Bet you didn’t think this was a Surly Cross Check..but it is. We all know how versatile the Cross Check can be, but throw some bling at it, a 14 speed internal Rohloff Speedhub, some gorgeos Honjo fenders and put it infront of the Mobius‘s lens and you’ve got a recipe for a both gorgeous and functional commuter bicycle. Get real close to this beautiful machine below.

Shop partner of Jordan Hufnagel, James Crowe is quite the fabricator. Just take a look at this custom tail light he made. See some more of his work here.

Every time I see new work from Busyman Bicycles it just keeps getting better! This is some of his most recent work, a custom San Marco Rolls for Keith at Kumo Cycles. The graphic is an adaptation of his headbadge graphic. Want a custom saddle or some bar tape for your special rig? Head over to Busyman and shoot him an email!

Handmade components are so rad! Jared Souney‘s a lucky guy to have had these custom made brake levers for him by Hufnagel Cycles.

Busyman Bicycles does it again. This black leather tape with red stitching is the ultimate “icing on the cake” to an already gorgeous Look road bike. Check out more work from Busyman here.

Are you one of those folks who likes to ride around with a flask? With the temperatures dropping day by day, this would make a great gift for your bourbon-loving, winter-riding cyclist! Head over to Ahearne Cycles to read up on the details and how to get your custom engraved flask going.

Check out that hand-carved lug on Craig’s custom Feather Cycles Track Frame. The combo of black, red and chrome got me drooling – really hope to see photos of this bike fully built.

Stems are one of my favorite components on the bicycle. From production to custom, there are so many ways to create a simple-functioning piece; specific to its use too. That’s why seeing framebuilder’s own take on such components is always great. Here’s a custom stem from Portland’s own, Signal Cycles.

Leave it to Luxe to keep cranking out the wheelsets. I’m really diggin’ the tanning-bed style back-lighting to these photos. See what else is going on at Luxe Wheelworks here.

Luxe Wheelworks keep pumping out the fresh custom builds! Here’s a carbon Darkstar 29er sporting that e*Thirteen XCX chain keeper I’ve had on item watch for weeks now…
It’s all in the details below. See some more work from Luxe here.

I love the work of Busyman Bicycles and this black-dyed kangaroo saddle with red leather perforations is specially made for Dan of Shifter Bikes. See the custom Turbo he’s also getting below.
