Well, it’s that time of year again. The The Spoken Custom Bicycle Calendar is now live and available for purchase and/or download. I’m especially proud of this issue, because it truly features some of the best custom bicycle frame builders from all over the world, captured by some of the world’s best bicycle photographers.
There’s bikes by some familiar names and some you may never heard of, but they’re all handmade by builders who are very passionate about their craft. They may not have been the most popular bikes on the site, but they’re the perfect cross-section of what The Spoken is all about: Beautiful, varied bikes and great photography.
Throughout the next year, you can enjoy some of the best work by builders such as Australia’s Baum Cycles, Sheffield’s Field Cycles, Italy’s Giovanni Pelizzoli, Japan’s Cherubim, America’s John Slawta, Geekhouse Bikes, Ezra Caldwell of Fast Boy Cycles and more—photographed by Andy ‘Fame and Spear’ Rogers, John ‘Prolly’ Watson, Eric ‘Ride Metal’ Baumann and Brian Vernor.
The Calendar is saddle-stitched, printed onto 80# FSC-certified paper stock, and measures 16.5” x 10.75” (41.9 x 27.3 cm) when opened. If you live in the US or Canada you’ll have four shipping options to choose from, and most overseas orders will be dispatched via USPS Priority Mail International.
The layout is understated and easy to read with elegant typography. Check the page-by-page preview here and if you like what you see, get your order in. You’ll be able to enjoy the best of The Spoken in 2013 even when you’re not at your computer. Presented in association with Treadlie Magazine.
