Inspired by the work of Tom Ritchey and the very first production mountain bikes in California, the Stayer Cycles stAyTB project is a collaborative effort with 2nd Life Bikes. The stAyTB project consists of a frame, fork, bullmoose bars, day rack, wheels, headbadge and other bits and bobs all beautifully and somewhat singularly fillet brazed and fashioned in Leytonstone, East London. Let’s check it out.
During Josh’s trip to Paris earlier this summer, he visited the workshop of Maison Tamboite, who build stunning luxury bicycles in the heart of Paris. While there, Josh connected with builder Hugo Canivenc and documented his custom Cyfac fixed gear commuter.
Below, get to know Hugo, his personal bicycle, and Maison Tamboite…
Rodeo Adventure Labs was founded as an open-to-anyone team a decade ago by Stephen Fitzgerald and a group of friends in search of less rules and more fun on bikes. Since becoming a production bike company with an emphasis on versatility, customization, and—always—refined design, Rodeo has retained a culture of questioning the norm. Today, Hailey Moore shares a long-form profile of the high points and headwinds Rodeo has navigated over the past ten years, and exciting insights into how the company is thinking about its future. To accompany this Shop Visit, we’re also sharing people-and-bike portraits of the folks behind Rodeo Adventure Labs in a separate Radar.
We’re back with Readers’ Rides after a couple of weeks’ hiatus, and today’s submission comes from Auguste Bicycles in Causse Méjean, the South of France, with a wild full suspension…
To help support us in covering the 2024 MADE Bike Show, wheel manufacturer We Are One sponsored a special gallery featuring some of the showcase’s builders who displayed the brand’s handmade carbon wheels. This includes some yet-to-be-released off-road touring/bikepacking-specific models. Read on for an in-depth look at bikes from Apogee, Chumba, Landyachtz, Moots, Pine, Sage, Significant Other, Six Mile, Sour, and Wolf Tooth/Otso!
In 2013, at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, we featured a unique approach to documenting framebuilder showcases entitled “Head Shots and Head Tubes.” Now, over ten years later, we did it at MADE…
If we shot your bike at 2024 MADE, here’s a Dropbox folder with all the photos. We’ve got one more bike gallery next week, and at that point, we’ll also upload those photos. We encourage framebuilders to use these photos on their websites and on social media, and if you need high-resolution photos, please shoot John or Josh an email.
This was a record-breaking effort from our team, with eighty-four total bikes documented.
We do this out of love for the framebuilding community and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of you!

Dropouts are critical to the design of the rear end of a bike. Daniel Yang from Artefact and Neuhaus recently took the big step of designing and manufacturing his own dropouts: the Artefact UDH dropout and the DR30.
What do you guys think? Which design do you prefer?
Dan Craven, or Dan from Nam, as he was known during his professional road racing career, had for years dreamt of starting his own handmade bike brand at home in Namibia, Onguza. He had traveled the world riding and racing bikes, but he knew that to find the best builders, returning home to Namibia would make the most sense…
Today, in conjunction with our first Ti Talk, we’re excited to pull back the curtain on No.22‘s development of the brand’s new aero, performance-forward titanium road bike. Constructed from 3D-printed titanium and countless hours of post-printing hand labor, the latest iteration of the Reactor is set to launch in 2025, with this prototype debut at the MADE bike show in Portland, OR, August 23-25th…
A few weeks back, during our State Bicycle Ti All-Road review, a conversation about titanium unfurled in the comments. The Radavist is uniquely positioned to have this discussion as we’ve amassed more Beautiful Bicycle galleries than anyone else on the web, and a large portion of these feature titanium frames. In the eighteen years of documenting cycling culture, we’ve also amassed a large contact list in the framebuilding world.
In an attempt to demystify the material, we reached out to No. 22 Bicycle Company for a bit of Ti Talk.
In Sklar Bikes‘ latest video, Adam fabricates a custom segmented steel bicycle fork. He talks elements of fork design, machine and brazes the crown and then tig welds it all together.
John and Cari were in Melbourne for a few days following the 2024 MADE Australia showcase, which gave them some free time to visit a couple of shops, one of which was Prova Cycles.
Nestled inside this compact factory, siblings Mark and Kelly Hester build some of the most advanced bikes in the world. This two-person team has optimized production over the past four years, and it’s something to behold…
John and Konstantin from Drust Cycles were chatting on Instagram over the weekend (about Cinelli Laser frames) when he posted these rear light mounts. Drust was hand-machining these nifty lights for SON and Supernova lights for clients before having them forged in aluminum. They’re available in batches of five to local bike shops, B2B only, so if you’re interested, drop Drust Cycles an email.
Check out a beautiful Drust Cargo bike in our Eurobike 2024 coverage.
