The ARKIPELAGO strips cycling down to its purest form: one gear, immediate response, total control. With fewer parts and no distractions, every movement matters — the frame becomes a direct extension of the rider.
Our singelspeed / fixed gear steel frameset are inspired by velodrome racing and street culture. Engineered with a sharp balance of strength and lightness makes it quick, responsive and durable, a joyride. This is our take on what an urban bike should feel like today - stray from the “lagom” way!

less is more
The ARKIPELAGO strips cycling down to its purest form: one gear, immediate response, total control. With fewer parts and no distractions, every movement matters — the bike becomes a direct extension of the rider. Built for the rhythm of the city, it favors sharp acceleration, reliability, and a clean design where form follows function. Less technology, easier to maintain, more intention — where skill, commitment, and feel are the real upgrades.
stray from the "lagom" way
The Arkipelago features a geometry inspired velodrome racing and street culture. The modern twist we've given this timeless frame with steep seat and steer tubes and a high bottom bracket makes it rapid, responsive and durable. It’s our take on what a city bike should feel like — straying from the “lagom” way.
with raw shine
Arkipelago features a chrome-plated finish — a thin layer of chrome that gives the frame a high-gloss, mirror-like surface with built-in rust protection.
The frameset is a tribute to the landscape that characterizes the city where our journey began—Stockholm.
