Showcasing the creativity and beauty of handmade bicycles Over 100 of the world’s best bicycle framebuilders and cycle goods designers will be making their way to Bristol this April for a weekend dedicated to celebrating the world of handmade bikes. Bespoked, The UK Handmade Bicycle Show, one of the highlights of the British cycling calendar, is taking place from 7th to 9th April at Brunel’s Old Station, next door to Bristol Temple Meads train station. The show is a collection of the world’s most desirable and unique handmade bikes and cycling goods from framebuilders and designers across the globe. Many of the framebuilders choose Bespoked to unveil their creations for the first time, or launch a new range of bikes they’ve been secretly working on. At Bespoked the majority of the bikes on show will have been commissioned by individuals, and are the result of a partnership between customer and maker. This year the legendary Rob English of English Cycles will be coming over from Oregon, US with his striking road bikes. Household names Brian Rourke and Campagnolo will be making a return to the show after a
short hiatus, as will the young and talented Ricky Feather of Feathers Cycles. Dorset-based Sven Cycles will be unveiling the new range of touring and town bikes they have been working on all year. The beauty of Bespoked is that you get to meet and talk to the artisans who made the bikes on show. Builders are on-hand to discuss your dream bike, and turn it into a reality (bank-balance permitting). Or perhaps you dream of one day building your own bike. If that’s the case, go and talk to one of the UK’s many top framebuilding schools at the show. As well as the extraordinary bikes and accessories, there is an interesting program of talks and films over the weekend from framebuilders, industry bods, authors and cycling legends (last year Keith Bontrager made an appearance). And cycle café Look Mum No Hands will be venturing out of the Big Smoke to serve up good strong coffee and ale. Head over to bespoked.cc to see who’s exhibiting this year. Tickets are available from bespoked.cc or on the door. Show dates and times: Friday 7th April - 2pm - 7pm Saturday 8th April - 9.30am - 6pm Sunday 9th April - 10am - 4.30pm Tickets - £15 day / £25 3 Day Weekend
Marketplace WORDS
Poppy Smith
The place to buy handmade cycling goods People come to Bespoked to eye up future dream bikes, but rarely leave with anything other than ideas, a T-shirt and a smile. This time you’ll be able to buy something made by an artisan at the new Bespoked Marketplace. For the first time, Bespoked will have an area where you can buy bicycle accessories and clothing from carefully selected makers like Howies, Findra, Vel-Oh and Purple Patch. Findra make exceptional cycling clothing for women in a beautiful palette of colours, using Italian sports merino wool. Vel-Oh handcraft good-looking urban commuter bags from British Millerain waxed cotton and leather. Their collection includes backpacks, musettes, a large duffle and a tiny saddle bag. Also in the bag arena is Bristol’s Purple Patch Workshop who make waxed cotton accessories in small batches in Bristol. They will be bringing their tool rolls and new roll top pannier bags. Not to be missed, Howies will be there with a mix of tech bike kit, base layers and last in the box. And they will be doing a special Bespoked show offer on their great kit.

