Bottom line

The Laventino Ranger takes the classic ‘Dutch Town Bike’ style and applies it to an aluminum frame. It’s widely available with a 3-speed internal hub, but also exists in 7 and 8 speed guises with Nexus internal hubs. Wide 50c tires and a large, sturdy front rack make this bike well suited to commuting and city errands. Somewhat surprisingly, however, owners said that the Selle Royal saddle and relaxed geometry made this a comfortable rig on 30 and 45 mile rides. One owner said it was not only good for daily commutes but also for trips to the beach. In few instances, screws were missing and small scratches were present after shipping. All-in-all, it was seen as a durable and affordable option for a utilitarian cruiser.
