I love things that that wear and look better as they wear. Wooden chopping boards, Brooks saddles, proper wooden floors. Bikes that are worn look brill – smooth metal showing through the block on cranks look excellent.

I want one. Everything I have read about it fits in with the bike I see in my head. I guess the price will be only thing I won’t like.

We have committed. Pricing announced soon but typical lynskey ballpark.

Have you made any announcements on the pricing yet, or is this dependent on home many you commit to up front?

I rather like the ‘blast’ finish – it is very similar to the finish we use on our Ti jewellery – but I guess removing another process in the ‘raw’ frame helps keep the costs down?

I’m wondering if a bike really needs stickers? Since you’re going down the route of minimalism/pure function only…. and the Ragley looks great without any….. but hey you’ve probably considered this anyway!

It’s a Lynskey frame that they just did the process on.

So that frame pictured isn’t a Ragley (no seatstay web) -what is it? Something new

all my bikes now have that scuffed worn look of a hard used bike nothing looks better than a set of xtr cranks with polished edges where the shoes rub ,,, it takes hours on the polishing mob to get the right effect
