My wife is Swedish and we were in Sweden for Christmas in 2005. She mentioned in conversation once how she would like a Skeppshult bike at our home just outside of Melbourne. I thought of buying her one for Christmas and just send it back to Melbourne. However it was actually very expensive to "just" send it back so I thought I'll buy a similar styled bicycle in Australia.

Of course there is a great deal of choice in mountain bikes and road racing bikes but we were soon to find out that there is basically no choice for a premium commuter bike like Skeppshult makes in Australia. Yes, there are a lots of hybrids available but even those are orientated towards somebody who wants to exercise. There is nothing wrong with exercise but what about if you want to ride something with a bit more style that you can easily jump on and off with a low instep?
