So simple yet so beautiful

March 17th, 2009

The latest frame to go out the door here at Circle A is a single speed commuter for Steven in Pennsylvania. The pastel palette he chose is going to make for a beautiful complete bike. It’s a classic cream color with faded sea foam panels, head tube, fork blades, and details. This will definitely be a head turner.

And I’ve still been doing tons of paint work. I guess I just can’t get enough of the fumes. I did a couple frames for Royal H (off white with orange lug lining) and Icarus (red and white with pearl).

I also did a repaint of a Klein Q Pro XX for Clyde in North Carolina. You will definitely know what kind of bike this is when he comes flying past you.

And I went to Indianapolis recently to check out the handmade bike show. Thanks to Marty from Geekhouse for being accommodating and letting me sleep on his hotel room floor. I met a lot of great people there and can’t wait to display next year. Word on the street is that it’s going to be on the east coast. We’re keeping our fingers crossed!

    Love the Commuter paint. Looks like the classic Raliegh Competition Frames…

    Wow. I have to agree with ‘Smoking in Public Places’ (SIPP). The single speed is gorgeous; not only reminiscent of Raleigh (SIPP and I must be cyclists of a certain age), but of a Motobecane Gran Sport I longed for as a penniless undergrad in the late ’70′s. The Klein is a stunner.
