As the robust, hard-wearing and hard-working brother of the Churchill Classic, this bicycle still remains just as elegant and enduring… Set apart from the classic, the Churchill Balloon is for the gent who wants to add a little bounce to his step with its Schwalbe Fat Frank tires that roll easily and are effortless to steer. The “Balloonbike” concept not only makes commuting by bike more comfortable and fun—it’s so simple. Instead of complicated forks and swingarms the suspension is made possible by the cushioning of the broad, bouncy tires creating a whole new riding experience that lets you tackle curbs and potholes with ease.

Like all Velorbis bicycles, the Churchill Balloon is at the very top of its class; designed in Denmark, individually handcrafted in Germany and outfitted with highest quality parts. A distinguishing feature is that the lugged and brazed hand built diamond frame is produced from the highest quality Chromoly steel, rather than heavier hi-ten steel found on most steel bike frames today. As a result, the overall frame weight is lighter than the average Dutch-style bicycle without compromising on durability, making the Churchill Balloon the perfect fit for navigating through traffic jams, lifting on and off trains or up and down city steps.
