Monday evening Boiler Room held an with Red Stripe-make session 007 and 14 Bike Co, at a secret location in East London. Everything that night was broadcasted live, meaning the whole event was filmed live and available for anyone to watch online. There were four DJs playing live back to back; XXXY, Steve Braiden, Midland and Paul Woolford. Andy Ellis built up five special Red Stripe bikes (one for each of the DJ’s) on the stage behind the DJ set and we also had Ted James doing welding. And did I mention the free beer? What a great night!
A packed room as I arrived.
Andy on stage as the crowd watched intently
Yeah, I think they like the music or Andy just finished building one of the bikes.
Here is one of the finished DJ bikes.

We would like to thank Red Stripe and Boiler room for letting us take in this project and making it happen. Remember to drink responsibly and don’t drink and ride!

We’ve just finished our first 14R frame of the year and it’s a real beauty! The colour is signal yellow which looks especially good if the sun is out like today. This frame is being sent out to Slovakia next week.
These pictures were taken by Andy.

Impetus Momenta took place last night at south bank center, with a decent amount of people showing up.
It started with Andy talking about the history of fixed bike and how it all began, with Ty from the foot down telling a funny story on how he got into fixed bike and why he does his blog. Ted came out talking about his love for building bikes and the technical parts of it. Jonathan showed us some photos that he took from the last four years around the fixed gear scene and how it all grew. Patrick closed off the talk by showing us two films that he has done this year. One of them was the full length feature of Asmawa and the other one was his new video, Galibier.

As you may know, 14 Bike Co announced the production of the 14R Track/Low-pro a couple of months ago…
At Bespoked Bristol we displayed the first two prototypes of each model, one of which was Mikey Ramirez’s 14R Low-pro,
which both had blanks of the well known 14R drop out fitted. After the Bespoked show we talked to Royce, (who make some
of the finest track hubs on the planet among other components) and as a result of this, Royce agreed to
produce the 14R drop outs for us.
These are the only drop outs Royce have ever agreed to produce. We gave them the basic drop out design and asked
them if they could make any improvements. The main improvement is the on the reverse of the 14R dropout, Royce have
managed to mill out a fair bit more of the 316 stainless steel than the original drop outs. Whilst adding a touch
of typical Royce detailing.
“I’m stoked to have been able to work with Royce on the 14R Drop outs. These are not just lifeless pieces of stainless steel anymore, they have had more attention to detail put into them than any other track
drop out I know of…” Æ
If you have already ordered a 14R then your bike will include the Royce drop outs at no extra cost.
The 14R Track/Low Pro frame will come with Royce drop outs as standard from now on.
14R Track / Low Pro (frame only) – £795.00
14R Reynolds 853 Aero Frame with Royce Stainless 316 Steel Drop outs: £795.00
Fork Options:
Fork option No.1: Alpina F04 Carbon 1 1/8th Track Fork £99.99
Fork option No.2: Alpina Wing Pista Carbon Monocoque 1 1/8th Track Fork £249.99
Forks will be painted in 14R Matte Black to match your 14R frame. (Any other colour will cost extra on top of the retail price)
If you would like to order a 14R or have any questions, please email: info@14bikeco.com

(14R and Andy Ellis image via JW)
With a few days of sunny weather it really is a treat to be able to work outside. The top photograph depicts one
of our 14R’s pre-paint shop. It’s practically good enough to ride like that so I’m looking forward to the first raw
finish with a clear lacquer. The second image is of Andy Ellis building himself a wheel-set. Andy Ellis is the brains
behind our 14R, so it’s really great to have him as part of the 14 family.
Summer is almost here so be sure to leave yourself enough time for ordering the 14R’s.
