Hi,
Saw one of these kicking around at The Wild Boar Chase at the weekend.
Guy there had Islabikes team kit on so I guess not a production run?
Lovely looking steel goodness!
Any chance of a production run?
Thanks,
Max

AFAIK, Isla and co use grown up bikes as a way of trying out stuff for their end products. And, as such, their team bikes are just that, team bikes. Shame, as they do look very tidy.

Tom Payton (fairly handy cx rider for Isla) had a pair of stainless steel bikes during last season, very nice they were too.

Yeah,
Defo steel.
Nice and skinny stays.
Can't remember colour now,
Think it was mint or cream?

There was a Bespoke 2014 article on STW with a picture of the team bike.

Have a look near the bottom of [url= http://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bespoked-ukhbs-2014-heres-what-caught-our-eye/ ]this[/url] page.

We were next to him at the start. Very nice looking bike. looked like a Reynolds 853 sticker on the seat tube. Went well.
