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

made by me
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

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.
