Is This Custom Built eBay Treasure?

Members' FeatureOnline Feature

Jo Burt spotted it first, so we suspect him of having an eBay alert for ‘custom built bike’. Which only serves as another plus on the good character of Mr Mint Sauce. But, what is it that he has found? It’s sort of like a Nishiki Alien met a Moulton and had a baby, and that baby got drunk in the pub with a Trimble and Geoff Apps. But, if it were a puppy, would…

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

    @Hannah Dobson didn’t realise the esoteric was your thing.

    My brother in law has seriously weird bike collection. He kept us going through lock down one posting videos of himself riding them .

    I hope this link will show a section

    I’ve built a frame with long head tube.
    I’ve built an e-stay.
    I’ve built twin tubes.
    I’ve not yet combined them all in one bike….

    But it is a good way of internal routing.

    P.S. See you in May Ampthill? Bring your bil. I have fire and brazing rods 🙂

    @mick_r see you in may.

    One day I’d love to make a frame. Bit more keen note I know that I want saved can’t find it. But I think I’ll need the support of one of those holiday camp deals

    @ampthill I like things that are different! I also like things that are hand made, especially if there’s a bit of making do and figuring out rather than just buying all the perfect constituent parts. That BMX triplet is great!


    @mick_r     nice! My Stooge has a twin top tube, but not internal routing.

    Forgot to follow this up a couple of days ago.
    It went for the £50, way too cheap. I’d have definitely had a cheeky bid if I lived nearer London or they offered shipping.
