Steel. Always steel
// Reynolds 853, Columbus Spirit, Dedacciai Cromor. No carbon, no titanium, no aluminium. Steel rides better, dents quietly, repairs cleanly. Steel outlives carbon.
// A two-stand bike-workshop in a former tile factory on Beaconsfield Street. Hand-brazed steel road, gravel and touring builds. Restoration of vintage steel. A small parts shelf of considered components. Six bikes per quarter. No carbon. No exceptions.
// Reynolds 853, Columbus Spirit, Dedacciai Cromor. No carbon, no titanium, no aluminium. Steel rides better, dents quietly, repairs cleanly. Steel outlives carbon.
// Build slots open quarterly. Six bikes. Six riders. No catalogue. Every build is brief-led, pencil-drawn, and brazed in sequence. Cancel any time before braze-up.
// Every build starts with a two-hour briefing. Routes, contact points, the kind of weather you ride in. The build only starts when the brief is right.
// Every frame is jigged, measured, and hand-mitred in the workshop. No factory tubeset. No CNC. Brazed silver-fillet — the slowest joint, the strongest joint.
// Every UNDERCUT bike comes with a lifetime annual service. We will see your bike back every year. We will straighten it. We will keep records.
The classic touring saddle. Honey, antique brown, black. Broken-in option available for an extra $80.
Stainless polished 31.8 clamp. The bar UNDERCUT specs as standard on every road build.
Quill or aheadset. Hand-polished. The kind of stem you keep for forty years.
110/74 BCD double. Made in Petaluma, polished, and built to be re-bushed. Lifetime crank.
Sealed bearings, polished stainless. The hub UNDERCUT laces into every touring build.
Hand-made supple, fast, comfortable. Standard. We lace UNDERCUT gravel wheels for these.
Waxed canvas, made-to-measure. The bag we ship with every touring build.
Dynamo-light. The light UNDERCUT specs on every touring & gravel build. Standby on.
// Trained at the Bohemian Bicycles framebuilding school, Portland (2016–17) and bench-mentored under Mark di Nucci, Petaluma (2017–19). Builds since 2019. Twenty-eight UNDERCUT bikes on the road.
// Sam handles every build personally. Mitres, brazing, alignment, paint-prep. The paint goes to Sean Sweet in Surry Hills. Everything else lives at the workshop.
// New build briefings open in the first week of each quarter — six slots per quarter, six builds per quarter. Briefings are two hours, on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons. Restoration work is taken year-round.
