The design gurus at Core 77 would like to introduce your sweetest ride yet. The Dutch Master bicycle is inspired by classic NYC messenger cruiser bikes, which makes sense, since the bike frames were manufactured in Bushwick. The Dutch Master just launched July 9, 2009 and has been stealing hearts ever since–it’s available for purchase in NYC or online.

If you’re looking for a new set of wheels, don’t sleep on this: the limited edition run of 25 bikes is sure to go fast!

The Dutch Master is made with some of the most durable and high-end components out there. The bike features indestructible parts, like stems and pedals from Brooklyn Machine Works, shock-absorbing cruiser tires, classic Brooks leather saddles, Dapper Dan grips, and a BMX crankset with front and rear drum brakes by Sturmey Archer. Plus, if you’re the designated driver, have no fear – the Dutch Master’s rear wheel features bike pegs to accommodate not only you, but also a friend in tow.

Some of the most lust-worthy aesthetics of the bike include the burnt-sienna leather handlebars and saddle, and the eye-catching off-white wheels.
