WKNDR

What an absolute beauty Joshua commissioned.

This is the HSG. This frame design has gone through a couple of tweaks following a couple of different variations I’ve built for friends and customers who wanted something specific outside of what I had in mind as a designer, builder and rider for the High Speed Gravel bike.

The frame comfortably fits 50mm tyres and a 44 tooth chainring, and larger with certain cranks which have a slightly wider chain line.

This bike is meant to be nothing other than my interpretation of a modern steel gravel bike. Fast, stable, comfortable and stunning on the eye.

The grandest comes as standard with the ENVE Composites In-Route system and an Chris King Precision Components Aeroset 3 to keep the hoses hidden and save you the hassle of a huge bill every year when the headset needs replacing along with all the hoses re-routed. However, your mechanic will thank you as this cockpit is so easy to route the hoses through regardless.

Josh also upgraded to DT Swiss 180 hubs for his build for some super fast ceramic fun on the trail!

This bike is available as a frameset only or various build kits including SRAM Rival, Force or Red XPLR, Shimano GRX, Shimano Dura-Ace/XTR/Garbaruk combo or Campagnolo Super Record X.

The first WKNDR to be ridden to a podium in a gravel race at this past weekends . Well done .cycles!

I’ve been promising .cycles I would build him a frame one day since he was 10 years old. Finally, it looks like he might have just about stopped growing and so it felt like just the right time to get it done. Zach has been coming out on our VC York club runs since he was 7 years old as the passenger of the tandem with his dad, and later on his own bike as he got stronger. Since then, we have seen him suffer and more recently become the recipients of the suffering as he has grown and become a real talent, gaining multiple national championship titles and subsequently becoming one of the lads in the process.

Zack’s bike is the original WKNDR model, the OMNE. This will carry him over the amazing gravel we have here in North Yorkshire, as well as seeing him through our treacherous winters up north.

I hope you enjoy the bike Zach, and I’ll see you on the gravel ✌🏼

Scott just collected his OMNEi in the UDH variant and a custom colourway. Look how insane the distressed copper leaf looks against the Land Rover Bronze Green!!

This thing is already out on the trail for a big old canal path ride across West Yorkshire.

It’s possibly my favourite OMNEi so far, I often get that feeling of wishing a bike was my own with custom builds, but it’s nice to start getting that same feeling with WKNDR’s.

David collected his custom sized OMNEi a week ago and we were both mega pleased with the outcome of this road oriented 1x example, using a road groupset opposed to the usual gravel setup.

Some nice little touches on this one as a nod to his custom Sturdy, using their jockey wheels to add a little flair and upgraded shifting and drivetrain efficiency to the rear mech. The 1x chainring married up to the Dura-Ace chainset with perfection and to finish off the performance setup, the amazing Assioma Pro Duo pedals are the icing on the cake.

The bike rolls on Gara 38 wheels and 35mm 5000 AS rubber.

There are two more WKNDR builds lined up in the next week or so, and these things are getting better with every bike. I’m really loving the evolution of the builds and introducing some custom paint jobs to them too.

Martin’s OMNE chassis is ready for whatever the weather throws at it!

It’s all happening HQ, stuff mid build, stuff built, stuff painted, bikes going out… super good vibes and tons of productivity right now.
