Kelly Bedford Bikes

Just wondering, is Kelly still building bikes? I was just looking for his website to see if anything was new but could not find it. Thanks.

Website is here but it timed out when I tried to connect.

Facebook page is up and includes contact number but last post looks to be dated Dec. 2022. Maybe give him a call?

I know Andy Keech is welding the Serotta bikes. He was welding the titanium frames for Kelly prior to that and may still be?

I spoke with Kelly about a month ago and he is taking orders and building. If you're interested it would be best to give him a call.

I'd like to know if he still has that other refugee from the Serotta factory painting for him.

Kelly painted my frame himself a few years back, so he can do it all if needed. Mine was actually brazed too, so not welded by Andy like the TIG bikes are. It's now off to another Paceliner after quite a lot of awesome miles (its replacement came from Dave Kirk since I wanted a lugged bike)

I'd also reach out to Mike G at Cyclesport in Park Ridge, NJ http://cyclesportonline.com if you're interested in a Bedford. He was the first Serotta dealer back in the day, and the first Bedford dealer when Kelly went off on his own again so he'd be great to work with on getting your new bike from Kelly.

Ah, yeah, I bought my Colorado III from Mike in '02.

Anybody know a good source for deep ocean blue touchup paint, or matching?

Thanks. I already have two Kelly bikes that I love. I used to check his websites from time to time to see what was new. But this time I could not find it.
