Basiel & Babette

With Basiel & Babette, the possibilities are endless.

Basiel & Babette are among the most recognisable Achielle bicycles:

classic in design, handmade in steel, and fully customisable to match your way of riding.

You can keep them simple and pure, with a sportier riding position and a Sturmey-Archer Duomatic system, allowing you to shift by briefly pedalling backwards. No unnecessary cables — just a clean city bike with character.

Or you can build Basiel & Babette into a comfortable everyday city bike, with an upright riding position, Shimano Nexus 8 gearing, and hub dynamo lighting.

Then you define the look: choose from 30 colours, with mudguards and rims in matching tones or contrasting finishes. The same classic base can become a completely different bicycle.

Remark:

The photos still show stainless steel rims and a frame pump, but these are no longer available. Basiel & Babette now always come with aluminium rims and without a frame pump.
