The Inspiration...
I'm a Kiwi based in London, and although I've lived all around the world (getting by as a technician for Yamaha motorcycles) one place which stands out is the city of Napier, NZ...

... pretty much the whole place is Art Deco...
... I've cut and cleaned up the Mixte frame, taking off the head tube and the two parallel top tubes...
I'm planning on using those top tubes on the Hercules frame... just not sure which way I prefer...
??
Mixte is a good French frame... over there it is pretty unisex, but I've noticed in London only chicks seem to get their hands on it.
Yeah I would have loved to have done the full build on the Mixte frame but as it's broken I'll just be using it's coolest parts 8) for parts! ... managed to...
Unfortunately the mixte frame is broken and cracked so it will be cut up and the frame tubes will be used on the brown frame. I was planning on using it but rule 3: [Must use factory frame....no altering of original frame structure/geometry.] means I can't build the bike I originally planned, so...
Just getting started!
This will be my first entry in a build off, was trying to do something last year but kept being bothered by work...
I'm looking to build something you guys have never seen before :D well hopefully!
It's all about the power of three, hence the name - 3£♪ ... (£...
here are a few pictures of my work and some of my favourite bikes, mainly fixies, but not the only thing I do. In fact after 8 years of building fixed wheel bikes and single speeds I am opening my horizons and building more customs bikes. I hope you like this small selection.
Hi All,
I'm a London based cycle workshop which specialises in customised bikes and the building of steel fixed wheel bicycles. I am turning more to one off customs and also bike trailers.
My back ground is motorcycles and I have working for Yamaha and Harley Davidson both companies allowed...
