Based yearly in Bristol, Bespoked brings together the most talented frame builders, painters and cycling related entrepreneurs to showcase their talents. From race winning road machines to quirky custom builds, there is a huge range of one-off bicycles to be amazed by.
What was on the menu in 2018? Jon was on the hunt for the new prototype wireless FSA groupset, adjustable integrated aero stem and bar combos and some of the most stunning paint jobs in the business. Not to mention some pretty lary track bikes, plenty of gravel bike setups and some which you can hardly categorise at all!
Check out Dan Craven’s Commonwealth Games Custom Saffron, Argon 18’s Galaxy paint job from Colourburn Studios and a rather glittery affair from Demon Frameworks.

The glitter bomb is over the top.
This should've been an hour long!
ride it like you stole it? not funny at all. how about " i will beat you with a stick if you steal this bike ! " instead ?

Who made those adjusable bars on the Argon?
That track bike with the parallelogram frame just looks like it wants to fold up on itself

3:40 there's nothing more quintessentially english than condescending not knowing the translation/ pronunciation of basic french words (save for maybe colonialism)
I WILL NEVER INVEST MY MONEY ON FSA
Jaegermeister and Chainsaw, not a good combination!
That Prova is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen.
3D printed luggs NICE! Thanks for the update
Those precise welds on the Silca bottle cage are already available on a Blackburn Chicane.
I'm pretty sure everyone agrees on horizontal dropouts being sexy.
Do not smooth welds!………the only people who smooth welds are learning to weld or are just Sh*t at it
Argon 18 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW WOW WOW!!! Tks for sharing
Triple material frame 🤤 and a wooden top tube: class!
Nice one Jon. Awesome video!
Mechanical GPS! You got to do a video on that!
LMAO! Jon wins award for the worst pronunciation of mecredi in history!
Oh, and its only the afternoons kids have off school here in Belgium – with the aim of that period being available for sports – hence the bike brand….
some of those bikes are just plain annoying with how bespoked they are.
8:10 Is that Danny's Classic Bi-Laminate in the back? Simply stunning piece of work!!
That forestry bike is straight insane. Wonder what it's like to ride…
Chopped! #mcm
