Fabrica Cycles Pista

Look at the new hotness from Milan!

fabrica4338-2Paolo Paciucci formerly of from Ferriveloci Cicli Milano has branched off and with Francesco Barbieri created Fabrica Cycles. Together they are making a handful of different stunning steel frames. The Fabrica Cycles Pista is a gorgeous representation of their skill and attention to detail. The Pista is a 100% handmade frame made of high quality Columbus steel tubing with tight classic track geometry.

These bikes are beautiful and are made to order so you can get them in any color combination and in any size.  For more information or how to order follow this link.

They also make a few other models for cross and road. Details on those can be found here.

BISHOP BIKES

11038669026_4555cf77a3_b11038191976_ddde9c7c1a_bBishop Bikes is a one man shop run by Chris Bishop. Every project I have seen from Bishop Bikes is a work of art. Chris’s passion for frame building shows in each frame. The quality of work coming out of this shop is phenomenal.

“Combining classic artisanal techniques and modern materials, I create bikes with a clean, modern aesthetic and precise attention to detail. Bike fit and handling tailored to customer needs and riding style are my primary objectives, with beautiful paint and thinned lugs being the finishing flourishes on a solid foundation. I prefer to fit customers myself whenever possible. Among my many influences are the classic French constructeurs, Italian racing bikes, and the great American custom builders of today.”
