HippY Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hey, I have a freind who is looking for a company here in UK who makes custom frames for a Fixie. Is there any? or will JAF start making frames later on again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Ricky Feather is a former pro BMXer who turned frame builder - the stuff he makes is awesome: http://www.feathercycles.com/ There's also a guy called Ted James who lives down in London - another former sponsored rider turned frame builder, he's made rad shit too: http://www.tedjamesdesign.com/ Both of those guys are fairly specialised in making fixie/road-bike frames so should be able to help out.

harmertrials Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 As Mark said. Feather are renowned for their quality, don't expect jaf prices though. Also check out woodrup cycles in Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Even if WIP bikes were still around, I would urge anybody considering a frame to steer well clear whether they were charging £500 or £5. Truly awful in every aspect. I assume that WIP stands for Work In Progress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 http://www.donhoubicycles.com/ http://www.demonframeworks.com/ You'd be good to lookup the Bespoked Bristol site and simply trawl the exhibitors http://www.bespokedbristol.co.uk/Exhibitors%20A-f.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 That 'Ted James Designs' guy won the Peer Award from Bespoked as it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Or you can get a Ti one built for less by the nice guys at Triton. That's if you aren't 100% set on one from the UK. I also heard they will soon be doing Reynolds and maybe Columbus steel frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Haha, that photo's classic. Only met Ted a couple of times, but he was f**king sound. That was a while ago when he and a bunch of other people were living in some converted storage space with a pretty amazing setup they built themselves, and he was just getting into doing more frame building type stuff. Cool to see how far he's taken it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 That was a pretty cool video Absolutely, completely, f**k putting your leg under that machine at any point though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
