[FRAME] Chapter Five from FLWRIDER tv on Vimeo.

The Flwrider team is back at it with the fifth episode of their [FRAME] series. This time they sat down with Jan Kile of Colossi, a custom frame builder located in Asia.

Check out more information on Colissi below.

Jan Kole, who is originally from one of the epicenters of the cycling world, Holland, founded Colossi in 2005 to help bring custom hand made bikes to all. Primarily made in steel, but his workshop also has experience that handles aluminum. Jan himself is an ex-pro road cyclist, is no stranger to frame building, making custom frames since 1982 and has extensive experience in the cycling industry having worked in it for over 2 decades.

We had a tour of Jan’s workshop and had a chance to sit down and to ask him about how Colossi came about, the love of cycling and steel and his current and future projects.

Thanks to Jan, Livia, Sander and everyone at Colossi for their hospitality.
