Custom Steel Bicycle All Road Bike: The Complete Build

A handmade custom steel bike has been a dream of mine for many years. Expert frame builder John Fitzgerald of Fitz Cycles in Santa Rosa, California will be fabricating the frame and accessories. The goal is to create a bike suited to long distance self-supported rides with clearance for large tires, but also light enough for mixed terrain races. The design will draw on inspiration of the classic French Constructeur style bikes with integrated racks, fenders, and lights. What I love most about these kinds of bikes is how they open the door to a multiple of ride options. No longer are you confined to a specific type of ride. These kinds of bikes allow you to craft up any route, on any surface, with only your imagination as the limit. Is it a mountain bike, a gravel bike, or a road bike? It's really hard to categorize a bike like this, so it's often called an "all-road" bike. Please join along as I take you with me on this next chapter in Henrywildeberry's two wheeled world.
