Custom Bicycles

While steel remains the material of preference for most frame builders these days, there has been an quiet surge of interest in handmade custom carbon fiber frames, especially those made in the US. Brian Williams and his Kelson brand hail from the south eastern quarter of Idaho and his composite frames are constructed with the highest attention of craft and detail. http://www.cycleexif.com/kelson-custom-cycles

Aventon Cycles

Little known about this bike, apart from the name is Aventon. But very cool fixie.

Zukas Cycles

Nate Zukas has been making frame for only about a year and a half, but has been painting, repairing and modifying them for a while. His last name is Lithuanian for white rabbit, and somewhere on each frame you’ll find a painted white rabbit or two hiding somewhere. He makes custom steel road, mountain, cyclocross and other style bikes in Augusta, GA. He paints all the frames, too, and they’re really, really well done.

For a relatively young builder, his bikes showed an awfully high degree of finish quality and unique touches. The single speed/fixed gear city bike above is a fabulous example of “other” and has a hidden brake cable for the front disc.
