It’s not like anyone needs more than a single bicycle — particularly more than one of a particular style — but these Kogswell bicycles are just beautiful. I like the fact that they sell the frame and fork, and you (or a builder) adds the rest of the parts to complete your ride. It may not be any cheaper, but it’s bound to be an interesting experience.
However, I’m reminded of my co-worker who started to work on a custom-built PC today; he’s going to spend hours and in the end will have something useful, but a bit finicky, and will have lost hours (perhaps days) to an unnecessary process. I prefer to purchase a computer in finished form, and while I may admire a bicycle assembled from ideal parts, the fact remains: I’ll never build one for myself.
