Spoon Customs is a bespoke bicycle manufacturer based in London, UK, founded by Andy Carr in 2014. The company has gained a reputation for creating high-quality, handmade bicycles with a focus on customization and attention to detail.
Andy Carr started building bicycles in 2010 and developed his skills as a frame builder by attending a course at the Bicycle Academy in Somerset. After working for several years at a bicycle workshop in London, he founded Spoon Customs in 2014.
Spoon Customs offers a range of steel-framed bicycles with a nostalgic bent, including road bikes, gravel bikes, and cyclocross bikes. Each bicycle is designed to the rider’s specific requirements, with custom frame geometry and tubing.
Since its founding, Spoon Customs has gained a reputation for its commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. The company has won a number of awards for its bicycles, including the prestigious Bespoke Bicycle Award at the 2017 Bespoked UK Handmade Bicycle Show.
A lot of customers looking for a professional-quality road bike won’t even consider a steel frame for a popular misconception that it is an outdated material. But it’s no antique, steel has stood the test of time and Garry’s new Spoon Customs proves it.
Amongst those unfamiliar with the handmade bicycle industry is a misconception that a custom bike is little more than a fancy paint job. But underneath the fancy paint of the latest Izoard RR by Spoon Customs is also a highly refined road-riding machine.
