Originally uploaded by thebicycleescape
Independent Fabrication is now producing FULL custom carbon fiber road bikes. Unlike other builders the lugs are created specifically to match the needs of the bike's owner. This makes the custom options even broader than a lugged steel bicycle. The lugs are formed by Edge in Utah and the frames (of course) are built in house.
