The Radavist

Bespoked brings us yet another UK framebuilder profile with Saffron Frameworks. I particularly like this series because it gives you an inside look into the minds of custom frame builders and when it comes to UK companies, I rarely get that glimpse.

For this episode of Bespoked’ Meet the Maker, we get a look inside Shand Cycles‘ shop in Scotland.

The team at Headset Press have offered up a substantial gallery from Bespoked Bristol, the framebuilder’s showcase in the UK. Head over to the Headset Press for tons of photos.

Bespoked, the UK framebuilder’s show, recently interviewed Trevor Jarvis, a builder who’s known for his signature model, the Flying Gate…

Here’s a video recap of the 2014 Bespoked. It’s great to see some familiar faces in there and I’m so stoked that Winter won best track bike!

Bespoked Bristol has a great interview up with Czech framebuilders Festka. This brand has been on my mind a lot lately. Their entire package is kicking serious ass. Everything is dialed: from razzle-inspired paint, to their studio photography and how sick is that Lizard rigid MTB?

See what makes Festka tick at Bespoked Bristol and remember, Cycleast in Austin is the US-importer for the brand.

Bespoked continues their builder profiles with Reynolds!

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.

I have been enjoying these interviews that Bespoked Bristol has been putting out. This one features Demon Frameworks, who made some great frames for NAHBS last year. Such a great head badge and logo, I might add.

Bespoked Bristol is working on a series of frame builder profiles called Meet the Maker. The first episode is profiling Robin Mather.

Gavin from Spinwell was at the 2011 Bristol Bespoked show and he took some lovely photographs of the many offerings by the local framebuilders. Head over to Gavin’s Flickr for more!