Sven Cycles launch their first range of bikes Sven Cycles in Weymouth, Dorset make beautiful, classically inspired but very modern town and touring bikes. Every year at the Bespoked handmade bicycle show awards they sweep the floor. So fans will be pleased to hear that this April, at Bespoked, Sven Cycles will be launching their first range of ‘off-the-peg’ bicycles - a more affordable and speedy alternative to commissioning one of their custom builds. The bikes in the range will be based on the most popular models of bespoke builds they’ve made in the last five years, all built with Reynolds tubing and painted and assembled in their Weymouth workshop. The Roadster (from £1500) is the newest version of the first bike they built back in 2012, designed as a nimble yet secure bike for riding in modern congested cities or for light off road use. This 650B wheeled, disc braked, hub geared, upright town and country bike comes with various upgrade options like a Dynamo powered light and mudguards. There’s also the choice of a diamond or step-through frame (pictured right). The Wayfarer (from £2000) is a modern version of the traditional British tourer. It has faster geometry than the Roadster so it’s perfect for commuters looking for a fast, reliable bike or those that prefer a racier riding position.
The Pathfinder (from £2800) is the crowning jewel of the range. A stainless steel modern adventure touring bike for on and off road use, it features a low trail fork for load carrying over the front wheel and a British made Hope wheelset, and has plenty of upgrade options including S&S couplings. Each bike will be built to order in their Weymouth workshop and delivery time is only a month from when you place your order. Quite a difference from a custom build. Towards the end of this year Sven will have mens and ladies Roadsters available in electric assist as well, using the Shimano Steps system. Sven have also been working on a cycling jacket with British cloth manufacturer, Grenfell, the first company to patent and manufacture a technical fabric back in the 1920s. They are re-releasing a modern version of the so called ‘Golfer’ jacket Grenfell supplied to the CTC in the 1950s. The jacket will be a smart, classic commuting or daily riding jacket with reflective detail. They will, of course, be still making bespoke, custom built bikes. If you can’t get to Bespoked, the new range will be launched at B1866, the Brooks store in Covent Garden, London from the 28th April and then on to Brixton Cycles. svencycles.com
Besmirched WORDS
Pi Manson
Bespoked gets a fringe Back in 2015, a group of friends from the Broken Spoke Bike Co-op pedalled up to Bristol to visit Bespoked, The UK Handmade Bicycle Show. We had an amazing time, but we were all clear on one thing: we knew there was another side to cycling. It became increasingly apparent to those of us working with bikes outside of this high fashion, high money world, that we needed to show the public this other side of cycling. That there may just be a counterpoint to the meticulously made, the artisan, to the multiple thousand pound art bikes for riding around in Lycra. And that it is just as awesome. For 2017, we are going to show that other side of cycling. Besmirched will be hosted this April by Roll for the Soul, Bristol’s not-for-profit community bike cafe. With amazing vegetarian and vegan food, a bike workshop upstairs, cakes and coffee to make Tullio Campagnolo weep with joy - there couldn’t be a better place. Besmirched will be taking over the cafe for the whole weekend. Filled with members of the UK’s diverse cycling co-operatives and community groups, we will host a panel discussion on racing in cycling, talks on re-storying a Bike Shaped Object into a custom bike, about why we fix bikes, and what it’s like to fix bikes for refugees in Calais. There will be DIY wheel building workshops, bike games and freak bike how-to’s. There will be bands playing, and coffee and cake. There will be some of the cheapest, worst bikes you’ve ever seen, with the most amazing stories behind them. Bikes that liberate refugees to move freely. There will be pedal powered cinema. Most of all, Besmirched will show that there’s a huge amount of our cycling world that costs nothing, but still gleams like a fresh fillet braze.

Carry Everything WORDS
Poppy Smith
Restrap launch new products Restrap started life in a back bedroom six years ago originally making pedal straps for bicycles. They outgrew the bedroom fairly quickly and are now based in a large workshop on the outskirts of Leeds, a closeknit team of outdoor enthusiasts who design, develop and sew all their products by hand. The range has grown considerably since the early days and Restrap now have a full collection of well-designed, robust bike packing equipment and cycling accessories which the team extensively prototyped and tested before releasing. Last year they launched their #Carryeverything range of bike packing equipment. The saddle bag holster made from 1000D military-grade cordura and capable of carrying a 14 litre dry bag was the piece de resistance, accompanied by the bar bag holster and a frame bag in three sizes. But they felt they were missing some vital components: a top tube bag and stem bag. They developed the concepts for these last year but wanted a good six months to test them to destruction before releasing them onto the market. The top tube bag (ÂŁ29.99) is made from waterproof cordura nylon with an easy glide waterproof zip and an adjustable strap allowing the bag to be used near the stem or the seat post. The stem bag (ÂŁ29.99) has a paracord drawstring closure for access on the go and will fit any bike. Both will be available to buy from early March and will, of course, be handmade in Yorkshire. restrap.co.uk

Bespoked Buyer’s Guide WORDS
Poppy Smith
Want a custom bike but don’t know where to start? Here’s our guide to commissioning your first build. 1. Choose a framebuilder
PHOTO Ollie Hammick
A good starting point would be to go along to a show like Bespoked – The UK Handmade Bicycle Show where you can meet lots of framebuilders and see their work first-hand. If you can’t get to the show details of all the exhibitors are on the Bespoked website, along with photos of their work. Choose a builder whose work you like the look of and make sure that he or she has the experience of building the type of bike you want. As the process of building a custom bike is a collaboration between customer and builder it’s important that you get along well with the builder. Get to know the builders and the decision will become much easier.
2. Decide what type of cycling you’ll be doing
Findra
It may sound obvious, but having a clear idea of the type of cycling you’ll be using your new bike for will really help the builder create a bike that’s perfect for you and your riding style. You don’t need to have a deep understanding of bicycle design but you do need to think about how you want to ride a bike now and in the future. The builder will then help you understand how that translates into more technical choices of tubes and specification.
3. Determine a budget
PHOTO Tina Buescher
It’s good to have an idea of how much you want to spend before approaching a builder. Take a look at different builders’ websites to get an idea of how much frames and full builds cost in different materials. Various factors determine the cost like the choice of tubing, lugs or fillet brazing, the number of braze-ons, choice of paint and, if you are having a full build, the components. A good framebuilder will try and work to your budget, as long as it is realistic.

