The famous Alex Singer!!

You want vintage, you got vintage: Pedersen bicycles made by Pedersen manufaktur a german company. There was a danish company that made these but apparently this german company "stole" their production. Don't know what the hell happened. There was one on sale on Craigslist a few months back. I should have just answered the ad just to take a test ride on it.

Ah, what is "classic style"?

Anyway, the bike built today most like the one I was touring and commuting on 40 years ago here.

Bridgestone

Other Panasonics have been mentioned, but not this one.

And of course, Flying Pigeon.

Tune Fast Foot maybe.

Yes here is the story for the pedersen ones..

I just get completely socked with the bridgestone one!!, I never imagine they make bikes, and, its a japaneese company?
incredible, very original bikes

I recently ran across Republic Bike. They only have two models on two completely different sides of the spectrum... a hipster fixie and a very attractive single-speed dutch bike. Both have been aggressively priced at $399. They will customize the bike in your own colors and have it shipped within 2 business days. Talk about bringing classic bikes to the masses!
