Though the brand is vintage, the Li126 is a thoroughly modern bicycle. We have used the latest developments in bike technology and design to create a beautifully honed and high-performing ‘city cruiser’ bike. I’m delighted to announce that Fisher Outdoor plans further ranges of the Lambretta Bicicletta, and will announce further details in Spring 2010.”
