Sometimes, it takes a while for a project to come to fruition
This #lesterbikes is a full size hand made gravel bike that fits in a suitcase. It's built for my friend and former colleague Heidi. We started off in 2019 when we sat together to work out the geometry and component spec on this very custom build. She'd traveled the world by bike but had been hindered by poor fitting bikes and found them to be both expensive and cumbersome to travel with. We tried to solve both issues with this de-coupled frame and bonded over all the nerdiness involved.
The bike finally got finished in 2022, after many part shortages and maybe just life getting in the way.
I'm still very proud of what came out. Thanks to Lester for his great craftsmanship and patience. All in all, a testimony to perseverance!
