I have a very strong love for lugged and brazed steel bicycle frames. Along with a deep respect for the frame builders who use these techniques when creating their ridable art.At this years MADE Show, I set out to find a bicycle or bicycle product to be awarded with my very own version of the Best of Show. A few weeks ago, we shared some news about Wilde Bicycle Companys new 1 threaded headset. Well, the bike they used to model the headset was their new custom Sugar Foot frameset built up into a 650b classical gravel racer.After seeing the Sugar Foot up close and personal, it was an easy choice for me to pick it as this years MADE Best of Show award. I walked the show for three days, and really struggled to make this tough choice, but it was the straight top tube, skinny tubeset, the Pacenti fork crown, and the Richard Sachs-designed lugset that pushed the Sugar Foot ahead of many others that were in contention.These days, in a sea of generic full-suspension plastic bikes, overly formed and shaped tubes, it was refreshing to see so many amazing steel, and titanium bikes with traditional and classic lines at this show.Wilde Sugar Foot gets Best of ShowJeffery FraneJeffrey Frane is a true lover of the bicycle and its surrounding culture. You can tell when you speak with him its contagious and intoxicating. As the founder and head honcho for All-City Cycles for the first 11 years they were around, he knows a thing or two about designing and building bicycles. Not to mention supporting the cycling community as a whole.One thing Jeffrey likes to say is that Wilde Bicycle Co. is a love letter to cycling. I believe this to be true. I also believe that the Sugar Foot might well be that very thought manifested.Lets take a look. The Sugar Foot(Photos / Ron Frazelle)As mentioned earlier, the Wilde Sugar Foot combines timeless aesthetics with modern geometry and speed. Combining rim brakes and a frame with lug construction, it may not be a bike for some. But, even if you dont care for those attributes, you cant deny its sheer beauty.You can see Jeffreys passion for the bicycle in the build for the show sample including the use of the beautiful first gen Shimano XTR and the use of the White Industries rear hub, and SON front dynamo hub.Another build highlight is the perfectly color-matched Sinewave Beacon 2 front dynamo light and fillet brazed steel stem. And then to push this beautiful bike over the edge, there is the Richard Sachs-designed lug set, the Pacenti fork crown,Columbus tubing, and Paragon Machine Works frame parts. Imron paint by D&D Cycles is absolutely perfect.Buy a Sugar Foot Frame for Yourself?You can buy one of these framesets for yourself, as Wilde is making 10 of these this Winter. The paint will be similar to the show bike. The sizes that will be available are top tube effective lengths of 54, 56,58, and 60mm.Framesets will retail for $3900.

Wahoo just announced a big price drop across their full fleet of KICKR indoor trainers, knocking several hundred dollars off everything from their flexible ROLLR up to the full-on KICKR BIKE. Sure, its still hot outside for most of our readers in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment. But #crossiscoming and so eventually will come cooler weather and shorter days. You may not be ready to give up riding outside just yet, but it still could be a good time to plan for late-season and off-season trainingWahoo KICKR price drops; indoor training is more affordableLook, smart Wahoo KICKR trainers are still not cheap. But now were not talking about $200 off a Kickr Rollr, $300 off a sixth-generation Kickr V6, $300 off the Kickr Move, $500 off the Kickr Bike Shift, and $200 off the Kickr Bike. Those are solid savings if you were already on the fence about whether to upgrade your indoor training setup or not. And while savings like this often would only come after new models are introduced, our super secret industry-insider rumors suggest that Wahoo does not have any big new indoor trainers launching for the rest of the year.
