January 26, 2012
What do you ride when you’re seven? A BMX from Halfords? A child-specific design from a specialist bike company like Islabikes? A bike that’s too big to ride because your dad said you’d grow into it? What if your father builds titanium bicycles for a living?
Jim Zoellner of Roark Custom Titanium Cycles built this beautiful bike for his daughter, Juliana.
The wheels are milled from solid discs of aluminium, the rear doing a very graceful job of incorporating a SRAM i-Motion hub gear.
