Royal H Cycles

Ethan’s Road

Bryan — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 20:58:09 +0000

A road bike in the classic sense of the word- light and lugged. Full SRAM force group with Nitto stem and pillar. The re-issued Turbo saddle ties it all together. New drivetrain on a classic lugged frame- fast, smooth, and easy on the eye. This frame also features the new RHC seatstay caps.

Bianca’s Italian Road

Bryan — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 19:20:25 +0000

This was a real theme bike- Bianca wanted something classic and distinctly Italian. The steel Italian frames from the 80′s and 90′s are probably my favorite bikes ever, so this was a real dream. Several things were an absolute must off the bat- Columbus tubing, Campagnolo drivetrain, Luongo N.O.S. lugs (with Italian threaded bottom bracket, naturally), internal brake routing, and front derailleur braze on mount, Cinelli brake bridge and fork crown, for starters. “Coffee Milk” accent color beautifully realized by Brian Chapman of Circle A Cycles.

Jamie’s Deluxe Rando

Bryan — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:37:55 +0000

A feast for the eyes- a decked out randonneuring bike that isn’t afraid to look good. Disc brakes are mounted to Paragon low-mount rear dropouts for a clean look that keeps the calipers out of the way of the fender struts. Stainless steel lugs and seatstay caps were brought to a satin finish and left bare. Cable routing to the rear brake runs internally for an especially clean look. Paint was handled by the very talented Jordan Low (Seven Cycles), and features matte and gloss finish, as well as verrigated gold leaf graphics and seat tube panel. The bike is solidly functional as well- a Columbus SL tubeset, SRAM Force kit, and Velocity wheels ensure this bike can perform. Currently roaming the roads and off-roads of Australia.

Marcus’s Touring

Bryan — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:24:18 +0000

marcus wanted a bike that could do it all, and this is by far the most versatile royal h. it’s not just as an exercise in versatility either- in addition to being his around town bike, he wanted to undertake a pan-american tour with it. thus, drum brakes/internal gears/fenders/belt drive and s&s couplers on the same machine. but also cantilever brakes and a spoke carrier and all the rack/fender mount combinations you could dream up. the lugs got a little handworking, but the graphic scheme stayed reserved. best not to draw to much attention when you’re pedaling the entirety of the americas…

Jim’s 650b Rando

Bryan — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 02:26:20 +0000

jim’s part of an elite group of cyclists who own two royal h bikes. i also think he is the only one. his second bike bike was a collaboration with Lovely Bicycle, who gave me all the information for the frame’s design, color scheme, and components. i was able to make some flourishes too- most notably the internal routing of the generator hub (through a special dropout and inside of the fork leg). the frame is a low trail 650b randonneuring machine that can light its own way and carry as many sandwiches and brandy bottles as a randonneur would want to carry, all in comfort and stability.

Jim’s Stainless Commuter

jim first called me interested in a bike he could do some shoreline riding with. we settled on a stainless tubeset for a rust free frame and went from there. internal brakes and gearing kept the elements further at bay. an upright riding style, but this bike’s no slouch. i got to ride it a bit in nyc, and it definitely can bob and weave with the traffic. thanks to Lovely Bicycle for collaborating with the paint scheme.

Jane’s Road

Bryan — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:28:10 +0000

this is a bike i made to replace my aunt’s ill-fitting road bike. the goal was to ease strain to the neck and ischial tuberosities. the result was a fast handling, quick climbing road bike with an elevated cockpit and rotated grip position for a more comfortable ride. fillet brazed head tube, carbon fork, and full apex group round out the package.
