The publication presents the designs of six internationally renowned bicycle builders whose embrace of the tradition of working in metal brings striking innovation to their craft. Through their manipulation of steel, aluminum & titanium, the builders of Bespoke produce racing bicycles that speed champion athletes to victory, mountain & cyclocross bicycles built to negotiate vertiginous terrain, urban bicycles that stylishly convey commuters, & randonneur bicycles elegantly stripped down for epic journeys. Candid portraits including builder's inspirations, working methods & bicycles, lavishly photographed in great detail, highlight this exhibition at New York's Museum of Arts & Design. Bespoke offers a rich & intimate view of objects that sit squarely at the intersection of art, design, craft & performance.
Includes:: bicycles by the following builders: Mike Flanigan (A.N.T), Jeff Jones, Dario Pegoretti, Richard Sachs, J. Peter Weigle, Sacha White (Vanilla Bicycles).
