Gallery: Reynolds tubing handmade bikes
Handbuilt bikes using UK's greatest tubing
This article first appeared on Bikeradar.
UK tubing manufacturer Reynolds announced last week they would launch a brand new stainless steel general purpose tubeset in the new year.
We thought the arrival of Reynolds 921 was as good a reason as any to pull a gallery together of some beautiful British handmade bikes all rendered in Reynolds' famed tubes. Phil Taylor, a frame builder by trade, but arguably better known as the organiser of the Bespoked handmade bike show, picked some of his personal favourites and gives us a critique of their artistic and engineering merit.
"I like Reynolds tubing because the bikes I had as a kid growing up all had Reynolds," Taylor told BikeRadar. Now I get to make bikes using the same tubing and, as a British frame builder, I like to use UK products where possible."
