The frame archive

Every frame we build is photographed and logged before it leaves. Six of the thousand, chosen by the shop, are on open display here.

No. 0012009

The gold track bike

The first frame out of the garage on Tannery Row. Dented head tube from a crash in 2011 that we declined to straighten; the owner asked us to leave the story in the metal.

No. 2142019

The decade Strada

Built for a rider who has now owned it eleven years and counting. Repainted once, in the same colour, because the sun did its work honestly.

No. 5002022

The orchard century

A Strada Lunga built for the fiftieth rider to complete the Millrace Hundred. Painted orchard gold with a hand-lettered seat tube.

No. 6172023

The borrowed lug

One lug in this frame came from a scrapped 1952 frame donated to the shop. We polished it and left the old stamp visible under the head badge.

No. 7772024

The seven sevens

Commissioned by a rider who wanted every tube length to end in seven. The geometry sheet took longer than the frame.

No. 10002026

The thousandth

A Strada Lunga in the exact red of our first poster. It left in August with a brass plate under the bottom bracket and a standing invitation to visit.

Do you have a Rivet & Road frame?

Send us the number under the bottom bracket and we will tell you what we know from the ledger: build date, paint code, the fitting sheet if the original rider released it. (On this demo site, that form is decorative.)
