My Budnitz.


Wyatt Earp

Recommended Posts

I have been on the hunt for a Budnitz for a few years now.

Few issues , they are costly, one has to import it yourself and they are custom built, so some serious money is required.

 

Sitting at work yesterday a box arrives, I see the Budnitz logo on the side, these bikes don't exist on our shores, so I am surprised.

Get the shipping details and see one of my friends names on there.

I call to tell him his bike has arrived, he tells me he did not order a bike for himself.

 

I mention I am confused, he says he ordered it for me, I must just put on the pedals and ride.

I cried, I won't lie.

He even got the exact colour I wanted :clap: :clap:

Fred you are a legend.

The build

Budnitz frame and fork, custom colour that adds $300 :o

 

The wheels are velocity Blunt Blunt, laced two cross on to White Industries Mi 6 hubs.

The drive system is Gates CDX.

The bars , stem ,headset spacers and post are all titanium.

Chris King Ti. headset custom made for Budnitz.

DaVinci 6061 hand made crank.

Paul 6061 hadn made brake levers.

Avid BB 7 brakes.

Brooks leather grips.

 

I changed the saddle to a Specialized Romin.

I was going to put hydraulic brakes on there, but the Paul levers are too awesome.

I added my Look S-track pedals.

 

 

Some more frame detail.