4. The process – what to expect Initial discussion - When you’ve decided on a builder, you will have an initial discussion either at their workshop, via Skype or on the phone, so the builder can get a better understanding of you and what you are going to use the bike for. You will then start to discuss tubing and other technical choices to determine what will work and why. If you are having a full build rather than just a frameset, you will start talking about component choices at this point.
PHOTO Trask Bedortha
Quote – After the discussion the builder will then be able to send you a quote and when this is agreed they will ask for a deposit to secure your place in the queue. A builder’s waiting list can be anything from a few months to a year, or even two depending on how in-demand they are. The size of the deposit depends on the builder but expect to pay up to 50% of the total cost up-front.
Fitting – Some framebuilders offer a bike-fit as part of the service, others will recommend where to go to get one. This ensures the bike is made to exactly fit you and your riding position. Building – Good things come to those who wait, and this couldn’t be more true than with bespoke bikes. Wait patiently, your builder will contact you when you have reached the top of the queue and the build is about to start. Wait patiently while your bike is built. Some builders are very communicative during the build process, others are too busy building your bike to email you updates.
Paint and assembly - You will speak about paint and component choices when the time comes. How involved your choice of paint-work is will determine how long it will take to be painted. Some builders paint the bikes in-house, some send them off to specialist painters. After paint, the builder will assemble your bike with your chosen components. Balance and delivery – When the bike is ready it’s time to pay the remaining balance. The bike will then be ready for collection or will be delivered to you. Then all that remains is for you to take your first ride on your custom built bike!

Transcontinental No.4 WORDS
Poppy Smith
When you’re racing 3800km unsupported across five countries, climbing the highest passes in the Alps, averaging three hours sleep a night and the rest in the saddle, every day for two weeks, you need to know your bike is the best bike for the job and the best fit for you. Which is why a growing proportion of competitors in one of the toughest ultra-endurance races in the world choose to go bespoke. Here are three champions of the handmade bicycle who made it to the finish line.
George Marshall What position did you finish? As my partner scratched on day 3, I was classed as an assisted finisher and therefore not included in placings, however I was 51st person to roll in. How long did it take you? 13 days 22 hours What was your bike and set up? I raced it on a custom made Donhou, made from Columbus XCR, hand made in Hackney London by the talented Tom Donhou. PHOTO George Marshall / Red Bull Content Pool
How did riding a custom geometry handmade bike help? When you’re riding 15+ hours a day for 14 days straight its essential the bike is the perfect fit and fast. Highs and lows? Highs – waking up at 5am high up in the Swiss alps and seeing the sun rise hit the Eiger mountain. Lows – my close friend and partner scratching on the third day with an ankle injury. Would you do it again? Yes – I have a place and will do it again on my Donhou as it was faultless last time.
Rob Quirk of Quirk Cycles
How long did it take you? 14 days 15 hours 4 minutes What was your bike and set up? Quirk Cycles All Road, made from Columbus HSS Steel with a carbon fork.

What position did you finish? 49th.
What position did you finish? 41st (1st woman) How long did it take you? 13 days, 10 hours, 28 minutes What was your bike and set up? Shand Stooshie (steel frame, carbon fork)
How did riding a custom geometry handmade bike help? The bike was designed for this race from the start and it never let me down. I worked closely with Tony from Torke Cycling to get the perfect fit, which paid dividends as I averaged 265km a day.
How did riding a custom geometry handmade bike help? It was made to my exact specifications, which helped to eliminate problems like back pain and numb hands, which can plague long-distance cyclists.
Highs and lows? Everyday was filled with both and often the biggest highs came straight after the deepest lows. Getting drenched in the Dolomites was particularly demoralising. Holed up in a hotel drying off and with 50km to go and the San Pellegrino Pass to climb I was coming to terms with not making the third checkpoint. But I rallied and made the cut. I was overjoyed.
Highs and lows? The whole thing was a bit of a high. The low point was discovering I was the only rider who’d routed herself through Albania (considerably increasing the distance I had to ride), but I managed to make it work. Would you do it again? I can’t wait...
Would you do it again? Yes, I have been accepted onto this years race. Hopefully my experience will pay off!

