The Broken Spoke

Another custom frame-up build to come out of the shop!

This one was a Kona Sutra frame built up into a light & fast single speed commuter.

Full fenders & rack are the usual staples for an awesome commuting bicycle. The Brooks B-17 in British Racing Green & copper rails complements the bike nicely. Other highlights are the Thomson seatpost & stem, White Industries eccentric hub & ENO freewheel, Soma Lauterwasser handlebar, Speedplay Frog pedals, & Sugino single speed crank.

Hand-stitched(by me) Velo Orange Elk hide handlebar covering give the handlebars an elegant look. The Stem Captain clock in the stem adds functional class!

Here is the front wheel that I hand-built to match the rear that I built weeks ago. Paul WORD hub on an Alex Adventurer rim using Wheelsmith double butted spokes. Continental Gatorskins put the rubber to the road.
