Imperial Classic Geared Commuter

We’re proud to be recognised by Cycling News as one of the "Bicycle Companies We Trust". Our classic, steel-frame bikes are designed and built to order in the UK, using carefully selected components sourced from around the world. Purpose-built for commuters, they combine timeless style with everyday practicality.

Our geared bikes come fitted with a Shimano 7-speed in-hub system, offering a clean look and low maintenance with no external derailleur to worry about. The internal hub allows for smooth, precise shifting whether you're tackling steep inclines, cruising through the city, or gliding along country roads. With the versatility to handle varied terrain and gradients and a built-in coaster brake for simple, reliable stopping, it’s the ideal setup for riders who want more to climb hills without a fuss.

The Imperial is the same high specification 4130 chromoly frame as the Varsity but the frame is electroplated in chrome for a unique finish. Contrasting black wheels & components complete the look that will set you apart from the crowd. This quick, low maintenance bike is the ultimate headturner!

The Commuter range is built with comfort in mind, featuring a cushioned saddle for those not used to narrow racing seats. We also know everyone has different riding positions, so we’ve included an adjustable stem on all our Commuter bikes to help you find your perfect setup. Detachable mudguards come as standard ideal for keeping dry on rainy rides and can be easily removed during the summer months. We’ve upgraded to 32C puncture-resistant tyres for a smoother ride over city potholes, without sacrificing speed. And for those who prefer not to ride with a backpack, the sturdy rear rack is perfect for carrying luggage and pairs with our quick-release waterproof panniers.
