Iden Messenger Bike [commissioned project]

[52cm frame, fixed wheel]

[Gold & Satin Matt Black]


Iden was inspired by early evening rides in Brighton, where cool breeze and light from the south western sky of British coast is magical. Hand crafted from Nervex lugs and Columbus Spirit tubing at Vanguard’s atelier, this ride was specially created for our friend John. Fitted with Aerospoke front and rear rims, a 52:20 gearing ratio (you know we dig big cranks!), nicely fitted ‘E’ brake at the rear and a vintage Radio Flyer handlebar, Iden is setup as a fast and nimble ride in all urban conditions.
