The MONZA is a chromium plated, pure-bred roadster equipped with the Sturmey Archer Duomatic 2-speed hub.

The ‘invisible’ Sturmey Archer Duomatic, preserves the pure and minimal aesthetics of our roadster, yet it offers a 2-speed gear hub operated with the ‘Kick Shift’ changer which dispenses with cables or wear issues.The typical characteristics of the handcrafted BELLA CIAO diamond frame has been maintained as with all our roadsters. The MONZA is handcrafted from Columbus Cromor tubing by our master frame builders in Northern Italy. This tube set is one of the thinnest and the most elegant Columbus has to offer being strong, lightweight and versatile – just as one would expect from a true classic.Its long wheelbase and compact center of gravity make this frame perfect for a lightweight roadster. Gliding through the city on an MONZA is a silent and razor-sharp cycling sensation.

As with all BELLA CIAO bikes the MONZA is extremely versatile. It is a fantastically elegant bike – yet with the precision of a sports tool.

The hand-polished BELLA CIAO Componenti Speciali CS2A alloy handlebars are manufactured in Germany fitted with a ITM NOS (New old stock) racing stem in wet black with a Tange Seiki polished headset. Pedals are MKS Stream.

The MONZA comes with the iconic Gilles Berthoud ‘Aspin’ leather saddle and matching leather bar tape.
