Bilenky Cycle Works – Best Road Frame

Stephen Bilenky of Philadelphia has been building bikes for nearly 30 years, in the first 25 of which he focused on making tandem bicycles. His award winning model is an old French style tandem, using modern geometry and updated components. “It was built for a tandem review in a magazine. The frame is simplistic–a fillet brazed tandem–but it came out so well with the box pin-striping and luggage racks that we saw it as a show bike,” explained Stephen Bilenky.
I wonder whether the red white and blue of the bike may not be for US of A, but rather the French tricolor, and that this is because it is a French style tandem. In which case, the tire size would be 650B.


Note French tricolor above the cyclists and pretty girls.
