We were involved in the Award Winning Tall Bike film Frankenbiking last year since when it has won a number of awards. It is now included in the Cyclist Film Festival that is showing across the UK in Jan and Feb 2025 together with a great set of other independent and award winning films. The programme is over two hours long so if you want to see and support some independent bike films check their website for your nearest showing https://www.cyclistfilmfestival.co.uk
Racks are one of the nice accessories to produce for a bike, as it creates a level of personalisation for the intended use of the rider. If it’s made bespoke for the frame it doesn’t need adjusters and can be honed down to a simple and effective form. We’ve done a few this way recently but this is the reason they cannot be mass produced. They do provide an extra special something as part of a bespoke build or give something old some extra sauce.
Lewis has returned with a lovely old fluro green 3 Rensho frame. The paint was really faded and it needed a couple of repairs for a cracked seat tube and bridge. It was also in need of an appropriate fork so we decided to build a new one with unicrown straight legs. All covered in a fresh coat of green and the decals he had sourced.
It barely got above freezing on the day so we were both happy to huddle round the flame!
It’s always work in progress but the basics are here and we will start adding posts and more info. These will cover current and previous work and hopefully, eventually, include an online shop. Checkout through the menu above.
