If there’s even the remotest opportunity that you could get to the Lee Valley Velodrome, London (home of the London 2012 Olympic track cycling) this weekend for the Bespoked UK Handmade Bicycle Show, seize it. You’ll be stunned.

Where should we start? There are about 150 brands here and pretty much every one of them has some fantastic products on show. Honestly, we could write dozens of stories from this place thanks to the amazing level of design and craftsmanship.

Sadly, all we have time for here is the (almost insultingly) briefest of tasters to whet your appetite.

Check out this road bike from Saffron (main pic). It’s built to a racing geometry from filet-brazed Columbus Spirit tubing and it’s been named Darling. The fork is Columbus Grammy and it has built up with a Shimano Dura-Ace groupset, Reynolds 46 Aero wheels, and the stem, handlebar and seatpost come from 3T.

Saffron haven’t gone with a normal seatpost clamp, instead opting for a bolt between the seatstays.

That quote on the top tube says, “It doesn’t get any easier, you just go faster.”

Who said that? A point for everyone who said 'Greg LeMond'.

Eventually I became the project mangaer of the Lotus bicycle frame - yes the bike that Chris Boardaman rode to the current world 1 hour record in 96 of 56.375km in an hour! 

 

I remember seeing this bike on a program as a small child (Tekkies if I am not wrong).  Was to drool for.  Till this day it is the measure in my eyes of a bicycle.  And stil today, it is one of the best looking bikes for the small child in me...

 

To the OP, best looking bikes I have seen in a very long time.  Well done and hope that your brand will take off and beat the mass produced scraps out there.  A hand made bike will always always be a dream to me.  My folks has a tandem that was built for them in 1997 and it is still one of the best tandems out there (in my eyes)

 

So keep up the good work sir!
