FAVORI Cycles by Ellis Briggs


Only the other day I got sent a picture of this lovely Ellis Briggs Favori, in chopper orange and black. This is still the original colour and the bike still has most of the original equipment. Obviously the Arizona climate is much kinder to bicycles than the UK's.

For those who don't know. Favori was a brand we invented in the late 60's to combat the increasingly popular Italian frames. It was a very successful idea for us which we have now been using for 40 odd years. We find our customers to be alot less fashion concious now and instead more interested in having a high quality hand crafted bicycle, built to their requirements. Mind you we are not in the fashion concious racing scene anymore.
