Ahead of the grand opening of the House Industries & Richard Sachs show at the Rapha Cycle Club NYC, Jeremy Dunn spoke to Mr. Sachs about the collaboration, bikes, cyclocross and how paint schemes can cause real anxiety… First of all, can you give us a little...

it happens every year, and signals the inevitable and inexorable build towards the biggest anti-climax of the year: christmas. it's as if free rein has been offered to the world's advertising agencies and video directors to either make use of footage that failed...

The name Richard Sachs has always had a familiar ring for me. I can’t explain the whys and wherefores, it’s a name written in stone in my mind, the name of a cycling legend. Imagine building frames, year after year, for 40 years. I know companies that do it, or rather...

With the North American Handmade Bicycle Show starting in just another day, it seems an apropos moment to take a look at a new book about the man who is arguably the most outspoken and iconic practitioner of the frame building craft: Richard Sachs. Nick Czerula spent...

When Richard Sachs, who has been deeply involved in the handmade framebuilding industry since the tender age of 19, came to the first NAHBS show in Houston, he was heartened by what he saw. There was an innocence and a heart to the show, a facilitation of true...

i was brought up with bill bruford. not literally, you understand; he didn't live with me, and we didn't ever go get an ice-cream or anything, but as an aspiring drummer in my early teens, bill seemed to have it sussed as to what constituted appropriate technique,...

few of us will have recourse, or perhaps the need, to being owners of bespoke bicycles, lovingly hand-crafted on our behalf, usually from the finest steels, intended to benefit not only our riding pleasure, but usually that of our sense of the aesthetic. if i might...
