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!

In the first installment of a four-part series looking Inside / Out of the BESPOKED SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship winners, our European correspondent Petor Georgallou joins Significant Other Bikes of Denver, Colorado.

Petor recently took a gonzo-style roadtrip through North America to visit four framebuilders who were awarded SRAM’s Inclusivity Scholarship to attend Bespoked in Dresden, Germany, last October.

Take a peek behind the walls in a special Inside / Out look at Ashley King and her company Significant Other Bikes.

Read on below for Josh’s favorites…

Showcased in our Bespoked coverage this year, Parsec Designs, a brand that originally launched in 2018 with an all-road bike, has re-launched with a line of cargo cages and cargo bags. Shown here are the “pickup” bags ($48) and the “Frank” cage ($60), an homage to Frank Lloyd Wright wheat grain motifs found throughout his stained glass windows in his mid-century homes and buildings. Parsec has dozens of fun designs and styles, so roll on over to Parsec Designs to check them out.

Let’s take a closer look below…
