This adult bike is complete with stylish gloss paintwork in hues from Moody Blue through Blueberry and Mint Green all the way to Black, so you can customise the colour of this Bobbin Brownie to suit your style.

The immaculate bike frame is teamed with a colour-matched rear rack, chain guard and mudguards, along with solid cream tyres and a classy ding dong bell to make you heard on busy roads! This dutch bicycle and its vintage aesthetic oozes timeless appeal.

It Has Easy-Use Gears
If you thought you needed 21 gears...let us persuade you to think again. For all the bike nerds out there, the Brownie 7 has all the range of gears you need with a Shimano Tourney rapid-fire shifter, 7-speed gears and 14-34 rear cassette.

So what does that all mean? Well, the gear shifting is simple to suit your riding style, leaving you to concentrate on looking around, waving at passers-by and enjoying the ride. Perfect for a dependable bike ride whether you're stuck on a steep hill or just cruising along in the city centre.

It Has a Lightweight Frame
The Bobbin Brownie 7 has a lightweight alloy rack on the back, to match the alloy frame. At just 13kg, you'll notice the lightness if you need to carry your bike up steps. The Brownie 7 is the perfect bike if you live in an upstairs apartment or have to carry your Dutch style bike anywhere.

Frame Size
Our signature dutch bicycle is available in two sizes (S/M and M/L), and has standard 700c wheels, making spares easy to source. If you're looking for a larger bike, check out the Daytripper and other road bikes - with the same specs but on a larger bike frame.

A Classic Ladies Dutch Bike
Here at Bobbin Bicycles, our wide range of unisex bikes isn't geared towards one person or another. That being said, Dutch style ladies bikes are an absolute staple of any conversation on retro women's bikes.

So whether you're after a heritage bike for a loved one, or you just want a classic bike and have fallen in love with the Dutch style, the Brownie 7 is built to be enjoyed by everyone!

A Comfortable Ride
This men and women's city bike features a Bobbin sprung saddle and Duracork handlebar grips to make riding your Dutch bike through the city for long periods a pleasurable experience.
