Orange Jamie Swan bicycle

Recently I visited Jamie Swan and was taken back by his work shop and his bikes. I had seen them in passing before, but an afternoon really gave me time to see that they are some of the finest crafted frames handmade today.


I love the use of spokes and nipples as the rear cable hanger.

i love the rear hanger too! but i hate how there's never a symmetry between the two. it would be neat to see the same construction on the front, with spokes hanging from eyelets under a custom stem.

it looks great, but you can see there is a lot of time invested in make it. but the results are undeniable.
