Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle

See all formats and editions

The publication presents the designs of six internationally renowned bicycle builders whose embrace of the tradition of working in metal brings striking innovation to their craft.

Through their manipulation of steel, aluminum and titanium, the builders of Bespoke produce racing bicycles that speed champion athletes to victory, mountain and cyclocross bicycles built to negotiate vertiginous terrain, urban bicycles that stylishly convey commuters, and randonneur bicycles elegantly stripped down for epic journeys.

Candid portraits including builder's inspirations, working methods and bicycles, lavishly photographed in great detail, highlight this exhibition at New York's Museum of Arts and Design.

Bespoke offers a rich and intimate view of objects that sit squarely at the intersection of art, design, craft and performance. Includes bicycles by the following builders: Mike Flanigan (A.N.T), Jeff Jones, Dario Pegoretti, Richard Sachs, J.

Peter Weigle, Sacha White (Vanilla Bicycles).
