The first video this week is something that’s far removed from what we’ll be teaching at The Bicycle Academy or what almost any other frame builder does, but it’s amazing…

Learn how ExoGrid bicycles from Holland Cycles transform what you know about custom bike frames. Hand Crafted precision meets cutting edge technology producing the perfection you deserve.

Second up, laminate wood handlebars from woodOOcycles, simple but really really nice.

Finally something really exciting that I know you’ll all be interested in – a cheap adjustable frame building jig that’s being started as a crowd funding project. Our TBA jigs will be different to this but we like what they’ve done. I’ve enquired about shipping charges to the UK so will let you know once I do.

The Jiggernaut is an affordable bicycle frame jig that enables anyone to build a high-quality, custom bicycle.

A frame jig is an essential tool for building bike frames. There are some jigs on the market today, but most are designed with the production builder in mind and are well beyond the budget of the average person that just wants get started in bicycle building. We didn’t want this hurdle to stand in the way any longer. We have designed and built a high-quality frame jig that is affordable to anyone wanting to try their hand at frame building.
