Brazed bike frame

Carbon, Titanium, Aluminum, or Steel? When it comes to bike frames, the debate rages on. Here's what you need to know.

Earlier last week, I showcased that red Cycles d'Autremont road bike and now, his 27.5 hardtail takes the stage. Much like the last bike, Hubert wanted to experiment with a simple, clean fillet-brazed frame. Since it's his own personal bike, he felt that it'd be the perfect platform to test out his geometry and construction. While he was in Arizona visiting family, he got to ride this thing on all his favorite trails. From what I gather, he's pretty stoked on it. After we shredded Pace Bend…

This is a breakaway style frame, disc brake, stainless steel touring bike with 26" wheels, integrated light wiring, mostly collapsable racks, integrated frame bag, polished titanium spork head tube badge, brazed on down tube logo, and so many hours in polishing that it would make your head spin. This is one of two bikes that was in the Portland Art Museum alongside the Cyclepedia Exhibit this past summer, 2013. Take a look at the photos; there is a lot to see.

Giant Killer: The Harris-framed Suzuki sprint bike that beat the factory entries at the Glemseck 101 sprints

What happens when you give a mechanical idiot the tools to build a custom bike frame? That's what I'm about to find out.

This is the bike that really put Ian from Icarus Frames on the map. Well, at least that's what I think anyway. My reasoning? It was one of the first truly over-sized / shaped tubesets he fillet brazed and the Fresh Frame paint job was so loud at the time, that I don't think anyone was coming close to hitting that mark. Seriously, what the hell is up with those chevrons?! When Chris built this up for the 2011 Philly Bike Expo, it had a Dura Ace group and Chris was still working on his…

Kona Roadhouse 2017 Fillet-brazed frame joins

Portland’s @theblandbicycle is unashamedly and unabashedly a hobbyist builder, but his work, photography and writing is utterly exceptional. This is his daughter Mathilda’s first pedal bike, a fillet brazed beauty with paint by @blackmagicpaint, brakes by @paulcomponent and @chriskingbuzz headset. The entire build process was documented on his blog, which is definitely worth a look if you enjoy the craft of the workshop. Full story on Cycle EXIF today.

We all love our lugged steel-framed bikes. But there’s nothing that can compare with a buttery-smooth, fillet brazed frame. Chris’ Road is the latest build from Massachusetts local Nao Tomii, whose predominantly fillet brazed portfolio demonstrates his fixation with files and calloused fingers. Tomii Cycles made an appearance at New York’s recent Bike Cult Show,…

This is a classic mid-90s Bontrager Race with full gussets and frame fittings that are brazed-on rather than riveted. It is built up with off road drop handlebars and is a great climber, however...
