Build by Nick at a weekend workshop! a 1 x 11 system with disc brakes
Nick's t-shirt says "Go Further" and shows a tandem bike. His actual bike says he's already been going — and plans to keep at it.
Weekend workshop build, 1x11 drivetrain, disc brakes, and a mint green fork that adds just enough personality without trying too hard. The orange bar tape picks up that energy, creating accent points that make the natural bamboo pop.
Standing in the garden with that satisfied smile, Nick represents every builder who's completed the process: slightly tired, definitely proud, already thinking about where to ride first.
The 1x11 system keeps things clean — one chainring, eleven speeds, no front derailleur to complicate life. It's the modern default for good reason: simpler mechanics mean less to go wrong and more mental space for enjoying the ride.
The frame construction shows careful lug work: dark flax fibre wrapping the joints, natural bamboo glowing in the sunlight. Two days of concentrated effort transformed into something that'll last years.
The "Go Further" message resonates differently once you've built a bike. It's not just about distance anymore — it's about what you're capable of making, learning, achieving. The bike becomes proof of possibility.
Go further, indeed. The bike is ready. 🎋
