The Great British Shed-Built Tradition: Talbot Frameworks

The Great British Shed-Built Tradition: Talbot Frameworks

Study the custom scene in Great Britain, whether it be cars, motorcycles or bicycles, and you begin to realise that there is a plethora of legendary brands and innovations that have their beginnings in a humble shed. Talbot Frameworks are part of that tradition.

Their Crystal Palace-based workshop began producing bike frames in the 1940s and continued to do so until 2013, when they passed on the torch to Matt McDonough. Office Fontanelli just produced this short video that gives an insight into their philosophy.
