"...Kendziera, the only full-time custom framebuilder in Wisconsin,..."

Not sure if he's the only full-time custom builder, but I know of at least one guy in Kenosha who's trying his hand at it--Brad Wilson of Capricorn bicycles. That front rack and mustache bars are handmade by him as well...

Brad has skill, a good eye & he's an incredible artist to boot.

He cut his teeth at Waterford, no?

I've had my eye on Jonny Cycles for awhile - beautiful stuff! I'd like to see one in person.

Hadn't heard of Capricorn, so thanks for the heads up.

That front rack has as much labor in it as a frame. Very cool!

I dunno...........looks like there should be a hydraulic lever to lower it and then use it as a snowplow.

Or, put more tactfully, that looks a little big to my eye. ;)

Big is good. Think paper route with an art deco slant. I think he's going for that Portuer thang. Certainly not for everyone though.

Yeah, well, some folks carry a LOT of stuff on bikes, and therefore need BIG racks. This is Brad's personal bike, and to give you an idea of how he uses them, below is a picture of him hauling coffee when he worked as a coffee delivery guy for Peace Coffee up here in Minneapolis. Agreed, definitely not for the faint of heart...literally.

Decals aside, that could almost be a Kogswell. It's even painted Kustard, the signature Kogswell color
