Handsome Cycles for recreational biking
Hi there, just wanted to share some info about a small bicycle company called Handsome Cycles in Minneapolis. I have had just vintage bikes for several years in fact my last brand new bike was in 1987 so it had been 32 years since I actually bought a new bike. This fall I was on the search for a brand new modern bike yet I still wanted steel and not aluminum or carbon frames. I also wanted to support a small US based bicycle company and began my search. I narrowed it down to Detroit Bikes and Handsome Cycles. I think Handsome Cycles has designed some really nice recreational bicycles at a very affordable price. I worked directly with one of the owners Jesse Erickson and he spent time on the phone with me since I am In Indiana and we talked about what I wanted in a new bike and helped me decide on the type of bike and fit I needed. Shipping was only $50 via Fed Ex. My new Handsome She Devil step through 8 speed was built at the beginning of January and shipped to me and I completed the assembly at home.
The frame is 4130 Double Butted Cro-Mo and weighs in at 25lbs for my 52cm frame. I bought new pedals and saddle as I just wanted to upgrade them from the stock saddle and pedals but you can customize and order a different saddle from them. I also added the copper colored hammered fenders that they offer on their website. Their upright handlebars are their own design from their frame builder. https://handsomecycles.com/ https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c24b7c216.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8a47c958e.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ed71e1d3d.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8c15721fa.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a1e81b424.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8a677ded9.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2d6a06f41.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8d5af7f1e.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...79ec762ab.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3a426b7bd.jpeg |

Pretty bike. You made me interested in getting one for myself. The Trek I wanted won't be available for almost a year. I am started to look around at other options. I am curious how you feel about your bicycle purchase now.

The bike looks great! How are you liking the fenders? Any issues installing them? I'm having a tough time deciding between Handsome and PDW.
