MELBURN ROOBAIX → This way

Recently featured in the lead up to the show, Ian Michelson brought a trio of bikes to show.  An all-road, lugged road and this singlespeed mountain bike which got possibly the most patron fingerprints on the top tube than any other.

Taylor’s Mountain Bike started with a pair of brakes - a component long desired, PAUL Clampers.  More PAUL parts accumulated, with the hubs, levers, and he turned to The Lost Workshop to build the singlespeed of his dreams.

Beautiful in its simplicity, a columbus 29er tubeset, tig welded, with an Enve MTB boost carbon fork was finished in ‘Tanya’ Green with a ‘fade to black’ by Velo Craft.  Doesn’t get more metal than that!

This is testament to less being a lot more - fun!
