18bikesmatt…what’s the frame finish? Is it anodised?

you can’t easily swap from gears to single speed

Pick a gear; Don’t change it.

There you go.

The frame is painted by a local firm who do amazing paintjobs. The finish is matt and textured (similar to old Marins) but with fully painted decals too.

They were one of the best paint jobs ever!

Zolatone 200. Had it on my 1990 Team Marin. Tough as anything.

I’m a bit late on this thread, but this bike is great!

Question: could it be ordered without the adjustable dropouts? I believe Pinion do a chain tensioner which mounts directly to the gearbox, so that could be used instead of adjustable dropouts, right? I am thinking that this would save money and also weight at the rear of the bike.

PLEASE bring this to the Bespoked show in April…

Hehe – of course, we’d gone with the adjustable dropout for neatness. custom frame = your choice (within reason) on most bits!

Matt says he’ll bring it the the show, seeing as you said please 😉
