Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

I have years of pent-up desire to have a custom frame built for me but for various reasons (primarily revolving around NZ dollar exchange rates) I have never pulled the trigger, given my creditcard details and taken my place in a builder’s queue.

Mick did though, and after 9 months of waiting his amazing Llwellyn arrived from Darrell.  I was lucky enough to build the wheels and to help Mick sort out the groupset, parts, and solve the Thomson / 1″ steerer conundrum.

The bike is Molteni orange with polished dropout faces, seatstay bridge etc.  It’s perfect and I’m very, very jealous.
