Blending modern components with Victorian graphics and sensibilities, the Claire cruiser from US bikemaker Felt is sure to brighten up even the dullest day with its vibrant orange paint job and cream coloured tyres. Keeping things straightforward, the Claire has a reliably strong steel frame, three-speed Shimano gearing and a coaster brake for minimal mechanical fuss, plus high handlebars and a springer seat for a silky ride. Next stop, Miami beachfront!
