Recommended Posts

This bike I made for my now wife which I took to Bespoked Bristol show in 2011, ( it was T.I.G welded which is not my favourite, but a long story to say the least)

Okay last one......

 

She got a nice write up on Singletrack.co.uk

Having worked for Enigma must surely give you a huge boost in the general public's/potential buyers view.

 

Did you spray the bike yourself and if so it was really well done .... love the red pinstripe detailing.

 

So the most important question, and try to be unbiased here :) .... does your wife love the ride of the bike?

I was very fortunate to work at Enigma under the guidance of Mark Reilly and to be surrounded by some fantastic colleagues, I do not wish for my business model to be perceived as theirs. I know that it is a bit cryptic but lets leave it at that!

 

All the painting was out sourced, I am really to keen to bring this in house as it will make or brake the success of a frame.

 

She loves the frame or should I say that is what she tells me. I can see that she feel a lot more confidant on it when it comes to riding single tracks. I reckon I got the Geometry spot on for her. I did quite a lot of playing around with the trail which has given her confidence which her steering.

I built this frame with a Henry James BB, Richard Sachs lugs and the tubing Reynolds 953

 

Finished off the bloody polishing!