Tough love WORDS
Tay Noronha
As a gunshot crack echoed around the Downland Cycles workshop, my dad and I jumped back out of reflex. My heart pounding in my ears, I asked, “Is it…. broken?” There was a heart-stopping moment as he stopped the mitring machine and stepped in to inspect the damage. He shook his head. “Nope.” He turned the shank around to reveal a broken tooth on the hole-saw. I inwardly groaned. My 953 steel down-tube had claimed another victim. It all started from a conversation which took place at Bespoked 2016. Well, technically, it started from a bet involving a nasty little climb in Switzerland. I won myself a 953 bike by making it to the top. News of this bet reached the ears of Julie and Bryan Jackson of Downland Cycles, who suggested at the show I go one step further and build the bike myself by taking part in an eight-day course at their base in Canterbury. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I accepted, as did my dad. We both opted to build in 953, despite the fact neither of us had ever built a bike before. What could possibly go wrong? Fast forward to November 2016 and Bryan places a range of tubes in front of us. Good quality steel, Reynolds 631, and then 853. We test out hand files on each and try to make a dent. There is increasing resistance, but it is manageable. Then, 953. I struggle and sweat trying to make a tiny indent. I suddenly realise I have taken on a slightly bigger challenge than I thought. We start with mitring. Given that the material we are using is also used for armour plating, the machine does most of the work, but it needs lots of coolant, a certain speed and smoothness with the feed-rate, or else teeth break off the hole-saw. Each tube must be cut to the exact length and correct angle to fit, which leads to a lot of furrowed brows and rushing back and forth across the
12
workshop with a protractor. The brazing is where things really get testing. I silently thank my lucky stars Bryan is gifted with unending patience as he repeatedly guides the brazing hot torch away from the fragile chain-stays and back on to the joint I am meant to be sticking together. My fillet brazes are not pretty, but they will hold the frame together once I get on the road, which is the most important thing. As my frame slowly takes shape, albeit with much more silver braze wire run-off than I have seen on any of the bikes on show at Bespoked, my dad falls behind due to a very special head-tube… or lack of, as it does not arrive until the middle of Day 4. When a delivery van rolls up as we clamber back down a steep, rocky path on our way back from a lunchtime walk, his relief is palpable and he rushes to the workshop to start sizing up his frame. He pulls several late evenings, filing away after yet another excellent meal from Julie, fuelled by Victoria sponge and big plans for his bike. And the final product? The joints are far from professional and I have a new-found respect for the seamless frames on show at Bespoked. But my frame has personality, from the lump on the back of the BB shell where some silver braze went astray, to the off-centre bottle bosses, and upside-down seat-stay. I have not touched a hacksaw since I was at school, but thanks to Downland Cycles, I have made myself a usable bike frame, and I have learned several new skills in a short space of time – although, that said, I think I may leave brazing 953 to the experts for now. As for my dad’s bike, with that very special head-tube? Watch this space. Bespoked 2017.

Hand Drawn WORDS

An interview with custom paint artist Tim Cox How did your award-winning collaboration with Engineered Bikes come about? I was initially approached by Engineered a few years ago as they wanted paintwork for their fledgling enterprise. I had already painted many bikes, usually restorations of retro mountain bikes, for which there seems to be a huge following, so to be involved with a small scale manufacturer was a superb opportunity. We quickly established an excellent relationship as we had a common interest in cycling and a desire to constantly strive to produce work of an exceptional standard. It’s really important to me that my clients are putting in as much effort as I do - it’s the only way to guarantee a high level of satisfaction for the end customer. Engineered have very specific requirements when it comes to the colour schemes for their bikes, designs are usually worked out in minute detail with the customer, so it was amazing to be asked to do a collaboration as a showcase piece at Bespoked and to have complete carte blanc as far as the paint was concerned. What’s the inspiration behind the design? I instantly knew what I wanted to achieve, taking inspiration from the Low Brow art movement, tattoo designs and from the hot rod culture. I specifically asked Engineered to build something with as much surface area as possible so we ended up with a frame made of massive tubing, kind of over-the-top, which is exactly what hot rods are all about! Green is my favourite colour, therefore an easy decision,
Graeme’s CX bike started with a conversation at Bespoked 2016. He wanted a focused race bike: lightweight, with modern handling characteristics and a no compromise approach. Collaboratively, we designed and built a unique 7.8kg weapon
using a scandium-alloy mainframe & carbon integrated seat post. Thru-axles, flat mount brakes, custom designed dropouts and a unique, head turning paint finish round off a thoroughly individual bespoke build.

