It’s not easy finding a frame builder to crank out a production run on bikes. Most builders are slammed, with full queues and lack the facilities to undertake even a small batch. But when Box Dog Bikes approached Eric at Winter about making six of their Pelican randonneur frames, he couldn’t resist. There’s a whole Winter Flickr set outlining the process and more information can be found at Box Dog Bikes. Regarding ordering, call the shop!

“On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month (11:00 am, 11 November, 1918) the armistice was enacted and the guns of World War I fell silent. The war was over.”
See the full story at Winter. This bike turned out so rad!
There are so many dialed-in road builds popping up these days but this is one of the most unique. Eric Estlund from Winter Bicycles sent his latest beauty over, as shot by Anthony Berano from Velo Cult. His road bike, dubbed the “Thin Iggy” can fit a 35c Resist Nomad, but has plenty of room for fenders with the 28c Nomad (shown, sans fenders). As a throwback, Eric put some compact rings on a pair of Cook Brothers cranks and a wild paint job. This is simply amazing. See the rest of Anthony’s great photographs here!
I’ve already established that Winter makes Beautiful Bicycles. This new video from Bespoked Bristol simply justifies that even more. It’s a shame they didn’t get video of him working. Maybe I should get my ass up to Portland again.
One of my favorite frames at NAHBS this year was Winter’s “arrow themed” road. As a follow up to that bike, Eric just emailed me his lastest out of the paint booth. A customer loved the NAHBS frame so much that he wanted one of his own. In Spanish, flecha translates to arrow and this thing looks like it’s ready to launch. Check out more at Winter.
At last year’s NAHBS, some of my favorite bikes came from the Winter Bicycles booth. So when Eric emailed me about Sam Ume’s track bike, I was a bit embarrassed that I haven’t featured more of his work here on the blog. With that said, head over to the Winter Blog to check out more!
Winter Bicycles took me by surprise today. I must have walked by their booth a dozen times before finally stopping to take a look at what they had to offer.

Dresden, Germany-based Sour Bicycles is updating its two popular hardtails, the Pasta Party and Crumble, for 2025. Let’s take a look at the updates in detail.
As previewed in our Bespoked 2024 coverage, Sour Bicycles has just announced the Space Cake All-Road model. Let’s check it out…
Amid our ongoing coverage of the Bespoked Dresden framebuilder and maker showcase, today we are featuring a very special bicycle made by Berlin-based Fern Bicycles equipped with Allygn racks and custom bags from Gramm Tourpacking. With design language referencing a late-1980s Toyota Pickup and mountain bikes of the same vintage, the build features both old and new elements with components from a long list of artisan fabricators like Cyber Cycles, Garbaruk, Tune, Velocity, SON, Gevenalle, Btchn’, and many more. We think this bike might be peak Fern. Continue reading below for the complete breakdown of this special Fern Bicycles Chuck gravel touring bike.
If you’re at Bespoked this weekend, make sure to swing by the Fern booth to check this out!
We’re in a seemingly new era of bicycle framebuilding with the proliferation of 3D-printed components. While this movement might feel “unprecedented,” a similar thing happened with framebuilders in the mid-1980s and into the 1990s with technology borrowed from the Beretta gun manufacturer in Italy.
In what has to be one of our most intriguing Vintage Bicycles articles to date, John hops on a phone call with Tom Ritchey to discuss a rare 1990 Eisentraut mountain bike that Tom had recently acquired and the technology that made it possible.
Peter Georgallou might be the last person ’round these parts you’d expect to test an all-mountain/enduro full-suspension mountain bike like the steel single-pivot SRD prototype from Sour Bicycles but that’s what makes his review so interesting. Continue reading below as Petor dives head-first and in-depth into a new-to-him world of riding in addition to a preview of some exciting things to come from our friends at Sour…
Winter Cutlery used to be Winter Bicycles but a few years ago, Eric transitioned into making knives full-time from custom bicycles. Yet, once a cyclist, always a cyclist, and Eric is offering up his famed Campagnolo knife called the Campag Cutter ($350) right now in a limited batch. Made from a Campagnolo headset wrench and bottom bracket spanner, these knives are formed and sharpened to fit in a custom-made sheath. It’s rare that Eric has these, so if you’re into this idea, act now at Winter Cutlery.

When we lost our 2015 image bucket back in 2018, it was a huge bummer, but over the past few months, I’ve been digging out hard drives and re-editing some photos, in the hopes of filling in the bigger holes. With this real winter we’ve been having, I’ve had a bit more free time to take a deep dive into the archives, and today, I’m sharing an iconic ‘cross bike from Low Bicycles, owned by Chas.

I should also note that my intent here is only to upload lost photos, keeping the text and formatting intact.
