Reviving the Forgotten: A Scottish Frame Builder’s Journey of Creativity, Sustainability, and Transformation…
I’m Jake from Toronto, Canada and my love for bicycles started at a young age, riding with friends along with my family. My dad is an avid road cyclist so I think his passion for cycling kind of rubbed off on me…
A few years ago, I bought an old Bottecchia Sunkiss for €20 from a guy who was clearing out a yard full of junk (ravaldoni, as we say in Bologna). I didn’t know exactly what to do with it, but it was the only 26-inch bike in my size that I had ever come across, so I decided to try transforming it into a gravel bike to experiment with riding off-road.
