Gorgeous Custom Road and Gravel Bikes at The Bespoked Show, London

Bespoked Show is a celebration of what frame builders can achieve outwith corporate constraints, where designs that might be laughed out the door for their lack of mass market attraction are instead appreciated for the small niche into which they fit perfectly. Not everyone wants to part with their money for a belt-driven gravel bike with clearance for 27.5″ x 1.9″ tires, a rim brake equipped steel track bike, or a gravel bike with a 32″ front wheel and a 27.5″ rear, but there are enough pure frothers out there to make these pursuits worthwhile.

These are the ones that caught the attention of Pinkbike’s tech editor – me. You can find my coverage of the show’s mountain bikes here, as well as coverage of the Apocalypse Bike Builds, featuring double decker cargo bikes, a Cannonsnail, and other two-wheeled affairs bedecked in impedimenta such as Nerf guns, blow torches, and questionable coffee-making facilities.
