About Quella Bicycle

Written by the company

We believe that the fixed-gear single-speed bike market is full of well-known brands selling uninspired, low-quality bikes at extortionate prices. Having been keen cyclists for all of our lives we think you deserve better.

Fixies exist at the unique intersection of thoroughbred track racing and urban fashion. Quella was created to encompass the best of both. We combine vintage inspired, minimalist British design and 21st Century track technology to create elegant, timeless bikes that function at the top end of the fixie market and, importantly, don’t break the bank.

Since our launch Quella has evolved into a company with big brand capability and small brand personality, with customer service at the forefront of all we do. Our bikes are hand-built in our ‘Old Egg Shed’ on the outskirts of Cambridge by our experienced team of bike-builders, allowing you almost limitless freedom in the builds that we can undertake.

Why you buy Quella

You buy Quella because you want a bike that looks good in the city; one that has clean lines and the timeless style you associate with all that steel and chrome. You probably already know what a “fixie” is and would definitely describe Quella bikes as “roadsters”. You won’t get a fancy branded groupset or convenient quick release levers. It’s therefore not the most practical choice for people who can’t do very basic maintenance. You do get their signature eye-catching deep section wheels which add to the overall sturdy feel - because “only steel is real”. Only two things will survive a nuclear war; cockroaches and steel bikes. I hope they know how to ride.

I would say the brand compares favourably on cost with other brands with a similar aesthetic like Pelago and Pashley. They can do this because the quality of the fixings and finishing components isn’t quite the same. The good news is, because you are the sort of rider who can ‘tinker’, you can use the money saved to get the upgrades you want and make your Quella unique. I love mine all the more because of the time I spent acquiring just the right bits and pieces to finish ‘her’ off.

First Class Customer Service A********

I recently purchased a bicycle online from Quella, and the experience was absolutely fantastic—thanks in large part to Jess, whose outstanding customer service made all the difference.

Shopping for a bike online can feel overwhelming, but Jess was incredibly helpful from start to finish. She took the time to answer all of my questions in detail, offered thoughtful recommendations based on my riding needs, and made sure I felt confident in my choice. Her friendly and professional attitude turned what could have been a stressful decision into an enjoyable and easy process.

The bike arrived quickly, perfectly packaged, and exactly as described. That level of care and attention to detail throughout the process is rare and truly appreciated.

I can't recommend Quella enough! Jess went above and beyond, and because of her, I’ll definitely be returning for future purchases.

Thank you again to Jess and the team at Quella for turning the bike round in such a short timescale!!!

It was a journey, but I'm happy I took it.

The quality of the bike itself is amazing. I cannot be more happy with it. The customer service as well was really good. Back to me as soon as they could and even though we had a couple of issues with the order they were ready to provide assistance and compensate for it. But all in all, I could not ask for a better bike.

Great Service and great looking bike

Bought through the cycle to work scheme .Very Quick Service . Bike ordered and delivered within 2 days . I took the advice to get a bike mechanic to set the bike up which he did with no issues.
I have the Stealth Mk3 and live 5 miles from a city with country roads and a few small climbs .
I wanted a bike that would need little maintenance and this seemed ideal.
Ridden in to work today and bike feel great

Package arrived badly damaged

Package arrived badly damaged. Had clearly been opened and patched up... the wheel inside was damaged.

Had to arrange a replacement.
The Quella customer service seemed helpful - but remains to be seen if it actually translates into a successful outcome.
