Self Harm

Mr Fletcher this one is for you. I think All Hail The Black Market puts it best “I just threw all my bicycles away and punched myself in the face” The trail on comments on Yout Tube left by shamed cyclists is classic!

Our gaggle of Prologo demo saddles have arrived for you to soothe your butts on. So now you can make an informed, educated saddle choice without the risk of dropping a couple of hundgy and ending up with a glutius maximus that is still sore. I’ll leave you with the immortal words of the great Nuevo Yorkian philosopherizer Jay-Z “If you’re having saddle problems I feel bad for...

Cannondale CAAD10 Project Bike

We recently put together a CAAD-10 project bike with SRAM Red, 3T Ltd finishing kit, Hollowgram SL crankset and EDGE/ENVE Wheels just to show how light you could build up a bling alloy frame. So how light is it? you ask. Well at Cycles Bespoke don’t like to use in grams or kg’s but rather prefer to measure things in units of ‘coolness’ and the reading that came back for...

Reynolds RZR 92.2

Rod from Bikesportz was kind enough to drop these brand new, full carbon, deep section, time trail specific wheels from Reynolds into the shop for us to take a gander and put on display. The RZR 92.2 named after RZR, the last, and unspoken member of the Wu-Tang clan and little brother of RZA. Not only can he rap but he can time trail too. Black carbon with gloss black stickering makes these guys...

Parlee Z5 Custom Paint

This beautiful machine has just come and gone from the Cycles Bespoke stable. Jaimie Kirkwood picked up a custom paint Parlee Z5 after a kamikaze kangaroo snaped his Z4 on the zig zag. 3T finishing kit, Campag Super Record and Edge 65’s to finish it off. Nice.

Public Enemy brought the noise, we bring the...

Our first shipment of White Industries goodies just arrived including track hubs, Eno hubs and sprockets to fit. After seeing these you would be excused for saying: “Phil who?, Campagnolwho?”. Beautifully machined, smooth-as-silk bearings and spline system that eliminates the problem of lock rings coming loose. Come in and take a gander.

2011 Pivot Mach-4 Custom Build.

The new Pivots are looking pretty damn good. Tapered headtube, reworked rear end to reduce weight and increase torsional rigidity. We built this one for Papa Rosco and we reckon it looks pretty good! We have a demo Mach-5 here for anyone who wants to know what all the fuss is about.

New to Cycles Bespoke, DeKerf Cycles.

The newest addition to the Bespoke family. We are very proud to introduce Dekerf Cycles to Australia. Chris Dekerf has been hand crafting beautiful custom steel and titanium frames from his Vancouver, Canada workshop for over twenty years. I had the pleasure of working alongside Chris, and can give a first hand account of his obsessive pursuit of quality and fastidious attention to detail....
