New city, new company, new project
I’ve been working as a framebuilder for hire the past few years, taking me from London to Scotland and onwards to Berlin. Since being here I’ve been riding the track a lot and have had an itch to build a new track frame for myself.
The idea for the project is oversized everything, smooth edges, aero tubing. Some cool construction details without getting too fancy. It will be fillet brazed and the mitres will be mostly hand cut.
The geometry and handling characteristics will be similar to my other bikes so as to give me a clearer idea of the difference the tubing profiles make to the ride.
I’m riding at the Berlin 6 day in a few weeks, however a broken rib has meant I can’t train so instead I decided to spend the time after hours building a bike. I won’t be fast but at least I’ll have a sweet new bike.
