Hey Guys,

Another Blacksmith Cycle build for you.
This time a Scapin Ivor custom geometry beauty.
Truly a killer combo of stiffness and comfort.
This is basically half way between a monocoque and a tube to tube bike.
Very unique construction method, called TT Matrix.
I'll be building my own Ivor custom soon ;)

Campy Record EPS, LW Gen III's, 3T Stealth all-around...

wow! I like everything about that save the spacer stack and the battery placement.

What an odd place to put the EPS Fiat 500!

EPS Fiat 500! Hahahaha. That made me chuckle.
I too am a bit troubled by that placement. The lines otherwise are so clean and elegant.
Surely there is a means to cobble the EPS 'magic wand' battery into the seat tube, no?

Thanks, Guys.
Hidden batteries will start becoming more available for EPS and we will move in that direction for most builds.
As for the spacer stack, it's only the top-cap and 2 x 5mm spacers, so pretty dialled for the first day.
I usually prefer to have people wait a few rides - at least - before slamming that stem.

I am a big sucker for these Ivors.
I rode one on our UnFondo Ride last year and it was just very solid without being too stiff.
I'll likely be doing my own custom geometry version in one of these two sexy colors, with aero non-isp setup.

I am tempted to go neon yellow but think I'll resist.

Best,

Wow. That first version is interesting, but the second version is perfect.
