The prototype, and subsequently the number 1 bike in the series, will be made from aluminium. These panels will then be turned into moulds to enable us to produce the remaining 24 bikes in carbon fibre. This is a unique process that captures the hand made design features of traditional metal shaping into a modern, lightweight and strong composite panels. This process also allows us to significantly speed up production, as an example the aluminium rear mudguard below took around 2 days to make, once we’ve created a mould for this it will take 1 hour to lay up in carbon fibre, which is then put in the oven overnight and in the morning we have a millimetre perfect replica of our hand made aluminium part but now in a lightweight and strong carbon fibre panel.
