Stelbel

Ever since I realized Stelbel has returned creating steel frames under new ownership I am browsing their site for bike porn... have a look for yourself:

Any of you tried the new Stelbel frames? I definitely want one ! Also, seems they still sell old material built up:

Ummm... those chainstays...

Patch kit storage with the lowest center of gravity possible?

You could fit a pump in there too.

A track pump.

I know a dude who has one. Sings it’s praises big time.

@JB thanks a lot, that helps. I just liked to know how it rides compared to a carbone frame. @slothy @Scilly.Suffolk yeah yeah I betted on those comments ;) id use the space for storing a spare bike to use if the chain stays on the Stelbel fail ;) still like the overall look

In fact, he might have ridden more bikes than anyone I know. He said: 'Sometimes bikes just feel 'right' this is one of those. Can't wait to take it across a variety of countries over the next 3 weeks.'

I'm getting one at some point.

They look the fucking nuts.

Your bikes!? Wow! I like those a lot. In fact, I like to see a lot more of your modern and classic Stelbel bikes in this thread people!

What group does he use on the bike?

Lolz.

All super domestique builds.

Not mine unfortunately, found them on Weightweenies. @Zed I agree that the builds lack a bit of imagination but they're solid nonetheless.

these forks

and these dropouts

I watch that, too, but think this has been restored a bit too much, or what do you think?

it's lovely, but it's not €1,500 lovely

stelbel frames are great, but the popularity has increased the prices

As happens with most niche consumer goods. There was a time you could get a renolds 853 talbot for £853.

They’re good and they’re rare, so obvious why they are not cheap

Prices are not ridiculous for custom though.

Got a bit excited about one of these:

Nice, but very expensive.
