A very special bike for a very special client made by a very special guy. I met Brian right around 2010 through the Far West Milano Cycling Club. I had a chance to cruise his work space (moth-balled prewar Bentley needs to be noted) , grind a blade (he also made knives), and jam with him on guitar surrounded by his endless collection of drum kits. These experiences left an impression on me that has led to The Bicycle Stand’s existence. This build was commissioned by one of the guys from the Far West Milano CC who introduced me to him. This build represents a full circle that started almost 20 years ago. Brian is truly the master of color and color combinations. No one has the vision Brian had when putting colors together. There are tighter paint jobs out there but Brian’s expression of color was second to none. Brian passed away in 2016, ten years ago. It all goes by so fast. 💨 The Bicycle Stand
