Andrew’s 12-speed Di2 disc most-road bike is ready to roll out the door! I would not call it an all-road bike as it is set up, but take those fenders and 32mm tires off and throw on some 38mm knobbies and now we’re talking! Versatility! This one is staying local to me so I hope […]
Jonathan’s bike is the commuter I would make for myself if I were making myself a commuter. The two-tiered rear rack and handlebar front rack make it perfect for some light touring as well. The Campagnolo Record Ti 10-speed group is just as dreamy as I remember.
So I built myself a new bike! It’s in the style of an allroad touring bike but with fenders. Tires are 650×48. Weighs in at 25lbs with racks/lights/fenders. I painted it the same color as our tandem (turf green) so this trailer I built would possibly get some more use. Side note: I finished the […]
There are a lot of details on Kelly‘s bike that I would like to share here but the full set pf photos will be on my Flickr page. It was really difficult to capture this blue in the photos. It is vivid but it doesn’t jump out at you. The metallic is just subtle enough […]
It was my son’s birthday in February and we got to give him a new bike! This small frame 20” BMX style bike is a size upgrade from his 12”/14” wheeled bike. It’ll take a minute for him to get used to the the wheel size, crank length (135mm), and hand brake. Hope he gets […]
This 650b touring/randonneur bike is ready to be boxed up and shipped! Finally! This is the last of the bikes from the Philly Bike Expo to leave the shop. After this, it’s back to framebuilding videos! I very rarely do the up-jutting style of threadless stem but when it isn’t a quill, and I need […]
Melissa’s dark red 650b road bike with fenders was the sleeper hit in my booth this past weekend at the Philadelphia Bike Expo. Sporting (mostly) modern black components, this bike requires closer inspection to see all the details. The long point Prugnat lugs were designed for a level top tube so there was a little […]
I’m really excited about this bike as it (like the track frameset in a previous post) challenged me in several new ways. The steering lock, locking lever mod, and removable (yet secure) basket for his small dog kept the gears turning in my mind. It did take me longer but I think it was worth […]
It is very rare that I get to make an actual track bike. It’s even more rare that I agree to build just a frameset (and stem)! I was already building a bike for Stan but he wanted a track frameset as well. I thought it would be easy because there are no braze-ons or […]
Vivek’s 650b Rinko randonneur
February 21, 2024
Vivek’s metallic burgundy and black 650b rinko randonneur is ready to roll! Lots of anodizing and powdercoating of components in this one to get that balance of burgundy, black, and silver. I had the opportunity to test ride it a few miles over the past couple days and the SRAM Force AXS shifting is smooth! […]
