🌏 WE DELIVER ANYWHERE IN EUROPE 🛫

MADE IN ITALY · SINCE 1960

Ride into your dolce vita.

The Adriatica Retro is the bike that turns your morning bakery run into the best part of the day. Step-through frame for skirts and dresses, upright posture so you can take in the city, and a wicker basket sized for a baguette and a bouquet.

Built in Pesaro, Italy, on a hand-finished aluminium frame — light enough to carry up to your apartment, beautiful enough that you won't want to.

A bike for the woman who rides slowly on purpose.

A DAY ON THE ADRIATICA

Slow mornings, long afternoons.

This isn't a bike for racing across town. It's a bike for the rides you actually want to take — the ones that turn the city into a place worth seeing.

08:30

To the bakery

Fresh bread, the basket exactly the right size for a baguette and a coffee for the way home.

13:00

Picnic in the park

Lunch with friends, a bottle of wine in the basket, the bike resting against a tree under the sun.

18:30

Evening at the café

Skirt fluttering, golden hour on the cobblestones, the slowest five kilometres of your day.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Honest answers to real questions

Buying a bike online is a leap of faith. We've answered the questions our customers actually ask — no fluff.

Will this bike fit me?

The Adriatica Retro 28" women's bike fits riders roughly 160–180 cm tall. The 28-inch wheel size and the height of the frame are designed for adult women — if you're under 160 cm, the 26-inch version is a better fit.

If you're not sure, email us your height and we'll confirm before you order.

Can I really ride this in a skirt or dress?

Yes — that's exactly what the step-through frame is designed for. There's no top tube to swing your leg over, so you can mount and dismount in any outfit.

The full chain guard also keeps fabric (and your trousers) away from the chain, so no oil stains.

Does it arrive assembled?

The bike arrives roughly 90% assembled. You'll need to attach the front wheel, handlebars, pedals, and saddle — about 20–30 minutes with the included tools and instructions.

If you'd rather not, our service team in Riga can fully assemble and tune the bike before delivery for a small fee. Just leave a note at checkout or contact us.

How heavy is it? Can I carry it up stairs?

The Adriatica Retro weighs around 14–15 kg with the basket fitted. It's lighter than a typical steel city bike thanks to the aluminium frame, but it's still a full-size bike — manageable for one flight of stairs, awkward for four.

If you live in a walk-up, we'd recommend leaving it locked in a stairwell or basement rather than carrying daily.

How much can the basket hold?

The wicker basket fits comfortably: a baguette and groceries for two, a small handbag and a coat, a bouquet of flowers, or a bottle of wine and a picnic blanket.

Maximum recommended load is 5 kg — enough for daily errands, not for a full week's grocery shop.

What about service and warranty?

The Adriatica Retro comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty on the frame and components. We're an authorised Adriatica dealer in Latvia, so warranty claims go through us directly — no shipping the bike back to Italy.

Our service workshop in Riga handles tune-ups, repairs, and seasonal maintenance for any bike we sell.

Delivery and returns?

We deliver across Latvia in 1–4 working days and across the Baltics and EU in 4–7 days. Bikes are shipped in a protective box.

Returns are accepted within 14 days if the bike is unused and in original packaging. If something arrived damaged, contact us straight away — we'll sort it out faster than a return.

Still unsure about sizing or specs? We're a small Latvian shop and we answer every email personally — usually the same day.
