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.
Check out a slideshow from my coverage of the 2011 NAHBS Winter Bicycles booth below!

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.
We’d like to think we’re pretty alright at photographing bikes over here at The Radavist. The steeds we choose to document reflect our audience’s preferences and capture distinct trends in bicycle design. Yet, each year as we reflect on all the builds that have rolled through this cyber showroom, we’re always surprised to see what the Top Ten list reveals. This year, we’ve got a good mix of bikes, outfitted with flat and droopy bars, running rubber across the size spectrum, and made of steel, aluminum and yes, even carbon. Let’s get to it!
We’re back today with Josh’s second installment of coverage from the Bespoked Handmade Bicycle Show! Let’s jump right in below with more recapping and a gallery of beautiful builds from Prova Cycles, Clandestine, Black Sheep Bikes, Etoile Cycles, Dawley Bikes, Avalanche Cycles, Coal Bikes with Black Cat Custom Paint, Fahrradbau Stolz, and Sour Bicycles…

I hope your winter break was refreshing and that you got some miles in over the Holidaze. We’re back in 2022 with the first of our 2021 year-end recaps, beginning with everyone’s favorite: the Top 10 Beautiful Bicycles of 2021. Like years prior, I compiled this list by traffic, comments, and social media/backlink chatter, also omitting bikes from Open House/Expo style showcases. There are some real gems in here, so let’s get to it!
