I built this as a show bike many years back. If you’ve followed my work over the years, you know that some of my bikes can be very complex, touring and commuting bikes with many features and braze ons, trying to accomplish many things.
In this bike I was looking for a simple, classy design. Fillet brazed joints, with capped seat stays and wrap-around points, this bike hearkens back to a previous time in cycling history. Stylish and easy to maintain, and with the large platform rack, you can let the bike carry the weight. It’s a perfect bike for daily use around town.

True Temper steel tubing
Stainless steel Celtic knot head badge
The Old English logo on the seat tube
