Hello Rose,

I'm sure there will be an option near you. Sorry we couldn't be of greater assistance, if there's anything else please just let us know.

Hi Amy,

The Classic Plus is simply the newest version of our ladies vintage bike in the classic range. Upgrades over the older model include stronger pannier, wider range of colours and alloy handlebars.

Both use a Shimano 7-speed system. Please note that there isn't many of the older classics available, so size and colour options are limited.

I hope this has helped! If there's anything else, please ask.
Kind regards,
Matt

Hi Amy,

We do have a returns process for customers who order items online. If your bike arrives and it is the wrong size the you should contact the customer service team who can arrange for your bike to be sent back to warehouse. They can be contacted on (03) 9329 1222.

Please do not destroy any of that packaging the bike comes with as you will need it if the bike is to be sent back to us.

If you have any further questions please feel free to call us we love to talk to customers about all things bike!

Regards,
Reid.

Hi Lim,

Yes the price in store is always exactly the same (unless otherwise stated for an online only promotion).

Hi Steph L. Are you close enough to a store for a test ride..? That's always the best bet when on the cusp. With a bike like this though there is some leeway. How confident are you on a bike? If you're really confident I would say try the larger size, if a bit new then go the smaller. At 165cm you won't have trouble with leg clearance against the handlebars on the small frame (which is the main problem with getting a small Vintage bike) so it pretty much comes down to preference.

Hi Nomoney,

We recommend the max rider weight for the Ladies Vintage bike is 110kg. You can certainly ride the bike over this weight but the spokes (and potential subsequent damage to the rim) will not be warrantied if anything happens. 110kg is a pretty common limit for recommendations unless you are looking at a Mountain Bike.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
David

Hi

We do not yet have a store or distributer in Tasmania but would love to in the future. However we do ship to Tasmania. At the moment we have an offer on which is free shipping anywhere in Australia for orders over $50. This may be very useful for you.

If you have any questions about this or stock availability please call our customer service staff who can be reached during business hours on (03) 9329 1222.

Hi Monir M,

Here is the weight breakdown:
Vintage Ladies 7-Speed Classic PLUS: 15.43kgs
Vintage Ladies Deluxe: 15.08kgs
Vintage Ladies 7-Speed Lite: 14.42kgs
Vintage Classic Singlespeed: 14.85kgs

To get much lighter you would need to look at our flat bar road bikes which come in under 11kg.

How tall are you? If under 157cm you could ride the Vintage Petite http://www.reidcycles.com.au/ladies-petite-vintage-24.html which weighs 14.3kg and is a bit smaller so easier to handle.

Thanks,
David

Hi Julia. The Petite is designed for riders 142-157cm and will be around 1.5kg lighter. The small Classic Ladies bike is suited to riders 151cm-165cm. Regards, David

Good morning Linda,
I would recommend the Classic PLUS. It is our 2015 model and perfect for what you are looking for.
We have lovely dutch vintage sprung saddles and grips to match, which are very comfortable.
Feel free to pop into our North Melbourne store and try one out for yourself.
I hope this helps?

Kind Regards

Sophie.

Hi Gusey. The 7-Speed Classic PLUS is a better bike. It has 7 gears which makes riding easier and now features upgraded stainless steel and alloy parts so it will handle the weather.

Hi patriciatldavid. The Classic 7 speed offers a wider range of gears but the Deluxe is a higher quality bike all around (and weighs about the same). The lightest of the Vintage bikes is the 7-speed Lite http://www.reidcycles.com.au/reid-vintage-ladies-7-speed-lite.html

If you are near a store you can go for a test ride, otherwise please phone our Customer Service team (03) 9329 1222 and tell us a bit more about your riding - distance etc so we can consider your options. Thanks.

Hi Bikeless. You're at the lower limt but yes, the small will suit. As for the Adelaide store we are planning to open at the end of September. Enter your email here to get updates on opening info and deals http://www.reidcycles.com.au/adelaide

Hi Mojo. The small size would suit. As for the bike - they are all SAI safety certified and come with a lifetime frame and fork warranty, 2 years on parts and a 2 week satisfaction guarantee so you can return if you don't love it. Most customers find these bikes are outstanding value.

Hi, Rachael. Good question! The Reid Vintages Ladies bike has a retro look, but modern components mean that it's easy to ride. The 6-speed gives you a fairly wide range of gears so going up hills or into the wide won't be too tough. The chopper style bikes are fashion over function, but I'd describe our bikes as fashionable and functional. I hope that helps!

Hi Miaoww,

I assume you mean the Ladies Vintage Singlespeed? In that case we would recommend you choose the small size. This is suitable for people 152-165cm. Happy for you to come in for a test ride.

Thanks,
David

Hi Kelly,

We would recommend 100kg as max.

Thanks,
David
