English Cycles
“What is it about the bicycle? Something about the freedom and sheer joy of the supreme efficiency of the marriage of man and machine. Something about the zen of the meditative state during riding. The ability to mentally ‘switch off’ during long road rides. The intensity of concentration when being absolutely ‘on’ riding technical singletrack. Going fast, with less than a square inch of rubber connecting you to the road. The private world of pain of hillclimbing and time trialling. And even the simple ability to cover ground and haul stuff around town.” – English Cycles
Rob English is a framebuilding genius in his chosen medium of steel. Rob’s designs go far beyond round tubes welded into lugs, and so on. Some of Rob’s accolades include multiple awards for his designs and builds at the MADE SHOW (https://made.bike), and the now defunct NAHBS.
