  Big news from NAHBS

  Posted in: News

  It’s late Saturday night and we’ve been receiving requests to upload some pictures of Kelly’s bikes at the show. After setting up last night to shoot some pics the management decided to turn off all of the lights to clear the hall.
  OK, so we got in early and I was able to get some shots, though really, not even close to doing any sort of justice to the beautiful bikes Kelly has assembled for the show. The mercury vapor (or metal halide?) lights in the hall leave a lot to be desired in terms of color rendition and brightness so I’m going to try and re-shoot tomorrow to improve.
  Keep checking back on the pics, but hey there’s some really big news too Read More

  Posted in: News

  

  K. Bedford Customs Tig Comp Frames are competition oriented very lightweight steel frames with carbon forks.

  The new KBC Tig welded frames are built with the same level of skill and care as are all K. Bedford frames.

  All of the design work and the bulk of the handwork is done by me with the Tig welding being done by one of the industries best and most experienced welders.

  Tig Comp Cross bike unveiled

  Posted in: News, Team

  This past sunday the new Kbedfordcustoms cross bike was unveiled as Aleksandra Rokita Mooradian rode to a seventh place finish overall in the Elite Women’s event held at Joe’s Park in Albany, NY. (This seventh place finish translated to a fourth place finish in the NY State Cyclo Cross Championships as Aleksandra was the fourth place NY rider to cross the finish line – not bad for a first time cross rider!) Aleksandra is a well known rider on the pro mountain bike circuit as a sponsored rider for Team Spin and we are very excited to have her as the first sponsored rider for Kbedfordcustoms.

  NAHBS 2010

  Posted in: News

  I will be exhibiting at the 2010 NAHBS (North American Handbuilt Bicycle Show)  along with Ray Schmidt of Handlebra Fine Leather Handlebar Wrap. The show will be taking place this year in Richmond VA, February 26 – 27, 2010. Ray and I will be co-exhibiting in a 10’x20’ booth; floor location yet to be determined.

  This will be my second NAHBS show and I’m expecting to feel more at home this time around. Last year’s show in Indianapolis was a whirlwind of frame prep, travel and nonstop  meet & greet. But it was great to be among those with a passion for the finest custom bicycles, and after a year of working away in my one man shop I’m looking forward to being back among kindred spirits.

  If you share our passion you should strongly consider making the trip to Richmond this February to see the country’s best frame builders displaying their work, all under one roof. When you’re there stop by and say hello.
