Creme Cycles are the creme de la creme of bicycles. These Dutch inspired bikes ooz class and originality, make no mistake your guaranteed to to turn heads on one of these!

Creme Cycles are not mass produced and made by a huge corporation, all Creme bikes are hand made from the ground up. The philosophy behind the design of these bikes is to keep everything minimalistic and simple - these bicycles are designed for everyday commuting there is a minimum amount of parts sticking out, or fiddly bits that you have to adjust and maintain.

The attention to detail that can be found in these bikes is exceptional - the good folks at Creme have spent countless hours looking at every single detail on the bikes, perfecting every aspect. One of the first things you will notice when you jump on a Creme bike is that...these bikes don't rattle!! there is no noisy clinks and clanks, nothing but smooth sailing and the wind on your face.

Creme = happy days

BRAND SPOTLIGHT: Creme Bikes

2011-09-23T05:51:00.000-07:00

With Szymon Kobylinski's existing brands - NS Bikes and Octane One - both already established within the Hotlines portfolio, the distributor is smiling like a cat that's got the Crème, having brought a third on board. Mark Sutton attends the UK trade launch...

Held in the heart of London's fixed gear scene in what was more or less a glass box, it's hardly surprising Hotlines had to stick a notice stating 'invitation only' to the door of Crème's London trade launch.

With a bike shop and soon-to-be Crème stockist next door, passing trade several times skidded in its tracks to glance into the showroom filled with the new brand's 18 models, which comprehensively cover both men and women.

For most passing it would have been the striking blends of chrome and shiny powder coated paints that caught the eye, though for those lucky enough to get a closer look at the line up, the attention to detail on each build is key to Crème's appeal. On the higher-end models in particular, some of which will see aftermarket frames available through Hotlines post-Eurobike, shoppers will see hidden cable-routing as standard, stylish saddles from both San Marco and Brooks, low-maintenance internal gearing only and Tange tubing, all stylishly lugged and presented with a top-quality scratch-proof paint finish.

"We wanted people to take away our bikes and not have to worry about any maintenance," says Kobylinski. "These bikes are for everyday people who don't necessarily ride bikes, for people who don't need carbon and clever components. The range has been tested with non-bike people and has gone down brilliantly."

And it's a non-biker behind the design work too, adding some outside perspective to Kobylinski's vision for Crème.

"Our designer who has carefully planned the colours and the chrome touches is not from the bicycle business. Previously he has designed within the kiteboarding world, so he has a really outside-the-box way of thinking about bike design."

Having taken just one year to produce the line between seven dedicated staff, said to have "worked some very long days" to get Crème's catalogue of bikes to production, the first shipment is now due in stock at Hotlines by the time this magazine hits desks. Other territories are said to have already ‘gone a little crazy’ for Kobylinski's third brand.

"We have customers in Japan who are super keen to receive bikes at the first opportunity. In our home country – Poland – the locals are enthusiastic about our bikes, while south of us in Germany we also have strong dealer bookings. The UK is a massive territory for us, however, and the retailers here appear to have placed strong pre-orders based on the catalogue shots alone."

In London, at least, it’s the fixed gear bicycles that have got many in a spin.

"Our fixed gear (Vinyl) line are supplied with some really stylish stainless Dia Compe brake mounts should the buyer want to run stoppers, as well as a supplied brake. What's more, and perhaps a key selling point, is that we also provide two styles of handlebar with the bike, including a riser bar in the box, meaning the customer can tailor the riding position, all while maintaining the colour scheme right from the first pedal. If that wasn't enough, we also throw in leather straps for the pedals."

'Crème Cycles is new to the business of manufacturing commuter bikes in Europe, but they have already proven themselves through their creation of bikes. They happen to create a quality urban bikes from passion, seen through their two favorite lines; The Caferacers, for long distances riding and commuting, and The HolyMoly line in its modern twist of Dutch-style bikes.'

