Yours? Where's it made? Looks like a funny mixture of modern and old-fashioned components.

It's a Dutch bike, made by Azor. I got it at Clever Cycles in Portland.

LOVE this bike, and the Swan one too. :) (I found your blog while googling them).

Where did you get that cute blue helmet? I want one that's not going to look ridiculous with such a classy, vintage-y bike.

Hi Amy --
I love my Oma. It's so comfortable to ride and I never have to worry about my clothing being destroyed.

The helmet is a Nutcase which is made here in Portland. They run about $35 in stores (I have a couple of them, and they were all purchased at Portland bike stores). The blue helmet is a Tattoo Twist. I also have a Star Brite and one that was made for a biking event

Thanks! I just checked them out and will definitely order one of those. I should've known it would be a Portland company; you guys have all the good stuff!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called PDX (Portland) Work Bikes, Cargo Cycles, and Commuter Bicycles, and, if you live in Portland, Oregon, we'd love to have this and your other commuter bike photos added to the group!
