Kev Benky represents them here. Alternatively you could go for local bespoke build with Mercer and your customer would have a bike for life.  53 minutes ago, MORNE said: https://benky-rides.com/products/copy-of-curve-kevin-of-steel-the-go-anywhere-do-anything-gravel-bike?variant=40516199547048  don't forget the curves, from the man himself. He hasn't brought new stock over in ages, so there isn't much available (depending on your size). It's a pity, as they are great bikes.

Just bought a Curve Kevin Ti. Can’t wait until it arrives. Kevin is really great to deal with. splat, Prince Albert Cycles and MORNE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betaboy Posted April 16 Share If there is no budget, and you can splash, checkout UK London builder called Howler! Frames are around 2000quid, but these are super bespoke builds that use good tubing. With todays technology on steel and high grade frame building, there is no bad steel, most use a basic 4130 cro moly steel (Reynolds 520) as an example. Steel can be recycled, carbon is a landfill killer and the process to actually make carbon is way off any environmental scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kilogram of carbon fibre is not going to shift the needle on the planet dying or living, but have fun recycling your steel frame when you do it. If you're going bespoke money no object UK frame build, support a Saffa (assuming you can wait long enough) https://www.saffronframeworks.com/ordering/ splat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
