Papillionaire bicycles update

I know a lot of people are eagerly awaiting new Papillionaire bicycles so I thought I would let you know where we're at. Papillionaire have been out of stock of almost all of their colours since February, which is why it's been a while since we've had a bike in-store.

We were expecting a bicycle to arrive mid-April (as in now!) but unfortunately I've just heard from Papillionaire that their entire stock of 3-speed bicycles has been held up with a shipping delay and they are now expecting the container to arrive on the last day of the month. That means our shiny red 3-speed Sommer bicycle should arrive around 5th May. This one will be available for you to buy or to take for a little test ride! Sorry for the delay, but hopefully it will all be worth it!

There is also a new 8-speed Sommer model, which will be available from late May and comes in black, blue (Maya) and red (Boston). We can take orders for both the 3-speed and 8-speed models in any colour you like, and tailor them to your specifications - see the Papillionaire website for all your options!

The prices have gone up a little, so the 3-speed will be $765 (previously $749) and the 8-speed will be $915. This includes all upgrades (leather saddle, leather washer grips, rear carrier, wicker basket), delivery to our Subiaco store (we will deliver to your place for a small additional fee) and assembly.

If you have any questions about Papillionaire bicycles or if you'd like me to let you know when the red Sommer arrives in early May, leave a comment here or send me an email. Otherwise keep an eye on the blog as I'll post a picture as soon as it turns up!
