Wasn't Morph a known terrorist leader? Oh no, that was Chad...

There’s an explanation on the website but a few things I think, amongst others they’re expensive by nature but also low margins and a few ‘customers’ have initiated builds and then dropped out.

Someone I used to ride with a while ago found one in his saddlebag about 15 to 20 years after the name change! It was hi ‘emergency food’ that he never ever needed..

Re this post, just found out that Feather are doing 50 more bikes and then that’s it. No more.

Ah that’s a shame. I didn’t get to speak to him this year at the show so assumed being at the show meant all was well.

Yes, I’ve not seen a Feather bike that doesn’t look great. Obviously people will like different colour schemes but the finish, detail and craftsmanship are awesome.

I don’t think aesthetics is a thing with track bikes! They pretty much only need to be fast. Although the finish on the frame was flawless.

Aye! Will accelerate fast, but also need more pedalling than I have energy for!

The only wooden bike at the show - the Axalco. Wooden and bamboo bikes ride really well, even if they seem like a ‘look at me I’m different’ product.
I don’t understand the ‘bio-graphene’ thing, need to look it up…

The sadly sold out @starlingcycles.bsky.social Clutch stem. May still win one! If not I swear I will make my own at some point in the future..! Also the Dive 26er. Yes I did say 26er. No you heard right, a 26er. I both do and don’t want that bike!

Hope had their track bike on display and a HB160.
Both are very hard to pick fault with. Absolutely spectacular bikes. Also their carbon cranks seem to be very special. They come out of the mould with no cosmetic finishing required, just machining and alu bits fitting.

I don’t really do road bikes but if I did, feather cycles are perfection… #bespokedhandmadebikeshow

Not done this myself but there was something mentioned on one of the cycling sites about flexible cyanoacrylate glue, which is like a version of superglue. Maybe that might work? Just a kind of educated guess though.

You can hear them from a good way off on a country lane. Even electric ones make a lot of tyre noise.
