brindle cycles

Off the bench this season.

Six bikes that left the yard recently, described the way we would describe them to another builder.

Light tourer for a tall rider

64 cm, lugged, oversize down tube. Racks front and rear, dynamo lighting. 11.8 kg bare.

9 weeks

1978 road bike, full restoration

Original paint saved under clear coat, new headset and bottom bracket, period brake levers.

5 weeks

All-weather commuter

Fillet-brazed, hub gears, full mudguards, belt-ready dropout. Painted slate grey.

8 weeks

Gravel frame, small size

48 cm with 650B wheels so the geometry stays honest. Clearance for 47 mm tyres.

10 weeks

Touring wheelset

36 spokes, double-wall rims, sealed hubs. Built for a loaded trip across two mountain ranges.

6 days

Twin lateral tubes, upright bars, a basket mount brazed to the fork crown.
