See you have the 650c Paselas in 26 and 28, 26 is the max the Isen 650c takes right?

No, the max tyre size it will take is 26", in will easily take 650c x 28, thats what all of the demo bikes were running.

cool thanks

Loads of room with 28's.

Great tips, thanks!

the footprints are kind of cool

@coldharbour what’s the best way of getting in touch about getting one of the mudguard mounted light holders?

like the new font and branding

Yeah, althought the first one was very impressive as caren hand drew it 72 hours before bespoked started, but it just wasn't 'tuff enuf' so ended up on the cutting room floor.

Seemed like such a good idea. ....Til i found it was a 34.9 not a 28.6. Stll got that frame, and the fucking mech clamp.

Is it a 52?

If it didn't have a ridic headtube and it wasn't the cost of a small car/mortgage deposit/pony I may have been interested

No. M/L (tall) whatever that means in Parlee talk.

My size, not hers. Ta

It used to belong to TV's famous Matt Barbett to boot.
That sort of b grade celebrity pedigree has to be woth at least an extra £1ok.

Who?

Ok ok, an extra £9k.

He's a nice guy.

@coldharbour more dildos in the wild!

Theres a lot of isens in blue door at the moment. I apologise if collection of your frame isn't totally clear, there is a finite amount of space in carens workshop for finishing so they are going out now! Or they are totes nearly ready but not in the van yet give us a break the vans small and there's load of bikes.. If you're in doubt email us and we'll let you know where your frame is, but it is either ready or very nearly ready.

These look lovely! Nice job 👌 Kinda glad I missed the pre-sale, definitely don't have the room

Quick update. We have had a bit of a staffing crisis, Verity has left us (very amicably but at very short notice) and it turns out that although her systems were great, we don't know what we are doing with them. If you have emailed and not received anything back I'm really sorry, we have someone new starting Thursday, and are trying to respond to emails as well, but also trying to get all the bikes that haven't gone out prepped or finished their paint.

I am acutely aware that I don't want us to become the new Pelizzoli, and if anyone has any issues dm me and I'll give you my mobile number and you can shout at me. One of the main reasons we could build this many bikes in this time scale was that we had someone who's sole job it was admin, and at the moment we don't have that.
