Road Bike

I built this bike during my first frame building course at Downland Cycles. During the course I learnt the filet brazing technique. Even though the process is labour intensive, I wanted to master this method because it allows to create beautiful filets.

Although the construction technique is traditionnal, I wanted to build a modern road bike from the geometry to the handling or even the tapered headtube blending nicely with the forks.
