Sacha White Building The LIOTR Speedvagens

The final LIOTR Speedvagens will be unveiled this week, and we couldn't be more excited to share them with you. In the meantime here are a few shots of Sacha working on the seat stays, first shaping the joints by hand with a file, then bonding them with silver.

The Vanilla Workshop

We wouldn't be able to make it across the country without the generous material, social and emotional support from our sponsors. So where possible we'd like to give you a look into these awesome companies that are full of caring & passionate people. At the core of LIOTR is a genuine desire to do some good in the world, and each of our sponsors shares the belief and passion that is driving us to cross the US on two wheels.

We've been spending a lot of time over at The Vanilla Workshop lately getting ready for the ride and working out the details of the custom Speedvagens that Andrew and I will pilot. We'll have a few more Vanilla Workshop posts for you before the ride begins that dig into the details of the bikes, from fit to fabrication to finish. But in the meantime here are a few quiet shots that were captured on an early morning in the workshop.
