It’s just before Christmas, and Matthew Sowter is about to begin braze welding the CycleLove bike.

Alignments are checked and re-checked. Lugs are filed. A gas torch glows white hot.

And the grin on my face widens even further when I spot that Matthew has decorated his workbench at Saffron Frameworks with CycleLove stickers.

See photos from the first and second days of the build.
