nick's track frame

nick dropped by today to pick up his new columbus spirit track frame, nick and i were both super happy with the outcome. it was my first time building a frame with an integrated headtube and definitely won't be the last. it is amazing how an integrated headtube can instantly modernize a frame. satin black with a super bright pearl green graphic made for a punchy but classy finish.

it was definitely a fun one to put together, it must have taken us an hour to get the bb tight with the phil logo showing through the triangle detail. i actually had to make a tool from a bit of tube as the logo just kept turning, we were seconds away from giving up and we got it nailed. super stoked!!!

autumn sale!!!

autumn has suddenly crept up on us, it made me realise its about time we start thinking about wrapping up. so i want to get rid of the small amount of tees that are left over and make some room for some slightly warmer feather attire! all the tees that are left in stock are at the bargain price of £12 including postage.

grab one here!

dadit's sepeda

here we have dadit's track frame. this one should be with dadit in jakarta any day now, if not already. built from reynolds 631, with a bar and stem combo built using nitto b123's. i have never been too keen on black and white bikes but this one definitely turned out looking sweet. i was even sent the regular chris king headset rather than the black on black which i think was definitely meant to be!

it is a pleasure to have sent one of my bikes to the far east!! hopefully the first of many.

craig's track frame

i have been raving on twitter recently about my new painter's jon and tom, hopefully craig's track frame shows you what i am getting at. finding a good painter, who has the same high standards and passion that you have as builder is not an easy task, it has taken me well over 2 years to finally find someone i can rely on to get the job done right! i could not be happier with the way things are progressing in the finishing department and i think the hard work, dedication, time, set backs, patience and the odd disappointment have really paid off! to put the icing on the cake every last bit of finishing is now done right here in york!

enough of that, here is craig's track frame, built using columbus spirit for lugs with a regular sized down tube for the top tube (craig is a tall dude)! paired with a life oversized rear end and lowered wishbone for a stiff rear end. mix that with some ridiculously nice chrome by my new platers and flawless paint and masking and you have the latest frame to leave the workshop. It also just occurred to me just how english this bike looks with the old raleigh colours! AWESOME!

Also a quick reminder that you can still buy feather cycles t-shirts here.
