I have just dropped the price from £685 to £550. This is what the paint alone cost me!

The frame and fork new would be around the £1800+ mark, it has hardly been ridden

My size, but just finished something similar. Very nice, looked at pictures of this build for ideas when I was shopping a couple of months back.

Which frame did you go with?

Thank you all for the bumps and kind words

Looked at this earlier today.

Had I not bought something on e-bay over breakfast, would have ripped your arm off. Might come and have a look anyway, as you are local to work.

In the meantime, have a bump.

Feel free to pop in to have a look, just let me know before you decide to come

Beautiful and precisely my size ):

Should I get her out and ready for your inspection?

SOLD ON THE 16/1

For sale is a Saffron Frameworks credit card/light tourer, designed for use with a Carradiace-style saddlebag support. It's one of my personal bikes. The frame has only done a couple of hundred miles which has resulted in a few minor cosmetic markets on the paint. Reason for selling is it is not really ridden and the money will be going towards more frame building equipment.

For sale is the frame and fork complete with a Campag headset. New price is £550, and i am selling it with a 10 year guarantee.

^Definitely.

That black singlespeed is gorgeous too.(Both of them actually!)

Incidentally, a minor point but the link to your twitter from the website doesn't work - found you pretty quickly though.

Thanks for the kind words on my work and for the heads up about the links.

Matthew, nice looking frames. Where do prices start for an 853 frame? (And in pure self interest, Talbot Frameworks came on here offering 853 frames starting at £853 to drum up interest and found a lot. As someone contemplating entering the market and who missed that, any chance of an LFGSS discount? It may be just the thing I need to nudge me over the line... their thread is here if you want to have a look -- > http://www.lfgss.com/thread105252.html )

You are welcome to drop me a line or pop in for a cup of tea to discuss a build.

Saffron Frameworks; Shit's Banana

No shitting of bananas in my workshop bud! there is just a fresh smell of metal

Oh my goodness, your shit is bananas. Ima save up for a 40th birthday treat.

Can feel hand carved 40th into a lug or BB shell for this!

Was wondering when you're going to make an appearance Matt, good to see you.

Thanks man! always found forums a bit strange but am giving it a shot

Hi Matt, welcome.

any open days if some of us wanted to swing by and be nosey? :)

Am possibly thinking of a open day for late September or October. You are welcome to pop in for a cup of tea before then for a nosey.

'severly cutting my ties' is a typo and a half!

Welcome to the forum Matt/Saffron. coolstorybro alert : I have a bike called Saffron Walden, as I like riding north east of London, the bike is yellow and orange inspired by the robes of buddhist monks, and like Thoreau, Walden is like a haven of simplicity for me. So, tldr: I like the name.

I'd really like to see your work up close some time.

Cool name! you are welcome to pop in to scrutinise my work

That pearl/black job has been a dream bike of mine since I first saw it...one day.

That was a cool build, Columbus Spirit tubes with a Carbon ISP. Super light, it came in around 1.3kg

http://http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/72645d1377856141-saffron_test.jpgHello....

I suppose I am just introducing myself and letting you know what I do. I build bespoke bicycle frames. This journey started in 2009 where I did some training as a welder. Then spent 2 years at Enigma Titanium making their custom steel and titanium frames. This is where I gained most of my skills or I should say gave me a good base to work from. After severley cutting my ties with Enigma I joined up with Feather cycles to put together a book called Made In England ~ the artisans behind the handbuilt bicycle.

Late last year I set up http://www.saffronframeworks.com where I have been making frames ever since.

I primarily build bespoke frames out of steel for any type of riding. http://www.saffronframeworks.com/builds/
I also do repairs, check out the pricelist if you need anything done
