gutterbikes

Bee from Melbourne-based @gutterbikes received a SRAM Inclusivity Scholarship at BESPOKED Dresden this year and used it to build exactly the kind of bike they believe in. A rigid, full steel “cockroach bike,” designed to be simple, repairable, and made for the people. The build even received a notable mention at the very prestigious @bicyclepubes end-of-year awards🏅 “Just like the cockroaches that will survive our world’s demise, 26 ain’t dead, not even close,” concludes @johnprolly . If we’re heading into a new year (or an apocalypse), this feels appropriate. #stokedforbespoked #custombikes 📹 @stenjdm cover @alexej.fedorov 📍BESPOKED Dresden ‘25

still waiting on the cognitive dust to settle on a wild time at @bespoked.cc Dresden last month. i'd love to put some thoughts together on the whole experience, but in the meantime here are some gorgeous photos from @spencerjharding of @theradavist and a long (but not exhaustive) list of the people who helped get both builder and bike over to the continent thanks of course to @bespoked.cc and @srammtb for continuing to support diversity in framebuilding @loop.cycles as always for the chin scratching engineering & design discussions, generous use of late night workspace, and the fully sik TIG action on those stainless bars the incredible network of local makers, brands, shops and personalities that were able to help out in ways big and small. @_chatterbags @offcourse.bike @matangog @themillbrew @oriettes__jockstrap @klite_dynamo_power @cycloretro @trek_brunswick @sram_australia @scvimports the beautiful collection of new friends made along the way! sometimes I forget how cute bike world is but meeting so many of you in germany has been a great reminder that 1) everyone knows everyone lol and 2) pushies bring the loveliest folks together. you're all a bunch of sweethearts and every friend/family member/lover/enemy/stranger who's made it known that they froth the vision, or chipped in for a tee or a fistful of stickers over the years love youse all bee x

We had to keep the good times rolling after @bespoked.cc Much love to @munrowheels for organizing the entire thing and being the best host.

From Naarm/Melbourne, Bee (they/she) @gutterbikes has spent a decade breaking down barriers in the bike world. A transgender, non-binary framebuilder, they’ve built spaces for FLINTA* and queer riders while crafting tough, playful rigs for life beyond the city. Bee brings their vision of accessible, low-impact adventure bikes to @bespoked.cc Dresden on Oct. 10-12th. Video by @itsjaejones #SRAM

all done on a cheeky little midwinta rebirth of this ‘cuda. we love a classic ATB build; destined for plenty of cruisy commuting with a bit of bikepacking and touring pedigree should the mood arise and who doesn’t love an accent colour and some shapely profiled tubes to really tie everything together??

chuffed 2 bits now that em’s beautiful new wheels have hit the road. the design brief was a light, fast frame to be the weekday workhorse but capable and fun enough for plenty of more exciting adventures. it’s been out for a couple of rides to work before a cheeky overnighter out to toolangi over the weekend, so we’ve got to consider that full marks all round - SPECS frame: fillet brazed Columbus tubing, anodic bronze powder fork: Surly Midnight Special headset: tange terious dx-4 wheelset: DT Swiss XR391 to Hope Pro 5s via DT comps tyres: gravelking ss+ 650x48 bars: renthal 5.0” trials stem: Salt Pro topload brakes: shimano MT-500 drivetrain: shimano deore 1x11s w Wolftooth chainring - #handmadebike #naarm #gutterbikes #allterrainbike #ratbike #bikepacking #vintagereborn #discbrakedirectory #4130society #savetheratbike #4130 #madeinnaarm #bike #bicycle #cycling #steelisreal

stacks o’ racks making their way out of the workshop this month! we’ve just finished up this custom chromo front rack to complement nate’s gorgeous mongoose iboc build. it bolts up directly to his new @stridsland_journal barnacle fork, with bonus light mount and antique silver powdercoat for the form x function this bike deserves - - - - - #handmadebike #naarm #gutterbikes #localbikeshop #lbs #allterrainbike #touringbike #cargobike #ratbike #bikepacking #vintagereborn #discbrakedirectory #4130society #savetheratbike #4130 #madeinnaarm #bike #bicycle #cycling #steelisreal #supportlocal #supportqueer #fabrication

we had so much fun working with the team at @thepedla to come up with the loudest, most obnoxious kit we could imagine. we reckon we’ve given it a pretty good crack if you need an eye catching wardrobe centrepiece for the summer, these little numbers are light, comfy and oh so breathable. you can find them at gutterbikes.com (stock is very limited so don’t miss out on the fun) huge thanks in particular to @techno_biking who not only helped get this custom order rolling, but also took these gorj happy snaps for us 💕💕
