Three things are clearly apparent after visiting Jaegher in the heart of Flanders, Belgium. 

Velocipedo is a new brand of carbon and titanium bikes started by industrial designer Matthias Jeschke.

On a recent trip to London Podia dropped into the new workshop of Matthew Sowter, otherwise known as Saffron Frameworks.

On a recent trip to London, Podia decided to try and visit some of the great English frame makers establishing themselves in the custom bike world. 

When we first saw a Pegoretti bike a couple of years ago the initial reaction was that the steel frame was a canvas for an artist. Since we paid a visit to Dario’s workshop in the hills of Trentino in Italy, our opinion hasn’t changed, but it has evolved.

The history of Passoni reads something like a classical Italian Opera with serendipity, family and romance as well as tragedy at the heart of the story.

The moment you step into the Cinelli offices it is plane to see they are not the usual bicycle company. 

The first question Podia have for Marco Bertoletti is why he called his company Legend and not Bertoletti, which in our mind seems far more marketable.
