14.01.2022 Details. Little touches. The sum of all the parts. A labour of love.
13.01.2022 Bringing classic back. With a modern twist. Thank you Peter! This is a bike that can tell some tales. COVID-19 has affected every stage of its build. From the weekend Peter flew over from Perth to visit us and have his bike fit as well as go to the F1 Grand Prix... we all know what happened there. To the week it was ready to be assembled and Melbourne going into Stage 4 lockdown. Numerous little things have happened since then, but it is ready! And it looks damn fine if you ...ask me. So many little touches. Literally the chain, cassette, hubs and bearings are the only parts that haven’t been customised in some way. Massive thanks to our Melbourne Village of bikesmiths @riderfitcc @velo_craft @busymanbicycles @curvecycling and @shifterbikes for helping to bring it together. A bike that Melbourne built and COVID couldn’t stop.
11.01.2022 For the ultimate enthusiast. Leatherwork by Busyman. Always a pleasure when a customer selects this option.
11.01.2022 TEXTURE. Design is more than just form and function. Good design also makes you want to reach out and touch it. Run your fingers over its curves and surfaces. To feel its texture. Texture forms an integral part of our Design DNA. It is something we often talk about during development. Yet I believe we are just at the beginning of our exploration. ... This build is a perfect example. The customer encouraged us to leave the lugs RAW and we were super excited as it is something we have often talked about and wanted to do. The result is beautiful in a brutal industrial sense. And it is so different to other bikes. It draws your eyes in closer, makes you two finger zoom on your phone, entices you to reach out and touch it in person. So thank you Ketil and TSC Oslo for allowing us to explore!
05.01.2022 The details before the full reveal. Dragging this one out. Because well... We haven’t been able to manufacture for 6 weeks due to the lockdown here in Melbourne. Only assemble bikes that were already finished. This is the last of them. So no new bike pictures for a couple more weeks when the lockdown should hopefully lift. ... Although we will likely share some images from around the world. Till then...
