ucycles custom builds fixed-gear bike with ghisallo wood wheels

ucycles is a young italian workshop that specializes in producing customized bicycles. their ‘UCY12F1’ model is a result of a client requesting a fixed-gear bike with disc brakes on the rear wheel. the design has a vintage aesthetic expressed through its steel welded frame that has been oxidized to an aged-looking green, protected with a double-coat of varnish.

 the ‘UCY12F1’ is handmade from luxury components and comes equipped with MKS pedals, cromor columbus tubing, a crank lever and brakes by paul component engineering, a bottom bracket by phil wood and a swallow saddle by brooks. but, the feature standout is its wheels that are made from metal and ghisallo wood.