and the fade to blue seemed like a good idea as I wanted to do the Engineered corporate branding in white which works really well with all the other colours. How did you do it and were there any particularly challenging bits? Ever start a job and wish you never had?! Well this was one of those jobs! It quickly became apparent that the look I had in mind was going to take a lot longer than I previously thought, and I didn’t have that much time. Bespoked was a mere four days away! The base colour of white was applied after the usual tidying up of welds etc. and primer layers. I then began the painstaking task of hand painting all the detail and designs with a brush - painting a collection of tubes in this way was definitely a challenge to say the least and I still had forks, stem and stem cap to do. Eventually the artwork was applied to my satisfaction and I could start to apply colour. Candy green and blue were sprayed alternatively to build up a gradual fade from one end of the bike to the other and then a coat of clear lacquer to seal it before masking the distinctive corporate Engineered logos etc. These could then be sprayed in a bright white to really add contrast to the colour scheme as a whole. Finally, several deep coats of lacquer were applied with a small amount of crystal pearl added at the last minute for the hell of it! How long did it take you to do? In total, about 40 hours work went into creating the paintwork and was finished the night before the Bespoked show, so credit to the boys at Engineered for getting the bike built and on the stand for judging the following morning. The bike won the Outstanding Finish Award at Bespoked 2016. tjcdesign.com engineeredbikes.co.uk

A Year in Steel WORDS
Adeline O’Moreau, framebuilder, Mercredi Bikes
Spring
“
Holding up that first frame, my heart rate is through the roof. It won’t come down anytime soon. When I sign up for 3 Peaks Cyclo-Cross, I think: “If the bike survives that, it’ll survive anything”. A lot of riding happens in the spring. I get to turn pedals in many different countries, landscapes and scenarios, crits and stage races, adventures with friends and so on. Enthusiasm must be contagious: the first three clients sign up for the first ever batch of Mercedi bikes. The idea’s simple: same ingredients, different proportions. Assembly line sort of process, only there is no line. Just one stubborn woman who refuses to believe small people don’t race hard. Or that custom bikes are for the wealthiest of us. How much better would we all be, given the right weapons to fight with? That’s what I want to find out. Experiment batch is a go.
All you remember is the burning feeling of good old happiness
”
Summer One big pile of Columbus steel and ten days. That’s all I’ve given myself. Maybe in a little bit of time I’ll think: “and you thought that was a challenge!”, like I think of my cycling adventures of two years ago. I hope frame building will be the same as riding: long after the challenge has been overcome, when it seems so small and far in the distance, all you remember is the burning feeling of good old happiness. Exhaustion vanished for a second, you cheer with beer to the thing you’ve just done. The joy persists.
Autumn Lined up, shoulder against shoulder, in Helwith Bridge. The bikes covered by pipe lagging and a safety blanket. Not to protect those mix and match paint-jobs we love so much, but to save us from as much bruising as we can. I feel strong and descend with a confidence I didn’t know I had before. When ascending, bike on the back, my small legs take me up high and fast on the Yorkshire Dales. Not only did the bikes survive, they served us like nothing else could have. The season is on. Almost every weekend, riders of Mercredi bikes step onto podiums or far outside of our comfort zones. We try everything: from grass-roots unsanctioned races to regional leagues and National Championships via the famous Belgian seaside. Even at our humble racing level, we put in so much work to make our bodies perform to their best. Having made bikes that feel like they are part of us is the thing I’m most proud of. I can feel it for myself and it becomes a lot more real when I see my teammates racing. Sometimes I wish I had added lead in their stays so I’d be able to keep up with them.
Winter As I am writing this, the cyclo-cross season’s end is in sight and the two next batches of Mercredis are seriously taking shape. The workshop is cold, but the warm smiles of Tom and Timmy make it the nicest place to go to. I still need to do some freelance work to keep a roof over my head but I smile thinking about all the good times that have been had on Mercredi bikes so far, and all the ones to come. And when I think of the challenges ahead, I say to myself what I said in the Peaks: “Small steps. Don’t look up. You got this.” mercredi.co.uk
