snapshots from the world of Royal H Cycles
I’ve been needing one of these for a long time- a proper commuter! And this one is proper- full fenders, reflective rims, switchable generator lights, disc brakes, and slider dropouts so I can run it as a single speed when the Boston winter gets nice...

I’ve been needing one of these for a long time- a proper commuter! And this one is proper- full fenders, reflective rims, switchable generator lights, disc brakes, and slider dropouts so I can run it as a single speed when the Boston winter gets nice and slushy. But first a quick trip to the Philly Bike Expo!

New levels of ambition going on at Royal H Cycles. Never have I seen this much brass dust in one shop. Looking to have this done for the Philly Bike Expo- stay tuned! #filletbrazing #phillybikeexpo

well the new batch of royal h t-shirts are done! not quite in time for any specific holiday, but it’s always a good time to buy a t-shirt, so i’m thinking it doesn’t really matter.

as you can see, they are perfect for wheelbuilding, as well as other activities around the shop. big thanks to rudi for taking me under his silkscreen wing and staying late to churn these out. he is a true champion. also thanks to katty for the shots. if you would like to purchase one of these shirts, send me an email at bryan@royalhcycles.com. right now i have a lot of sizes, but i’ll be honest, i made mostly mediums. they’re $25 shipped. unless you live in another country. then they are $250. just kidding. but they are probably going to be more if you don’t live in the united states. happy holidays!
