Kevin’s Yipsan Disc All Road

Custom frames, like their owners, are unique. Not to say non-custom bikes or their owners can’t be unique, but there’s a beauty in seeing a bike that’s made for someone’s special physical needs. In Kevin’s case, he’s got a short stature and short legs, making finding a stock bike difficult. Over the years, he’s made his options work, but it wasn’t until reaching out to YiPsan Bicycles that he experienced true bliss on a bicycle.

In 2013, he commissioned YiPsan to build a disc all road bike, capable of taking on the London Edinburgh London randonnée. This 1433km, five-day long event is the UK’s version of PBP and is no walk in the park. Kevin had long aspired to take on this ride and now that he had a brand new bike, he had no excuses. His YiPsan proved to be quite the ally on the ride and continues to take him all over the world, as evident in the wonderful amount of beausage found on this frame.
