This is the second of my Carrier builds for @bespoked. This build won the @gritcx award for drop bar off-road bike.
The Carrier is designed to be a versatile bike: the bike for most people, most of the time. By taking off the @berthoud_cycles mudguards, the Carrier will fit up to a 2.2” tyre, opening up bikepacking and off-road touring, green lane exploring and fireroad bashing.
I can build your Carrier with geometry for drop or flat bars, keeping my front load steering geometry.
This build shows the Carrier without the rear saddlebag support, with the rear dynamo light cable pushing back inside the seat tube and the light mounting to a tab, tucked safely between the seat stays.
The Carrier frame, fork, stem, f&r racks, mudguards and lights are available to order now, for £2100. More info is on my website (link in bio!) I’m at Bespoked all weekend, so do stop in if you can and see this bike in person and order your own.

@bikepackingcom have just put up a report of the Carrier builds that I showed @bespokeduk
I’m so proud of the Carrier: it’s the clearest manifestation of my ideas about how bikes can be that I’ve made yet, and I’m stoked that Cass took some time to document the bikes amongst all the glitter and chaos of Bespoked.
My order book is open for Carrier orders, with around a 2 month wait.

@bespokeduk is coming to a close for another year shortly. It’s been a real pleasure seeing people’s responses to The Carrier, and I’m stoked with my awards from @gritcx and @bikeradar
I’ve been hugely supported by some other amazing companies this year, so I wanna give a massive shoutout to @coloral1947 @whiteind @brooksengland @extra_uk @berthoud_cycles @lionbellworks and @ryanbuildswheels
Cheers everyone!

Shinichi Konno - Cherubim - Bike designer
Shinichi-San’s father creates the company that he’s now running. This company was created in order to provide specific bikes to his uncle who uses to run in the Olympics. Nowadays Shinichi-San creates full custom bikes and want to challenge the conventional forms of bikes. The main difficulty in this purpose is that with a car you can shape the body car as you want but you don’t have this opportunity with Bikes so you have to think the whole thing differently.

So @bespokeduk began today. And it went really well. The Carrier builds went down well and I won the @gritcx award for bikepacking/off road drop bar bike, and the @bikeradar award for urban/load carrying bike. I’m beyond stoked. The show is open all weekend, come on by, place your orders now!
