Custom Bicycles
In my opinion anyone who rides in the rain should have a dedicated fender (mudguard) bike! For Alex s build the brief was for a performance road bike to be ridden in all weather. The frame has some aero features including an ovalised seatmast, aero downtube, dropped seatstays and full internal routing. A carbon headtube insert [ ]
Matt was looking to tweak his position a little, and requested a bike that would excel for both climbing and descending. The frame design and tubing selection was chosen to provide the right level of stiffness, whilst accommodating fully internal hose routing and clearance for 35mm tires. Part of the goal was to keep the [ ]
Ron s design worked out to provide his required fit and still fit into an airline-checkable case using the Folding Road Concept system. The Rolf Prima wheelset is light and aero, and the paired spokes work great for having more room when packing. The carbon Allied fork mates to the frame via a custom headset/headtube combo. [ ]
Jonathan asked me to build him a lightweight, responsive road bike for general riding but with an emphasis on climbing. The frame tubing was carefully selected to provide a good balance of stiffness and comfort for long rides, with an oversize headtube and T47 BB to allow for fully internal brake hose routing using the [ ]
I built John a road bike a while back this time around he asked for a similar fitting and riding bike, but with larger tires (40mm), full fenders. Oh, and an electric assist .. The other ask was to have everything completely integrated, so with this build that meant the motor controller fitted into the [ ]
Tony was looking for a gravel bike for bikepacking, with flexible luggage options. The curved toptube opens up the main triangle to allow for a bigger framebag, and there are internally brazed bosses for cleanly mounting one. A custom stainless steel front rack supports the handlebar bag and includes a mount for the Exposure light. [ ]
Tim s road bike features an integrated seatmast, which uses a tube that was custom externally butted to tune for saddle compliance and weight. An adjustable cap secures the saddle. Built up with 30mm tires on the Enve/Chris King wheelset, the frame and Whisky fork will clear a 35 too. There is internal routing for the [ ]
Ryan was thinking about a mile-eating bike along the lines of my TransAm build, but with a bit of added capability for gravel too. It took a little while to figure out the best option for the cockpit Ryan settled on the Black Inc integrated bar/stem, that has slots for quick and easy mounting [ ]
Spring cleaning time, and this bike could use a good home! This was built as a prototype and show bike for Shimano, and was used to launch their GRX Ltd groupset at the 2022 Unbound expo. And, sad to say, it has never been ridden Built to fit me, at 5 9 and 145lbs. The frameset [ ]
Sam asked me to build him a gravel bike to fill in the gap between his road and mountain bikes. We kept things simple with a 1x XPLR drivetrain, with the addition of a dropper seatpost and clearance for 50mm tires (shown with 45s) to take the bike right up to the point where it [ ]
