Civic

Inspiration

This is the Civic. It was built for my son, who does in-fact, have a wild infatuation with the Honda Civic. This bicycle represents the first frame built by me, without the watchful eye of a master frame builder and teacher. I thought my first bike Lessons was aptly named, but being able to “create your own learning opportunities” is a different experience in the humbling nature of bicycle frame building.

Build details

The build out on this bicycle focused on the best quality on a modest budget. We went with SRAM Apex drive-train and levers. They work great and any part of is easily upgradable as money and ambition become available. TRP Spyre brakes offer great stopping power, and easy maintenance. The wheels are Prime Stagiaire disc. The one big splurge was the Hutchinson Fusion 5 tires.

*Another great thing about this project is sharing the creative experience with my son who did all the photography and image production. Check him out on Instagram.
