Pre-paint

Some bare metalwork for ya before the paint goes on.

Classic seat cluster with "half wrap" seatstay caps and requested symbol.
                                 
                                                             Drops with stainless faces.

              Back end showing the chevron shaped bridge I love to use. I first saw it 8 or 9 years ago on a fixed frame built by Whitney Moyer. Moyer had a great eye when it came to lugged fixed gears, nobody did them better. Ufortunately, he doesn't build anymore, but the bridge lives on!

                                                    Front showing the nifty Sachs lugs.
The low trail fork gives this bike a classic British path racer look to go along with it's snappy handling and smooth ride...perfect for a road going fixed gear.

  1. Beautiful frames Mr. Matthews. I can't wait until I'm able to afford one of your custom built frames. Keep 'em alive until then!

  2. You might be closer than you think...the whole BHS alumni thing should be worth something, right?
