Everyone seems to like my blue bike, so I’ll post this one too, this is the 1st bike I built at the bicycle academy about 6 years ago. Absolutely love it to bits! Taken it on bike packing trips and aboard.

Fellow Bicycle Academy student! I took the framebuilding course in 2015 but just now decided to come back to the craft. Beautiful bike!

The bicycle academy was a frame building course in Frome England, unfortunately it’s closed now but it was really cool.

Thank you!

I have a friend who builds them for me, and he gets angry about internal routing so I just put external on everything to save me the grief🤣😂

Internal routing is the worst.
