Bicycles Asked by ukemi on May 15, 2021
Does anyone recognise this model of bike? It has some stickers/decals with fictional logos, but I couldn’t find any brands/marks on the bike itself (more images):
Note: The fox tail and paint can are from a ‘fox hunt’ game/race in the film. See here.
Details original Bike used in the Tomb Raider movie 2018: SE Bikes Tripel, Saddle Books Champion Standard B17, Vera Citywide tire - SE Bikes logo on the front of the frame - handle grips purple - red pedal - Rear tire is possibly Kenda K-152. Kenda road tire in yellow.

Parts identified:
3 or 8 speed Shimano Internally Geared Hub in rear wheel, connected to Shimano revoshift shifter on the right hand.
Brooks saddle based on the badge on the back.
"Citiwide" brand front tyre (can't find this brand mentioned on the web)
Dual pivot rim brakes - They look curiously solid and thick. Noted its a right-hand front-brake set up, because Lara Croft is English and these scenes are set in London where RHF is standard.
Old-school Axle Nuts, not a QR on the front wheel. This suggests an older bike or one used where stealing parts is possible.
Unknown accessories:
Rear parcel rack - assume its to do with being a fast-food delivery courier.
Why the paint can? Looks like a home-made pannier? No it's part of the plot.
Why the fox tail? It is not visible enough to be like a chopper-flag. No it's also part of the plot.
Why the yellow tyre? Film Make her stand out from the background a bit more, help the audience identify her on screen easier.
I don't think it's a specific brand - it's a prop made up from various parts, and decorated with stickers. No See R.Chung's answer.

I can assume that the bike was made specifically for the movie and you can not buy it for yourself. For most films, exclusive things are done.

From Reddit:
2016ish SE Bikes Tripel.
Vera CityWide are Fuji eom tires, not sure that's the same?
Why the yellow tyre?
Im pretty sure thats a trainer specific tire like this
Looks like a fairly basic steel frame with 3-speed nexus hub. Pretty common for a lot of retailers to stock a bike like this, without a logo on the frame its hard work to say which exactly but they are all pretty much the same. For example a Reid harrier 3-speed
