Benedict Bicycles
Ben Plowman makes low numbers of rider-specific handcrafted frames. He uses simple lines and geometric designs, drawing on techniques he’s acquired from 20 years making pieces for interior designers and artists. Bicycle design and fabrication is his passion and cycling a way of life. A long time in the planning but made in just 10 days in his Herne Hill workshop, this half and half frameset (£3,000) is for long days and tours. The classy frame’s made from carbon and steel Columbus Spirit tubing.
