Shaun specifically suggested we might like to feature his bike, and it's such a shiny Salsa Cycles, especially with the lovely new Brooks England tape!

It seems we've had a run of upright, chunky drop-bar bikes lately. They're so much fun for 'any road' adventuring, but still good for just getting around.

Shaun's got some sweet features on the Fargo - Salsa Cycles rack, KLite Dynamo systems headlight, Brooks England saddle, bags and cages galore!

Julian's Singular Cycles Gryphon is stunning! This new build is replacing an old faithful Peregrine that was unfortunately shot down by a car v. bicycle incident - Julian is okay, but let's *all* be careful out there.

A new frame was forced, but also reflects the change in Julian and his riding - a bit more relaxed and a bit more rowdy! We're just stoked to be able to help realise such a fitting replacement.

The list of cool and custom on this build is detailed and long, so look close and if anything catches your eye feel free to comment or get in touch!

Jemma's new Genesis Bikes Vagabond is a surprising capable steed - mounts for days, room for rowdy tyres, steel for strength and a ridiculously relaxed position for long days, or chill afternoons.

As always a bike is just a base, and we've designed in some function with some XC e*thirteen components tyres, bitey Burgtec pedals, and a tough Tubus rear rack.

Graham's Bombtrack Bicycle Co. - 'fresh' from a trip out east. This Beyond is a great example of a versatile bike, but also how much the little tweaks and custom bits change and indeed *make* a bike.

A comfy Ergon Bike seatpost, Restrap bag (wallet & keys... or just electrolytes & candy), big boy Teravail tyres, an upright SQlab stem and supportive saddle, 3 bottle cages 'cause it's hot out there folks.

These are things you notice riding this bike, not the specs on the product page, or the weight on the scale.

If you want to make your bike *yours*, are looking for something new, or to make something that just doesn't exist (yet...), get in touch.

Ellie's go-anywhere Bombtrack Bicycle Co. Beyond Plus needed a new rim, and she had some down time, so we took the opportunity to build a whole new dynamo wheel together! Then we hooked her up with a KLite Dynamo systems system for limitless light and USB power on the fly (with a custom 3D printed little mount, 'natch).

It's really satisfying helping someone build something with their own hands, and wheels - especially a dynamo - can really change what a bike can do. A bit of know how and some spare spokes don't hurt if you're ever far from anywhere either.

Get in touch if you want to make something, or if you're keen to see the light!

These new wheels are as special as they are shiny!

We buffed up Julians', venerable Hope Technology Ltd Pro 4 before lacing it and a SON Nabendynamo into a set of Velocity USA Blunt 35's.

Stay tuned for the complete build soon - it's gonna be a good one!

Kate's keeping her Trucker for the long haul! This classic Surly ditches the basic bar-end shifters for... err.. bar ends! The Goats at Gevenalle fancy these funky levers for cyclocross racing, but we think they're great for any simple steed and savvy steward.

The new Redshift Sports 'Top Shelf' bar brings things within easy reach, and their rubber top grips and really long bar tape keep it cushy for long afternoons / days / weeks in the saddle.

There's lots of good reasons to build wheels bespoke - sometimes we can achieve some balance of design elements that just isn't available 'out of the box'. Other times it's just not possible to buy something that fits at all!

Jono wanted a modern, matching wheelset for his older bike that takes two completely different wheels.

With some old / preloved hubs, new SUNringlé rims, and clever choice of Pillar Spoke we made a set that looks and feels like a pair, yet fits Jono's bike and needs.

Aia's Bridge Club *works* - The Official Intergalactic Surly Regional HQ have always made practical bikes and these steeds are a perfect blend of chunky commuter. tough tourer, and maybe even MTB(ish).

Always great to see bikes that get people around, and help keep them riding smooth. Simple, steel, sturdy - stoked.

Hit us up if you're chasing one less car, one more adventure, or even more (s)miles on your saddle.

The RitcheyLogic Ultra - another classic frame we can create custom builds with.

Tom Ritchey has been in bikes since the beginning of the modern *idea* of bikes, and his products are about as well made as mass-produced gets. Simple, sensible, sound designs.

If you want a bike that can be anything, we have options for that. If you want a frame to build into a really refined ride, talk to us about Tom Ritchey.
