A hand-made Italian bicycle, valued 1,300$ proudly donated by LOMBARDO BIKES will be auctioned during ICCI Qld's Corporate Luncheon with special guest The Hon Peter Beattie on March 21st



The Touring 26 is the latest model among the Vintage line produced by Lombardo Bikes, a family-owned bicycles manufacturer based in South Italy. In common with all Lombardo models this bicycle line is hand-made under strict quality production processes, derived from a long established Italian know-how dated since 1952.
Unlike many of the modern designs, this bicycle is built following an “old style concept” in which the frame is made of steel with lugs, set with a steel fork. The strong vintage character is conferred through a magnificent leather saddle, a saddle’s bag and two lateral Montegrappa© bags exclusively designed for the Lombardo Vintage line, creating a bicycle that moves comfortably in the city and its surroundings while exhibiting perfect road handling in high style.
Thanks to a non-aggressive frame design, a wide handle bar and its robustness, the Touring 26 is not simply beautiful to look at in fact, it is exceptionally comfortable and relaxing to ride with. A lower top tube and 26” wheels make this bicycle the greatest and safest choice for the modern, stylish and dynamic woman with a dedicated taste for class.
The Touring 28 is the exact replication of Touring 26 with the exception of the 28” wheels and its straight top tube, which make the bike a superb riding companion for men who indulge class and elegance. Both Lombardo Touring models are complemented with a dynamo lights set, front and rear, ensuring perfect lighting for evening rides as well as extreme care for the environment thanks to absolute no battery usage.
