As a little preview for NAHBS, Ahearne Cycles posted a few photos of a fat bike recently completed. I really can’t wait to see this in all its glory.
Couple more below.

Since Culture Cycles is relatively young, I’ve just now started going back in time and exploring where we’ve been in our two short years of existence.
February 2011 reminds me of Firefly Bicycles…”First there was Fat Chance, who forever changed the way steel bicycles were built, then upon their move out of Boston to Glen’s Falls, NY a new brand was born: Independent Fabrications. If you’ve been following IF recently you may know that they have made big plans to move to New Hampshire to do bigger and better things.” That made way Indy Fab originals, Tyler and Jamie, to begin working as Firefly.
Just one year later and look how many stunning pieces of art bicycle they’ve created…Here’s to one year down and another one easy, keep it up guys!

Wow, I’d love to be riding wherever this is…the bike is quite entrancing too. Have a closer look at the Amaro Cardinale mountain bike below. Also be sure to check out some more Amaro Bikes here.

The guys at Independent Fabrication had been testing out new team colors for the Grassroots Racers, and here’s the result. Love the classic green and yellow.

I spent the better part of yesterday working in my basement, doing some regular service to my commuter bike and while down there I caught a glimpse of Dan’s d’Autremont ‘cross bike, pokin’ its head (tube) out around the corner. Don’t you love the head badge? Here’s to a busy bee like Monday…

Independent Fabrication from Logan Hodson on Vimeo.
A really nicely done video by Logan Hodson looking into the daily grind up at Independent Fabrications. Ever since they’d moved from Boston, I’d wanted to know what the new diggs looked like and this video confirms my predictions – they’re still on their game.

Remember this frame from Sunrise Cycles that I posted a while back? Well it’s been given some color! The paint seems to further highlight all of the incredible details found on this hand built mountain bike frame – just have a look at the head tube area (not to mention the seat stays). See more photos from Sunrise Cycles here.

Inglis and Retrotec are two hand built brands started out of Napa Valley, CA in 1993. Inglis has you covered for your road, mountain or cyclocross needs while Retrotec picks up with the funky stuff. There are 6 varieties of the Retrotec: The Classic, The Triple, The Twin, The Double, The Half and the Step Through. This burly singlespeed above is of the triple top tube design and is sporting an ideal built. I spy some White Industries and Thomson in there…

Came across this wild Brian Rourke pursuit bike on the Lo Pro blog and had to pass it along.
Rourke Cycles has been built up by Brian Rourke himself who has an impressive CV in cycles and cycling – 25 years of road racing and mountain bike racing, amassing National Road and Track Championships and five Veteran Road titles. Brian has also ridden in the UK Milk Race 3 times and in numerous International events. Jason, Brian’s son now runs the Shop and enjoys riding mountain and road cycling.

Have a look at what Sunrise Cycles has going on here. Lovely curves all around, plus these dropouts are beautiful. Hopefully we’ll get to see photos of this thing fully built! See the rest of the progress on this mountain bike here.

The color and detail on this frame by Feather Cycles is incredible. It was built as a wedding present and what better gift from a frame builder than a hand built mixte? The seafoam green, polished custom lugs and pink details have me drooling. You should see the rest of these photos!

Nothing like a hand built cyclocross bike from Pereira Cycles to help you finish up the week. This ones built up with some of the finest bits including some Paul Cantilever Brakes. You’ll want to see the rest of the photos below I’m sure, so make haste!

Came across Penguin Cycles earlier this morning and figured I’d feature another Vermont bicycle frame builder. See more from Penguin Cycles here.
