Leader 725 black

First Leader frame in Israel. Yes it is. Sasha came to me in November 2010, gave me money and said I want singlespeed, light fast bike and here is the money for it. Within 3 months he saw me presenting some concept fixed bikes to another guy and said:”Fuck Single Speed, I’m going fixie.” We were working very hard to choose a frame for him as he specifically wanted no logos, no brands, nothing on it. Leader frame 725 was the best choice afterwards. Best for look, best for price, best for geometry. I’ve built the wheels specially for him, no brands, deep black rims, added all the black pieces together and found a very cool carbon fork. On top it, add a track handlebar, brooks saddle, cool black crank and the result is below. So the bike has no weight, no logos and all over a black motherfucker.

Did I mention that Sasha Flit is a professional photographer)?

Cannondale Capo

First he was thinking about Raleigh grand prix. But then Dude bought Cannondale Capo. Dude wanted orange pedals. Dude got the coolest bike in town. Very fast, light and cool bike with nice touch of unusual colors. And I have completed the assembly in three hours.

Max's Colnago

One day, someone sent me a message via facebook. Something like “You are the guy with bicycles, right?”. Yes, and the next thing I know the guy is in my living room with huge Colnago frame. Red, very light, road frame. I said, dude I have never seen such a beauty. And he said, does that mean that you will make me a bicycle? No problem, but it will be single speed only.

So here it is before:

and after:

Moth (Bucephalus)

Well, here is the story.
Right after i have finished Raleigh Grand prix, it was clear that if no road bike can do what track frame was made to do. Thus i was looking for track frame new and special.
Then in June i had a short vacation in between jobs and found myself in NY the fixed gear capital. First thing i did was to map all well know bicycle stores in Manhattan and pay a visit. Apparently the nicest place was the first one and the owner Jeff Woods inspired me with his own creation "Moth". I'm known as non-rational buyer and need my time to think so i postpone the purchase till i would be back from Boston. Boston on the other hand had a lot to offer and i was almost seduced by swobo frame. But lucky me, back to NY and bought this beautiful Moth.
Then I’m flying over the ocean, got stopped by border police, but released as they couldn't find the frame in internet and so on.
It took me almost 2 month to find a simple headset for this frame cause everyone in Tel-Aviv was afraid to touch the frame.
But eventually the story came to the logical end and i have very unique and gorgeous bicycle. Not to mentioned the fame)

Raleigh Espirit

Now, friends get interested and start asking questions. One thing led to another and I had a first customer with special requests. She arrived on August as friend of a friend and fortunately I had an old frame from Raleigh just for her. Old school and extra small size. All the colors and add-ons are purely based on her wishes.
Everytime I see this bike on the streets of Tel-Aviv I have my heart skip a beat. BTW it all started as singlespeed but now she is fixed!

Raliegh Grand Prix 3rd project

After a long searching i have finally found a second hand Raliegh Grand Prix for 300 nis on Yad2 board. The bike was unused and old, and the guy that sold it to me just wanted the picture after conversion. I did all by the book including cutting of the handlebar and making it as bullhorn. This is the bike i was officially riding for almost a year till the day i set up "Bucephalus". For the first time i have tried to paint the frame and the fork in different colors. Unfortunately i picked up similar colors so nobody noticed the difference. This frame is also a bit bigger for me so nowadays I’m planning to sell it.
