Today, we’re continuing our MADE Bike Show Australia coverage with a selection of stunning machines, ranging from road to mountain and everything in between. Read on for selects from Palmer, Prova, Simpatico, Skingrowsback, Squid, Stinner, Stridsland, Wondercross, and Woods…
If you’re working on a vintage MTB conversion into a basket bike, commuter bike, or touring bike, and want to go with a 1x drivetrain, you’ll be shocked to find that there aren’t many options for vintage crank bolt center diameters. Stridsland took that as impetus to make some!
Following up on the epic Stridsland Beachcomber Origin Story Matias penned for us earlier this month, pre-orders for Beachcomber framesets in both steel and titanium are going live on the Stridsland site Thursday, February 1, at 16:00 CET (07:00 PST).
Matias sent through some fresh photos of his Ti Beachcomber with the custom-sized partial Wit Slingers frame bags he’s offering with the framesets and DANG does it look good.
Come along as we take a leisurely dive into the origin story of the 26+ Stridsland Beachcomber frame. Matias Stridsland has built a following around reviving old 26″ bikes and not taking things too seriously, but now he’s here to present his own 90s-inspired 26″ MTB.
Matias is self-admittedly addicted to the details and his chronicling of the process behind the Beachcomber gives real insight into the dedication that goes into these short-run projects. As he writes, this exact bike didn’t exist before and now it does—we think that’s pretty rad and if you’re interested in owning one, read to the bottom for pre-order details!

Matias Stridsland is really into old 26″ bikes, so much so that he’s developing a line of products to keep these bikes and their period correct parts on the roads and trails.
Dropping today are these chainrings for 94 bcd 5-bolt cranks, in 36, 38, and 40 tooth count and five colors. There’s also a Ti top cap, chainring bolt sets, self-extracting crank bolts, and “Ride Slow, Die Whenever” stickers in today’s drop.
Follow along on Stridsland’s Instagram if you love old bikes like this, and keep an eye out for the zitted-up Barnacle fork and aptly-named Anchor bar later this year.