Whiteboard journal

For cycling enthusiasts

2011-08-04T04:50:00.000-07:00

'Commuting often involves some sort of transport that relies on four wheels, or more. Typically, a car, a train, or a bus. Scaling things back, the bicycle prefers the smallest prime number as its wheel-number of choice. Rolling around on two wheels gives the bicycle independence, fresh air and the chance to test out its rider’s coordination. For cycling enthusiasts at the Creme Cycles team, a beautifully crafted bike is the perfect marriage of design and function. Designed to mirror the characteristics of bikes from the past, the Creme Cycles range embodies a simple aesthetic, whilst simultaneously exuding artful charm and craftsmanship. Each displaying its own creative and quirky personality, the range includes the CafeRacer, the Holymoly, the Vinyl and the Glider.'

'If you believe in the beauty of bicycles, then you'll love these classic ones by Creme Cycles. The new, European company says it all started with a dream. I love their story.

"One day, after stumbling across a bunch of beautiful old bike parts in a friends attic and realizing just how little care and attention to detail can be found in today's city bikes, we decided that it was time to make our dream a reality.

"We wanted our bikes to be simple and accessible, but at the same time they had to be a form of art, a tribute to the love for materials, details and craftsmanship. And today, when we see the finished product, we hope that you will see these values in our bikes the same way as we do. To us they are just like Italian espresso - simple, popular, but when each one is made with love and care, it becomes a small work of art."

The philosophy behind these bikes is to keep everything minimalistic and simple. Attention to detail isn't lost, however. Creme's goal is to manufacture modern bicycles that are both practical and beautiful. Creme's designs have the simple lines usually seen on retro bicycles, but they also include modern elements like internal gear systems and an iPod charger powered by a dynamo in the front hub. Their sturdy steel frames are powder-coated to maintain shine, and they claim that the cycles don't rattle when launched from curbs and over bumps.'

The inspiration comes one day, after stumbling across a bunch of beautiful old bike parts in a friends attic and realizing just how little care and attention to detail can be found in today’s city bikes. Every Creme steel is a little piece of art and a tribute to the love for materials, details and craftsmanship.'

'Creme Cycles is a new European company manufacturing classic commuter bikes. Although the company is young, it has roots in design and manufacturing that date back to the beginning of the century.

Creme’s mission is to make timeless, quality urban bikes propelled by passion. Each bike is made with a hand built, lugged steel frames and unique features such as Brooks leather saddles and hand polished rims. The frames in the higher end models are built by Tange, a world famous maker of cromoly tubes from Japan, with an 90 year tradition.

They’ve launched three main lines: The track bike line is called Vinyl — classic fixed gear bikes in several color options and two price levels. The Caferacers are classic randonneur bikes that are great for long distance riding and commuting, giving the perfect balance between speed and comfort. They come in men’s and ladies’ models, where the latter is built around beautiful “mixte” frames. The Holymoly line is a modern twist on Dutch-style bikes, and here Creme also offers both ladies and men’s models in two price levels.'

'I came across the website of Creme Cycles last week and have fallen 100% in love with their fixed-gear track bike (called Vinyl, shown above). This bike is just downright pretty. It's so minimal and clean, exactly what I would want a bike to look like. Road bikes are utilitarian and practical, but are often covered in excess branding. The thing I love about fixed and single speed bikes is how aesthetically simple and polished they are. No frills. So yeah, I've concluded that I need this bike in addition to the road bike I already own. I want it like no other. '

I know it’s only 8am, but doesn’t that sound delicious right about now? I’ve never (ever) been above starting my day with dessert so I’m really tempted to walk to the corner store and get one now. But first, Creme Cycles. '

'May is National Bike Month so I’ve been doing my best to get out and ride as much as possible. Nothing beats a neighborhood bike ride to clear your head and remind you of being a kid again. While I love my bike, I’m always tempted by new models that come out. And these new frames from Creme Cycles are seriously tempting. '

'Manufactured in Europe, Creme designs commuter bikes with the help of an expert steel frame maker from Japan. I love the way they combine street bike coolness with details that feel a bit more feminine and design-forward. I think everyone should ride a bike at least a few times a week so if these inspire anyone to pick up and ride, Bike Month will be doing its job. Click here to check out Creme’s bikes online.
