In 2015, I bought my first ever new bike – I’ve owned a lot of bikes, but never had one from new. I bought the bare frame, hand-built the wheels and spec’ed and built up every component on the bike. I still love riding it every day.

The spec is here. Honestly, I feel like I could have built up a commercial bike design for production with less effort, but I really enjoyed doing it.

One day, I will design and make a bike frame, and then I will have completed all parts of building a bike.
