As a longtime lover of custom bikes, PEZ fan Greg from Pennsylvania couldn’t help but get another custom rig when it came time to get a new bike, a Kelly Bedford Custom in a very sharp looking green paint job with Sram Red 22 and Mavic Cosmic wheels.Name: Greg MartiLocation: Pennsburg, Pennsylvania USBike: Kelly Bedford CustomsGroups: SRAM Red 22Wheels: Mavic Carbone 40 ElitePedals: Shimano UltegraSaddle: Ritchey ContrailWeight: 16.5lbs (7.5kgs)When did you buy it?Ordered it in September 2015 and got it December 2016What made you choose this bike? Having ridden custom frames for years, I really respect and love the work of handmade builders. With age and injury, my other frames no longer fit so I decided to get a fit at Fitwerx in Waitsfield Vermont. From there, the talk about a new frame started. I knew of Bedford from his days at Serotta and both designing and building some very famous bikes and lugs.What modifications/additions have you done?None! I ordered it exactly how I wanted it so no reason to change anything yet.What components are you running?SRAM Red. I just really like the SRAM stuff for durability, weight and ergonomics.How many miles/kilometers do you do a year?Around 10k miles. Maybe more. I took three years off the bike from 2010-2013 then started again, so building back up to some masters racing.What do you love about this bike?The fit for my quirky body. The color and the ride are amazing. Also, supporting builders like Bedford means a great deal to me….
