Week eight at the Parra Top-Up shop sees a suitably Dutch collaboration as they’ve produced a colourful custom bike frame in conjunction with Colossi Cycling as well as a seriously sexy bike lock with Viro Italia. Founded by former professional cyclist Jan Kole, Colossi make frames for some of Europe’s most famous bike brands with a genuine passion for producing rather special custom hand-built frames. On this particular bike the frame and fork are made from Columbus SL double butted tubing whilst the lugs are microfusion lugs and itss silver brazed with the tubing all done by hand as well as the polishing. Available from today any size can be made (as it’s hand-made) so for every frame a drawing will be made to the size of the customer which of course takes a little time meaning your amazing custom-made bike will be shipped around 8-10 weeks after ordering. You’d have to take this for a spin around the Dam if you got one wouldn’t you? ‘Godverdomme! ‘as they say (when you ride past them on a well cool bike) in the Netherlands.
