Exclusive Classic Vintage Steel Touring Bicycle
Pilen GTV features front and rear Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and 11 derailleur or 11 hubbed gears. The new GTV frame is built with double-butted tubing in chrome-moly steel and heat-treated after welding for added strength and resilience. The GTV has rear vertical dropouts (hence its name GTV: Grand Tourer Vertical) which is required for disc brakes. The frame fittings and mounts for derailleur, bottle and wiring are brazed. The strong Pilen wheels are built with extra strong stainless spokes, stainless eyelets, double walled rims and Schwalbe Marathon Racer.
The Pilen GTV comes in two main variants with regard to rear hub and gear solution. The luxurious and maintenance-free Shimano Alfine 11 built-in gears. And the more racing inspired Shimano SLX 10 gears with derailleur. Both models have hydraulic disc brakes front and at the rear.
Shimano Alfine 11 is a high-grade hub built for finesse, versatility, and effortless operation with 11 smooth shifting gears. The hub shields the geared interior from the environment for low maintenance and carefree use. Fitted with Shimano M615 disc brake.
Pilen GTV with Shimano SLX 10 features a 11 gear cassette sprocket with a wide range of gearings and a smoothly working SLX derailleur shifter. External gears requires some basic periodic maintenance to keep it working perfectly.
The Pilen GTV has a new both stonger and lighter frame built with double-butted chromoly tubings 4130 and has brazed on fittings and bottle mounts.
Shimano front hub DH-3D37-QR for disc brake with internal generator which powers the head light with 6V 3W.
Front hub Shimano Deore for disc brake. No in-built generator. The bike is fitted with a battery head light.
Tange modell LN-7922 with fully CNC machined Cr-Mo hollow axle with shielded quality bearings and alloy body. Exquisite performance and maintenance-free.
Lightweight and strong duraluminum alloy construction. Heat-treated Cr-Mo ball races. Super Stone Polish on every ball races.
The GTV is fitted with stylish Suzu Alloy bell from Japanese Crane Bells. Beautiful workmanship with alloy bell, brass nut and spring lever.
Ergonomic grips Herrmans Primergo DD14 with cork and pleasant extra support for your palms during long enjoyable rides.

The bicycles are built at a lean production line that the Pilen folks built entirely on their own – a line that is subject to constant improvement.
