Red Bike.

I’ll be putting the bikes into the crate and sending it off to Sacramento tomorrow and thought it’s about time I post a few photos of them. I know some other builders like to give a tease and not show the bikes before the show and I understand the motivation………..on the other hand I doubt your seeing them here will stop you from walking into my booth to see them in the flesh so it seems more than worth the risk. Couple that with the fact that even though the show will see about 7000 folks walk through the gate to see the bikes and that leaves more than a few billion who won’t be there but do have internet access so these photos are for them.

You’ve seen the raw fillet bike already so it’s time to check out the Red Bike. It’s a JK Special Classic all built up with Campagnolo Super Record, 3T bars/stem, Fizik saddle and post and Fulcrum wheels. It has a one off paint job by Mr. Bell and it a custom mixed red just for this bike. The frame is of course made-to-measure for the customer (as they all are) and features Llewellyn lugs, Reynolds tubes (953 main tubes and Kirk by Reynolds stays), Kirk Triple F dropouts and my special hand fabricated hollow side-tack seat stay caps.

I look forward to showing off the bike in person in the booth (number 413 by the way) and then to sending it off to it’s new home once it gets home.

Thanks again for looking,

Dave

   “A custom mixed red,” huh? You weren’t lyin’. A level top tube and a handlebar with a traditional deep drop always looks proper together. Nice bike.

   I may not like color red since I prefer maroon or bloody red color. But somehow you brought a different scene with that color. And the black tires, chair and handle contradicts it so it makes it a good combination.
