These are by far the most beautiful custom frames I’ve ever seen! Icarus frames are built out of the Fringe location in Sumerville, MA (check Fringe out on the post below). They are all very specific to the customer and highly custom! Very clean and beautiful lines!

Here is one of my favorite. Check out more HERE.

“Welcome to 2012! The future has become the present. Heavy.

We had a great year. We expanded our shop and staff, led dozens of group rides, participated in a couple bicycle marriage proposals, laminated thousands of spoke cards, made a couple movies, built loads of beautiful bikes and so much more.

We’ve put together a gallery of great moments to relive with you. Thanks for all your support in 2011, best wishes for 2012.” – Mission Bicycle Company

I really like Mission Bicycle Company and what they provide to the cycling community.  Each bike is unique to the person building it.  They allow customization on a very “piece-by-piece” basis.  Here is a preview of some sweet bike photos from Mission.  Click HERE for more!  Enjoy!
