My current longer term work in progress Ritchey Outback.

I have most of the parts ready to be built up in real life and eventually getting installed but doesn’t stop me still having a bit of fun with my photoshop mockup.

This week ive been seeing a few custom painted carbon wheels on my instagram feed. Just thought id see how they look paired with the new vittoria gravel tyres and even a cheeky 40mm road tyre.

What do you think? A bit too much or dare to be a bit different?

New year….new project.

Neo retro style Ritchey Outback. Still at very early stage but will chip away at this build over next few months. Using photoshop to help me select the parts i want for this dream gravel build :)

👀 Looking forward to 2026! 👀

My design time has been replaced with daddy time so I do apologise for my slow responses to any work inquiry.

As i work fulltime elsewhere I just struggle to have proper design focus time at the moment. I do take on some challenging projects but not as many as I used to.

I will see how things go over the next few months as baby grows up and hopefully has a consistent bed time allowing me to get back behind the computer.

I have a kids cycling themed book in my head too which I am eager to explore when I get my ipad procreate fired up again too. Soooo many ideas haha

For those who have been patient with me I thank you.

I hope everyone has a great year ahead of you.

😍 I love seeing progress shot of projects I have helped design 😍

This Y1RS will look even faster with the motorsport inspired livery. I cant wait to see it all built up.

Thanks again to for letting me help with the design and for taking my mockup from screen to paint booth 👍

📌 Checking decals are readible, spacing well and help client see where they will be placed on bike before sign off 📌

🤯 Toughest design to date 🤯

I had to take an artists .fischer.art flat canvas piece and recreate it to work on a bike frame. Lots of vector drawing, testing things out on screen and just making it still match the original art vibe.

Kudos to for deciphering my mockup and vector files and creating something truly unique! Big shoutout to for making this happen too.

Can this one be topped for complexity? 🤔

People have been asking where I have been. I’ve been busy buying a house and currently no internet or office set up so design work has been put on hold for a while. Finally out of the rental trap!

😍 New Bike Day 😍

2026 BMC Teammachine SLR Two in Battleship Grey.

Will no doubt be browsing wheels, stem and bars further in the year but feels pretty good as is. …trying to figure out if 30mm tyres will cause issues tho.
