Is Kelly Bedford still in business?
Hi all,

I’ve reached out to him through his website, email and Facebook Messenger...crickets.

Does not seem like a great way to run a business. I’m interested in replacing my Ottrott ( now sold ) with a ti-carbon disc bike and the version he makes checks off all the boxes on my list of wants.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

As always, thank you all in advance!

Steve

I know he is in Greenfield Center and lost his son this past year. As far as I know he is still in business, but not entirely sure. Maybe see if you can reach out to Andy Keech?

Reach out to one of the above or Cyclesport, they should be able to help you out if you're looking for a bike from Kelly..
As Hilltopper said, he's had a tough year...

Thanks everyone for your replies!

Been in contact with him. Now it’s all about figuring out how to “get” the wife to “let” me buy a frameset...

Now there's a problem no one here is familiar with.



And you thought tracking down Kelly was the hard part...
