14 Bike Co / 14 Bike Company / Shop Fourteen

Do you know who is making the frames Seb? Just Ted or are there other makers on board?
I may sell some bits (bikes) and get a custom dealio for the Summer.
Like the idea of a strong fillet brazed frame which fits me.
Any details?

They're made by a guy called Lee Cooper in Coventry who has worked for a lot of well known bike manufacturers over the years... His speciality is fillet brazing and lugwork

Best thing to do is go to the shop and talk to them...

saw some of the fames yesterday really nice, slick welds, nice paint jobs all in all very nice frames, im was thinking the same prov new nice shiny frame for the summer :)
and the shop is a good space too and lots of new shiny bits!

The pics on the FGL Flickr are quite porny.

do we have the link somewhere, sir?

I want to go to the shop and talk to them!!!!
Bloody job.

I like this - though you have to admit it has more than a touch of BMW to it

Ra ra raa blah blah blah.

His specialisation is cheap jeanswear and shoes.

mmmm.

its mainly the pierced top tube, the top tube is less sloped than the bmw, also its still a prototype, they are making changes to it

Can anyone tell me why BMW and that^^ have that section of top tube that carries on past the seat tube hanging over the cluster? Is it just a look?

How much are those 14 frames again?

Gary Turner will probably tell you it is stronger. As he was quite into it on his BMXes.

Or Maybe BMW are GT fans?

Gorgeous frames. Really nice fillet brazing and really good finishing, both the actual paint and the colours. Bike porn aplenty.

My one issue is that all the frames they are selling will come with threadless headsets/Ahead stems. I know this is because the range of ahead stems and compatable forks is so much better than threaded/quill, but I still think steel forks can only look good with a smooth silver quill stem in them. My 2p, nothing more...

Go careful there, I upset a couple of people a few days back making the same comment about quill stems! I thought I had said something like Hitler was a great bloke from the reaction it got :-)

Quill stems are only used by holocaust deniers.

As a Jew...I can only say, that this is true.

Presumably the French are converting to A-head?
