About this bike
This Icarus was made for the track. When I first started talking to Ian, I told him that I wanted it stiff. With a mix of standard and oversized tubing, to the lowered seat stays, this bike is meant to be ridden fast and It knows it.
As far as components go, here is a list.
– Handlebars: Nitto 123AA
– Stem: Nitto Jaquar
– Headset: DA 7410
– Crankset: DA 7700
– Chain: Izumi V
– Wheels: DA 7600 laced to Araya 16B
– Cog: EAI superstar
– Seatpost: DA
Awesome
Awesome indeed. Did you hire a studio for these shots??? The bar for boutique bike shots is being raised towards the roof .. ;)
These Icarus frames are beautiful! The welds and radiused joints are enough of a reason to drool.
Congrats!
Heya folks,
Lucky for me, my shop is in a big warehouse and one of the other occupants is a photographer so I have started to have him take nice shots when local riders get them built up.
The joints are all fillet brazed. A classic technique that gives an ultra smooth finish to the joints without the restriction of lug angles or sizes.
So beautiful!
