Meet the Maker: Ricky Feather video

Bespoked Bristol (12-14 April) is fast approaching (watch for our preview this weekend) and ahead of the show the organisers are revisiting their popular Meet the Maker video series from past couple of years, and the latest heads to York to visit Ricky Feather.

In this video Ricky Feather, aka Feather Cycles, talks about the inspiration that got him into the frame making business, the sort of bikes he makes and how he approaches each build. He also remarks on winning the Best Road Bike (with this Rapha Continental build) And Best Track Bike at Bespoked the last two years. And, well a lot more really. We don’t want to give it all away now do we, to hit play on the video below, sit back and enjoy a rare insight into the life of a frame builder.

Okay we will give you another tit bit, he does reveal in the video that he plans to showcase a new Columbus XCr stainless steel frame, with raw brushed finished tubes and polished lugs which sounds just divine. And a Reynolds 953 frame with a similar raw finish, and a randonneur bike with custom racks and custom lights, which he’s excited about. And so are we.
