There are a lot of details on Kelly‘s bike that I would like to share here but Instagram limits me to 10 photos. I’ll be putting all the photos on my Flickr momentarily (link in bio). It was really difficult to capture this blue in the photos. It is vivid but it doesn’t jump out […]
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. And the Campagnolo Record Ti 10-speed group is just as dreamy as I remember.
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 […]
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 use. Side note: I finished the tandem/trailer […]
It was my son’s 6th birthday today 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 to get used to the the wheel size, crank length (135mm), and hand brake. Hope he gets to take […]
I’m excited that this one will be headed to Montréal! It has been a long time coming as many bikes are these days. Setbacks came in the form of acquiring parts (surprise) and issues at the chrome plater. Everything worked out though. This one has my latest cantilever brake geometry which has a little more […]
I finally got the tiny rack back from the chrome plater for this one. The basket is bolted on and this 8-speed mixte is ready for fun! A very light (by my standards at 21lbs) 650b mixte commuter/city bike. This bike is much too small for me but I still had a blast test riding […]
Mark’s 650b light touring bike has no fenders (*gasp!*) but the accommodations are there if he changes his mind. This one was designed as a light touring/all road bike but also has the ability to travel Rinko style. Detachable low riders, slotted cable stops, dropout protectors, Rinko friendly straddle cable hangers, high chain hanger, etc. […]
I was able to get out before dark yesterday to take some photos of this champagne gold and chrome bike with robin egg blue lining. It is very shiny. It’s a special bike in the sense that I made the racks, brakes, crank arms, stem, etc. on it. I don’t usually make everything like that […]
Stephen’s 650b randonneur
September 19, 2023
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 […]
