"Siegried & Vita epitomise the art of buying wisely"

LANDRACE Siegfried & Vita

Siegfried & Vita are rooted in Bloomsbury (named after Siegfried Sassoon and Vita Sackville-West) and exclusively available at Cyclefit Store Street.

LANDRACE is Cyclefit's own brand, dedicated to making beautifully functional bicycles in very small quantities, that exemplify
The art of buying wisely:

  • An absolute focus on quality
  • The bike is built of to a standard and not down to a price
  • The bike must be conceived to be resilient in the long-term to your daily miles
  • Test-ride, test-ride! The only way of determining if it is the bike for you - ride the bike as you intend to use it

Timeless Quality

Vita & Siegfried are handmade using Reynolds 631 custom-drawn steel in Cambridge, by a talented gentlemen called Paul at ARCC.

Steel is a wonderful material because it combines longevity, comfort and lightweight. It is also still the safest and most reliable material to build a bicycle from.

What our clients say

  • "A great service, full of personal touches as well as the "harder" scientific analysis of my position on the bike, which was also excellent. I feel more planted on the bike now, and came away with some really useful feedback from the session."

    Ed H

    London Dynamo Rider

  • "Hey Julian and Phil, I hope you are both well. I just completed a 21 hour week on my new 165mm cranks and I am in love. They feel so so great! Thank you for all your help. I’ve never felt so comfortable on my bike before. All the best, Hannah"

    Hannah Barnes

    National Champion / Professional Bike Rider

  • "Honestly these are great (custom orthotics). My feet feel totally balanced and stable and I‘m not searching for the pedal when I want to push it. They’ve made a massive difference.”"

    Tom Pidcock

    Olympic MTB Gold Medallist

  • "A highly personalized and very friendly service, giving good advice and adjustments that are helpful whatever level of cyclist you are."

    MJ

    Cyclist

  • "I'm new to cycling so needed some support on finding a bike that would be right for me. Julian couldn't have been kinder or more supportive, he took time to find out what I wanted from my cycling and then looked closely at my physical structure to ensure that the bike is a comfortable fit for me. It really is a 5 star service and far exceeded my expectations."
