THE BUILD — HOW A MODEL 01 HAPPENS

Six weeks. Three builders.
One frame.

Nothing sits in a warehouse, because there is no warehouse. There is a jig, a welding bench, and a waiting list.

01
WEEK 0

The fitting

Forty minutes in the workshop. We measure you, your kids and your routes — the school gate, the bridge, the cobbles by Assistens. Geometry is set to the millimetre and signed off before a single tube is cut.

02
WEEKS 1–2

The frame

Cromoly is cut, mitred and TIG-welded on the jig. Nothing is rushed: a head tube takes a full morning. Every frame is stamped with its serial number and the initials of the builder who welded it.

03
WEEK 3

The finish

Powder-coated in Vamdrup, in any RAL colour you can name. The box is built from Danish pine or anodised aluminium, sealed for Danish weather — which is to say, all of it.

04
WEEKS 4–6

The build-out

Drivetrain, brakes, wheels and lights, torqued to spec and safety-checked twice. You collect it, ride around the block, and we adjust everything until the bike disappears under you.

Every frame leaves with a signed build sheet, filed here in Nørrebro. Sell it in 2045, and the next owner can still call us.

It carries two kids and a week’s shopping and still makes me take the long way home. That was not the plan.

FAQ — THE QUESTIONS WE GET

Sensible questions.

How long is the wait?

Six to eight weeks from fitting. A €500 deposit books your slot in the jig; the balance is due when the bike passes its final check. We send photos from the weld bench along the way — most people ask us to stop, because it makes the wait worse.

Can I ride one first?

Please do. We keep demo bikes in every box and drivetrain combination, and the fitting starts with a lap around the block — through Assistens Kirkegård if the weather holds. Bring the kids and whatever you normally carry; that is the honest way to test a cargo bike.

What about service and repairs?

First service at 500 km is on us. After that: the belt needs no oil and lasts up to 30,000 km, and everything else is standard Shimano, Gates, Magura and SON — any good bike shop can service it. Or bring it back. We work on Thursdays, and the coffee is free.

Do you deliver outside Copenhagen?

Crated freight across the EU, €180–€340, fully insured. Or collect it in Nørrebro — we fit it, adjust it, and take you on a ride-out. Collection is where the good goodbye photos happen.

Is it really worth €4,000?

A Model 01 is built to outlive its second owner. Ten-year warranty on the frame, a drivetrain you never grease, and a resale value we track ourselves — the registry currently lists 2018 frames at 78% of new. Divided by twenty years of school runs, it is the cheapest thing you will own.

VÆRKSTED — VISIT

Come and see the jig.

Demos, fittings and repairs all happen in the room where the frames are welded. Six days a week — and nobody minds if you just look.
