Wendy's Rando

This was actually the first of my last few builds but it just turned out so awesome that i thought i would save it for the last of my recent few posts. it's my first road bike, the first with any canti bosses and my first geared bike with all the braze-ons you will need and internal cable routing, it also has a custom fillet brazed quill stem that i also built. every last bit of this bike turned out sweet, the chrome is spot on and mark really hit the spot with the paint giving it a real classy metallic finish. give me road bikes to build any day, this was really a pleasure and a fun bike to build and i couldn't be happier with the outcome!

keep your eyes peeled on my flickr for more recent builds which i didn't manage to get good photos of...

right i'm off to make a fillet brazed stem for another recent bike, have a good bank holiday...

custom chrome plated fillet brazed stem

tear drop stay caps and internal cable routing

thought a matching colour top cap would be a nice touch

26 inch

the second installment is josh kupsch' 26 inch. this bike turned out awesome! pacenti artisan lugs, paragon machine works rear dropouts with derailleur hanger and bottle opener, internal cable routing, rear brake bosses tucked out of the way underneath the stays, it also has a 1" to 1 1\8" converter i made for a wider choice in clamp on stems, it's basically everything josh wanted. perfect for his trip to europe this summer for a mix of polo and long distance rides.

spring time!

with summer almost upon us things have heated up in the workshop of late. over the next few days i will be updating with the latest bikes to leave the shop and be ridden away by happy cyclists. the first installment is Danny Clancy's fixed gear.

huge thanks to mark for the sweet paint job and kayti for the studio shots too!!!

the stripes replicate a kinfolk frame that danny had spotted and liked

the new alternate headbadge brought in through customer demand, many options are available with this choice, you will see over the coming weeks.

freestyle time

this is the first fixed freestyle frame out of the workshop, custom built for jammy, its made of a mish mash of materials from reynolds, columbus, dedacciai, silva, paragon machine works and custom feather hand cut fork dropouts cut perfectly to fit around the beefy spacers of a g-sport front hub.

glass bead blasted and a powdercoat matte laquer by mark make for the wonderful finish on this frame.

massive thanks again to kayti for taking the photos and there will be more shots to come on my flickr later!

good to hang out yesterday jammy, see ya soon!

reinforced cnc machined headtube braze-ons...

a length of 725 headtube works nicely as a beefy wishbone!

a happy customer...
