FUSTLE X DONARD COLLAB | EPISODE 2

Have you always wanted to build your own bike frame?

We decided that we wanted to add a steel version of our award winning Causeway frame and that it would be great to partner with some other local talent right here in Northern Ireland in the form of Owen Byrne from Donard Bikes.

In the 2nd episode we travel to the hills of Gilnahirk just above Belfast City to visit Johnny Bradley of Elite Refinish. Johnny has been a friend of our for many years has helped us paint bike frames, helmets and vehicles since our early involvement in the cycle industry over a decade ago.

Elite Refinish were the perfect choice when we were looking to establish a partner to help us finish these limited edition frames and we have grand plans to work with them on many more projects in the future. To see some of their previous work, check out the Martini Racing bike that they painted for us earlier in the year: https://www.ridefustle.com/blogs/news...

For this episode, sit back and enjoy as we bring the frame through shot blasting and frame preparation, through to priming, painting and then finishing off with a silver leaf for the branding which should match perfectly to the Shimano GRX Limited Edition groupsets that will adorn the bikes when they are built.

We will be releasing these bikes as a limited batch on a first come first served basis, and all enquiries should be submitted to us via email to hello@ridefustle.com

Stay tuned for the 3rd episode where we will be building the finished bike and planning its first big adventure in the new year.
