Anyone got one? Heard much about them etc, etc?
Hadn’t heard of them until last week when someone here randomly recommended them on a thread but gave no other details or reasons. Probably the bloke’s mum 😂
They look nice if you like that kind of thing, and there’s lots of talk about being made in Bristol etc on the website - but they’re too cheap for a UK made frame, and there are no pics on the website of anyone welding, so I’ll assume they’re made in the Far East unless told otherwise.
Maybe the full-bike equivalent of Hunt wheels? I don’t know really, but they tell a nice story on their website, the price point seems ok, I’m sure there’s a place for them!
Too cheap !!! £615 for a fixie :/
I must have missed the other thread.
I don't know too many bike builders who actually make bikes - they design them and get them built in Taiwan.
I think they use hunt wheels on their full builds.
I was looking at their adventure disc - the other thread in bombtrack/all city got me looking around and found them. Nicer paint colours than fearless!
Fearless it probably a bit more "future proof" if you fancied going for Carbon forks in the future.
Temple looks nice but would like to see a frame only option.

Good point - hadn't really considered that.
Temple looks nice but would like to see a frame only option.
They do one - was £395, may have gone up since. For some reason it doesn't show up in their website as an option.
If you dig VERY deep into their website you eventually find that the frames are made in Taiwan.

Nothing at all wrong with that, but I do find the amount of "custom made in Bristol custom custom built handmade waffle custom custom did we mention custom built?" slighty dishonest / misleading.
