Crumpton Cycles

Nick, nice new website. Simple to the point.

I am digging the carbon dropout on the T5 ultralight

About fu...ng time Nick, I've been checking every week for the last 3 years for some new Crumpton porn. Nice work.

Not at this time. Always keeping my eye on developments in the industry and watching this one closely but i personally haven't felt the need to put disc on my primarily race/performance focused road bikes.



Not enough volume of cutting going on here to justify this. proper cutters are in the $50k plus range and are saddled with expensive maintenance contracts as they do tend to go down a lot. Must cutting for our purposes is straight cuts, no contours. Easily done with stainless guides, rules, HUGE cutting mat and sharp blades.

Hey nick

Manor Grand Prix Racing Limited T/A Marussia F1 Team

Theres ply and alignment eddy current testing all up for sale, I will be keeping an eye on it tomorrow its a team I worked for so am familiar with it, only 5 years old

Just in case you had some money under the bed

[crumpton]

given a choice i'd rather the larger Stratsys and the Cimco Romer.

that Romer replaces your alignment table and all measuring bits associated. wouldn't that be cool? just a solid mounting point and record points till your are blue in the face.

The stratasys 400 went for 50 gs the faro went for more than the new on I just bought, that was weird

Lately I feel like my past deserves more of my own attention. If we don't know where we have been, how do we know where we are going?

For some reason I felt the need to reiterate my closing SO statement today.

Why is it so quiet in here? The Crumpton was relegated to Zwift duty during the lock down and stayed in the Paris Roubaix configuration since last April. Today I put the hyperon back on and rode it. Absolutely fantastic bike. This thing is so smooth, feels so light, accelerates so well but as the same time feels stiff and solid. A complete winner. At one point I was about to list it for sale. This would have been totally moronic. If anybody needs a custom carbon bike this is the place to go.

I think things become unfashionable after a couple of years. In my opinion, a classic will always be a classic and Nick has the right formula.

[Lionel]

Yeah, can't believe this bike is 8 years old. Feels perfectly "current" to me without wide fucking clinchers, electronic shifting or disks.

These wheels completely rule as well.

[Too Tall]

When it is right it is so right. Same here, I've got a few bikes that will never leave my favor. Mr. Crumpton has game. Someday before the end of the world....

[mjbabcock]

Had my new (to me) Crumpton out for a long ride Sunday. Absolutely perfect.

That's actually a good summary !

I think you have been talking about getting a Crumpton since before I got mine :) This was 8 years ago.

Blame my parents? Blame anything. My guilt for owning so many fabulous bicycles is crushing me. Find me some worthy tall circus freak so I can let a few go first. I've looked, it ain't easy to pass on your cherished handmade bicycles....well that's me.

Well of course. Resale is a complete nightmare.

[Andrew R Stewart]

Yes, it's hard to let go of an old friend. And if you are the builder it's more like passing on a child. I have a few of my bikes/frames that I would love to find a proper home for... but am convinced I won't. Andy

Thank you for those kind and encouraging words!

Man I am so stoked that bike is out there and being ridden. When I saw that one come up... if that TT had been a tad shorter I'da bought it back for myself.

Enjoy it!
