About this listen

In this episode, I talk to steel frame builder Gary Woodhouse about the craft of making lightweight, hand-built bicycles. Gary explains how butted steel tubing, simple but ingenious tools, and a highly personal design process come together to create Curtis bikes built for life.

I also reflect on Day Six of my ride: leaving the Devon hills behind, flying through Somerset with a tailwind, and arriving at my parents’ home in Wiltshire — where a post-it note, a cold beer, and a treasured Ercol table combined for a colourful turn for the worse.
