I collected my new winter road frame the other day and I thought I share it here.

It’s a custom 853 based on my summer bike but with a few little changes. I can’t wait to build it. Just waiting on my DC07 forks from Kinesis. So should be ready Tuesday.

quality.

Your name on all 3 tubes?

Beautiful lad. Hope you enjoy it.

Very very nice work

Obviously a crap frame, other wise it’d be more than your winter frame…

😉

Thats really nice.

That’s beautiful, who made it?

Purty.

My uncle made it. He is a retired Dr. Cycling runs in our family and about two years ago he went on a framebuilding course. He promptly bought a jig from the states and has been making frames as a hobby. He’s really meticulous by nature and he loves doing it. I think I’ll ask for a track frame next as he’ll be getting bored otherwise!

The frame was sprayed by Neil at Atlantic Boulevard in Bury

Does he do discounts for potential distant relatives? 🙂

very nicely finished
seat tube/ TT junction looks a bit wonky though 😳

I can’t say I’ve noticed a wonky ST/TT junction. May be the pics. I’ll have a look later.

Rob – He may be interested in commissions…I haven’t asked him

that is lovely.

Very nice that, matches yer house.

lol

Finish looks excellent.

Weight?

I haven’t weighed it yet. I’ll try to get it on some scales tomorrow.

Nice. My custom 853 frame is 14 this year.

God damn that’s a good looking bike.

That is bloody lovely.

I have to say that is very very tidy indeed.

Fantastic lines

(By the way I used to live very close by in Partington, All Saintschurchtastic, oh so many years ago, folks now in Davyhulme)

I like it, but if that’s the winter bike where are the disc mounts?

Very handsome…

I know its your winter frame but it needs better components to do it justice 🙂

Lovely that, you never know I might see you out on the Cheshire lanes.

I think I’ll ask for a track frame next as he’ll be getting bored otherwise!

If he does get bored, tell him to drop me an email 😉

too good for a winter bike, that.

If it ever develops a crack make sure you come on here complete with pics complaining about the manufacturer 😉

Since when has a 105 groupset not been good enough for a winter bike!?

Thanks for the positive comments though. 1st ride tomorrow. Brickworks and Macc. Can’t wait!

Andys Uncle is a real gentleman and kindly build me one as well, its now getting admiring looks all around S.Wales.

they both look really good.

Hate to say it but the blue on Andy’s pips it for me.

Dr. Cycling

strange name for an Uncle

double post

Mmmmm nice

What framebuilding course?

If that’s the way to get such a nice looking frame then I know what to spend my lump-sum retirement fund on!
