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

LANDRACE Vita - elegant step-thru frame.

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.

The Art of Buying Once

The Siegfried and Vita have been designed to look beautiful but also to be utterly functional and reliable.
Siegfried & Vita epitomise the art of wisely buying once. We have long preached at Cyclefit that cheap bikes are a false economy - horrible to ride, expensive to maintain and almost certain to let us down.
In contrast, Vita & Siegfried are designed and built for the hard miles of commuting in all weathers. A handmade in England frame and fork, Gates carbon-belt drive is clean and virtually maintenance-free, disc-brakes and handbuilt wheels.

What our clients say

"The personal service from both Phil and Julian is second to none. They have such a wealth of experience in fitting that they can almost tell at a glance if something is just a little off. It felt as though it didn't matter how long it took to get the best position possible - even for an amateur cyclist like myself. Can't recommend them enough."

Susan

Cyclist
"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
"Thanks very much Phil. Did an 80 mile sportive yesterday on the road bike - perfect set up thanks; I've never been so comfortable, and no after effects! Cheers, Ian "

Ian T.

Time-Triallist (70+)
"I tried the shorter cranks today and I like them - it feels like it's less stress for the back and it seems easier to ride higher cadence. In the end I had a good Tour with no back problems. Thanks for your help!"

Bauke Mollema
"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.”"
