Cicli Bonanno Futomaki Disc ICR – Jan
With Jan we planed his performance project from scratch beginning with a sizing made by our friends at Diagnose Berlin to have the perfect basis for a made to measure frame. With a steel frame, elegant lines and a high level of integration in mind we choose the Cicli Bonanno Futomaki DISK ICR as perfect basis. The Futomaki ICR is the latest evolution of Cicli Bonanno`s road racing frame designed with a focus on performance and high level of integration while utilizing a standard sized head tube, preserving the elegant lines that define the Futomaki!
The handmade in Berlin frame got a matte copper custom color and was build with Shimano Ultegra Di2 parts combined with Rotor Aldhu crankset with proven InSpider Powermeter. Wheels build with Duke Baccara X 42 SLR2 rims laced to Erase hubs with and mix of Sapim CX-Ray/Sprint spokes and copper nipples. The Pro Vibe Aero handelbar is light and streamlined while still ergonomic. The perfectly matching SILCA Sicuro Ti bottle cages are just the tip of the iceberg on a very pleasing project.

Stooge Rambler – Leo
Leo´s Stooge Rambler is an iconic looking bike for sure. Just look at that toptube and fork crown! But its not only good looking with its shiny polished wheels (Industry Nine and SON hub laced to DT Swiss rims with wide Vittoria Mezcal tyres), robust Gevenalle X 11-speed Shimano MTB drivetrain, elegant Middleburn RS8 crankset and matching Velo Orange seatpost/stem combination … but it is actually a very capable and fast adventure bike with massive tyre clearance. The bike is stopped by the probably best mechanic disc brake on market right now: the Growtac! SON headlight and minimal B+M taillight attached to the beautiful Drust light holder make it night proof.

Curve Cycling GMX+ – Carsten
It was time for a another new bike for our long time customer Carsten! This time we are looking for something very off-road capable: The Curve GMX+ steel with tyre width up to 29×3″ was the perfect candidate! We build the bike with purple Hope Tech Pro 5 hubs laced to wide W33i Syntace rims (and purple nipples) and combined them with well proven Vittoria Mezcal tyres. The GRX 1×11 group was combined with a White industries crankset that matches the steel frame beautifully.

Tubus carrier rear and the beautiful Allygn front rack for adding loads to the bike. SON Edelux frontlight and B+M rear light to bring brightness into the dark winter!

The classic looking Stronglight crank is a good match with a steel frame.
