Been waiting for this… after seeing them showcase at Sea Otter, I’m intrigued, I think this is the way to go… people are tired of the big brands, plus you getting something interesting and unique vs a click drop and ride bike. Custom is becoming a real thing now days, so many boutiques doing amazing stuff. A lot of talented folks doing it for the love and passion of Biking.
I've got an idea I'd be willing to sell to this guy. An anual subscription where you send your custom bike back once a year, for a respray, of the accent colour. On a more serious note, I love this guy's ethos. If I were in the market for an expensive bike, custom would be my first port of call.
Beautiful looking frames and interesting process. Its entirely personal aesthetic preference, but I’m not into the stem and seat tube having same colour as frame but it certainly speaks bespoke and custom.
Super Video, very interesting story. Recently ordered a Colnago, but there will be a new Gravel in one year, will have a look at these frames, just wonderful.❤
interesting to see that the bottom bracket area isn't as massive as most mainstream manufacturers build their CF frames. I wonder what the engineering/design philosophy is behind that decision.
There frames are not really lightweight If you want stiffness while being light you go big bb area There production method does not allow really light frames so it seems they didn’t pushed it to much
Very good/ interesting video Dave👍🏻 ! But how about the rear and chain stays? Do they make them , or buy them"raw"(something i imagine is hard to do since they are tapered!) ?
If say they don’t say total cost as paint and design would have a big impact. I would be that if contacted they would provide a price range that a bike would land in. I just got a custom steel bike and after 100 odd emails I can see how they wouldn’t want to nail down a price.
@@AidanDuff-ut9rm Cheers Aidan. I wasn't implying anything dodgy on your part, just the uncertainty of knowing what the final cost was likely to be. Seems like a good price for a totally custom solution if one were in the market for that. If I had that sort of dosh to lay out on a bike I would certainly be considering one. Love the round tube "traditional" look.
with composites you already worry about the resin failing you, now these goofs want to glue carbon tubes together like if its metal. these goofs are oceangate of the bike world.

Excellent episode. Thanks for sharing that such beautiful crafts and people exist

That EVH paintjob tho...
Bike art.

Super interesting stuff here!
The same process of manufacture used by a small band of Italian builders.

I love the Van Halen paint job on those forks & frame 😍🤟🏻😎👍🏻 0:10 & 2:44

Nice idea! In fact, on reflection, I'm kinda surprised it's not been done before.
Cheers
Refreshing!
Its a masterpiece
Awesome! 👍😎
Can they make a custom fixed gear?
I have a particular set of skills. I will look for you. I will find you. I will build you a bespoke bike.
850g is pretty good for something not "lightweight".
Looks a lot like my hand made Parlee Z-Zero.
Very interesting. Just been to the website and they specify the deposit at £3250 but no total cost that I could find. That seems a bit iffy.

Our Bad, Price is £6,500. its a 50% deposit. Custom Geo & Paint included in that.

Beautiful frames. If only I’d the pennies. Although I’d be thinking - but that mainstream bike is faster and more aero….
Theyre building bikes as if they were metal frames. GIVE ME THE MONOCOQUE
Monocoque is expensive for small company. It also can't be custom made.
"Sustainable way"? YOURE BUILDING CARBON FIBRE BIKES!
with composites you already worry about the resin failing you, now these goofs want to glue carbon tubes together like if its metal. these goofs are oceangate of the bike world.
Glued like a Festka , not sure whi copied who ???
Its made by Time.
Time frames are not made like this.
