Piccs:

another one out of the park keith, amazing.

This is…I am speechless. Needs proper dirt drops though but thats just me.

Primo. My favourite of your builds.

pretty sweet

Also my favourite KUMO. There is something amazing in the fine details, coupled with the agricultural(?) colour and font stylisation that is totally sublime. Brings to mind tractors?

One billion points.

Yeah, I’m no fan of them

Cheers!

You aren’t far off with the agricultural machinery, the colour is Kesswick Green, a Land Rover Defender colour.

The bike is partially my homage to the last Defender rolling off the factory floor in Solihull this year

Jeebus!! One of my favourites too… that paint is exactly enough.

Amazing. Which rack is that? Bolting it to the top of the fork is cool.

Custom rack, made by me

Liking it a lot Keith, well done.

Looks a little small to be your bike, is it a customers?

Is it a 1 1/8" fork steerer tube?

The stem looks similar to something I know I linked to you a long while ago, IIRC it was stepping up a 1" steerer to a 31.8mm bar and you said you could do a better job, seems like you did :slight_smile:

There’s a Demon Frameworks feel to the lugs too.

Very cool to be able to say that!

Thanks Geoff!

My size, my bike. Sloping TT makes it look a little smaller

1 1/8" steerer

Demon: I guess, from a framebuilders point of view there is a fair difference in the process and the aesthetic.
His work is all carved, mine was machined.
Love his work either way

That’s all kinds of rad, Keith. Nice one!

Bloody hell Keith, this is immense. When I started looking on the gram all I thought was “this needs to be on top to the top of a matching defender”.

So great, and I love that this has Cinelli MASH bars on it.

We had to take the Defender to get to the photo shoot. It was rad.

My fav Kumo out of all Kumos so far. Can’t wait to see this one Keith.

I’d expect nothing less.

Awesome. Loving the Land Rover homage.
