The Crescendo
This popular Batavus model is available in a gent's frame in 48cm, ideal for smaller gents who find the other frame models which begin in size 53cm to be too large.
The Crescendo range of bicycles have always been extremely popular in Holland and also here in the UK.
Crescendo sells well to a variety of cyclists including those looking for an extremely comfortable, no-nonsense Dutch bike for use as a general round around to those looking to cover greater distances and mileage.
One of our Directors has ridden his Crescendo all over the UK including taking it on a number of cycling holiday trips to hilly areas including the Isle of Wight and Isle of Purbeck. He also uses it as a general run around in the Littlehampton area.

The trailer acts like a trailer tent and carries our tent, sleeping bags, box of wine, four pillows, and everything needed to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable.
Batavus Crescendo travelling along the new seafront cycle route - where we went from Christchurch to Sandbanks at Poole. A terrific off-road promenade cycle ride that's well worth exploring. With this picture you can see the nice, comfy upright ride that Crescendo gives. And with the clever inbuilt handlebar adjuster - when faced with headwinds you can change the handlebar position from bolt upright to anywhere between upright and drop-handlebars.
