Studio

A day in the arch

Two fits, one weld, one build and too much coffee. What a Tuesday looks like under Arch 31.

Hana Webb

Early morning in the arch: the studio lights on, a mechanic wheeling a titanium bike in through the glazed door.

08:00, the shutter goes up and the first rider of the day is already outside, bike over one shoulder. Ines puts the kettle on and the markers out.

Front and back

While the fit runs at the front, Tomás is at the back with the argon on, tacking a seat cluster. We try not to grind during fits. We mostly manage.

Home time

17:00 is the last fit. By seven the shutter is down, the frames are on the wall, and somebody’s bike is still on the stand because they couldn’t wait to ride it home.

Read enough? Come and be measured.

Fits start at 08:00, 11:00, 14:00 and 17:00, Tuesday to Saturday.
