Project Description

Description

“Le Tour” was built for Bespoked 2014 cycle show along with “Passion”.

The client wanted to commemorate the Tour de France coming to Yorkshire in 2014. She wanted to keep her current riding position but was keen on having a horizontal top tube, something she has never been able to obtain before. She also wanted the frame to be lugged and chrome plated.

The bike features the traditional 1″ top tube with 1 1/8″ down and seat tubes and a 1″ headset complete with quill stem. The rear brake cable is internally routed and the brake also utilizes the “Ravens Cycles” logo as the brake bridge.

In commemoration to the Tour de France coming to Yorkshire we had the Yorkshire rose with the year 2014 air-brushed by hand on the seat tube.
