here are a few detail shots of #180, a very classic looking HUDSON 7-speed in forest green metallic. * Backstory: this project waited around an extra 2 months for a sturmey archer 3-speed rear hub, which, as of today, is still on backorder. 🥴Luckily there was an alternative and I could get this bike done. * * * #bikeportrait #citybike #madetoorder #dontgetcaughtwalking https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0fIJ4MhlA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday was #newbikeday for Julia and #165, her LAUREL in aubergine metallic with honey brown and copper accents. This bicycle is off to Karlsruhe, a small city rich with cycling culture and history. It’s the birthplace of the draisine aka walk bike or dandy horse!

Yesterday’s #newbikeday with Katharina was a hit! Not only did the rain stop 30 minutes before, but she also came by earlier than planned, and just in time to catch the soft evening light. A perfect start to the weekend on her brand new DONNA.

happy #newbikeday to Annette! Here she is with #161, a LAUREL in textured plum metallic! Like the projects before, everything took a bit longer and the whole time she was so understanding and patient. Deep gratitude going out in these still weird times. 🙏🏼 Enjoy the ride! * * * #peopleofberlin #custombicycle #madetoorder #onebyone #mixte #lifestyle #inspiration #bicycleportraits #dontgetcaughtwalking #ridebikesbehappy #berlin #prenzlauerberg #citybike #cyclechic #smallbusiness #goodthingscometothosewhowait #derwegistdasziel #instalike #picoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CRDtOxGFWAC/?utm_medium=tumblr

yesterday saw some #newbikeday goodness with Carl and #162, his PALISADE all-rounder in glossy steel blue and a smattering of matt black parts. It’s a humble interpretation of something modern, yet classic With inverse brake levers and downtube shifter, wide range gearing, clearance for 45mm tires, and a usb charging device connected to the hub dynamo; this bike is ripe for some good ol’ touring, commuting, jaunting, or whatevering!

it was a blistering cold yet wonderfully sunny #newbikeday morning and smiles were on both sides of the camera as Marie was in Berlin to pick up #185, her custom AMHERST in deep burgundy metallic. Honey brown and copper accents, braided cables, and black hammered fenders, SWOON! ENJOY THE RIDE! * * * #sunnycoldday #dontgetcaughtwalking #enjoytheride #swoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMcKFMM2dM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been a bit quiet here on the grid and there’s definitely some catching up to do, so let’s start with the most recent first. * This week Peter came from north Germany to pick up #183, his HUDSON demi-porteur in matt midnight blue pearl. A full salt and pepper treatment with dark brown accents and stem mounted shifter for an internal gear hub certainly make this bike a true modern classic.
