Roadmachine 01 Mod
Go and find a country road. Wave at the few cars you see. Stop at a gas station and sit on the ground to stretch. Have people ask how far you're going, and watch their reaction when you tell them. Stuff an assortment of food in your pockets for the last push home, and roll out. The click of your shoes into your pedals an affirmation. You are connected to this bike. It is a part of you.
Our latest build, and the first of 2023. A BMC Roadmachine 01 Mod frameset with a 1 piece carbon cockpit, SRAM Force AXS drivetrain, and house built wheels.
The Process
We started as we always do ... with measurements and conversation. Our client quickly decided on a Roadmachine frame for the endurance geometry, and we put together a quote for a build that would reflect the quality of the frame. The Industry Nine hubs were a splurge, but we reckon they’re a worthwhile one.
Knowing that the frame kit comes with a one-piece bar and stem, we then created the exact measurements on our fit bike, to ensure that we ordered in the appropriate stem length and bar width. We also confirmed that the overall fit would put the rider in a balanced position.
Things were ordered.
We built the frame to 90%, then proceeded with a final fit and saddle selection, before trimming the steer tube, wrapping the bars, and delivering the bike with a walk through of the electronic shifting system.
This is what Bicycle House was created to do, and it’s a process we love.
