Julie x Brooks England 150 yrs

A limited edition of the Julie created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Brooks England.

In 2016, Brooks England celebrated its 150th anniversary. Back in 1866, John Boultbee Brooks began producing various leather goods. To mark this milestone, Brooks England selected 12 bicycle manufacturers from around the world, including Achielle. Each manufacturer was invited to create a limited edition bicycle inspired by the theme of copper.

Achielle was asked to produce a limited version of the ‘Julie’ model. We built only 55 pieces.
This unique Julie is based on genuine wooden rims and comes in a deep oxidised red finish. Even the Brooks front basket was painted in the same colour.

The Julie is equipped with 3-speed Sturmey-Archer gears, combined with drum brakes and a hub dynamo.
Copper details can be found throughout the bicycle, including the Achielle head badge, the rivets on the numbered plate, and the Crane bell.
But the true eye-catcher is, of course, the Brooks saddle specially created for this bicycle. The B67s saddle features a fully copper-plated frame and copper rivets, while the leather Slender Grips are also finished with copper accents.

Finally, the frame carries a special badge referring to this limited edition and the 150th anniversary of Brooks England.
