Life is too short to ride shit bikes.

 

The simplest bikes often have the strongest visual pull.  No distractions, just the beauty of the design.  

Jimmy Röstlund is Egress Bikes.  Originally native to Scandinavia, he calls Australia home.  Relatively new to building bikes, he has a number of frames of his belt ranging from his roots in BMX, to MTB, Gravel and road.

He punished his own Egress MTB on the Vic Divide 550 bikepacking event as well as the entree leg of the RTTR - a gruelling test for any bicycle.

For the Handmade Bicycle Show Australia, Jimmy featured two rigs.  A gravel bike and this süper sweet singlespeed MTB.

The bones of it are a fillet brazed Columbus Zona frame, with Paragon dropouts - and an awesome arsenal of components.  Industry 9, Hope Tech, Whiskey, Praxis, and THAT Intend stem by Cornelius Kapfinger.

Paint by Velocraft is divine and comes alive in the natural light.
