Isen workshop All season **£1500** - The last discounted batch before I need an RS6.

So the first batch (https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/305980/) is done. If you haven't been reading from the beginning then this is the TLDR version:

It was emotional. The chainstays tried to ruin my life. I used a lot of argon. Caren got mad at me a lot. People with dirty minds confused health and safety fixtures with phalli. Sick candy fadez. I drove to Oxford. I bought another mill. Caren got mad at me again. I wasn't allowed the work card. Verity left. I still don't have an RS6.

Anyway, the whole point of the discounted batch was to get a load of free press but the greedy Akira-like pulsating fleshy mass that is LFGSS bought them all up in a week, and I was in charge of sending the press releases so obvs that didnt happen, and Caren got cross. No bother, we are going to do it one last time, and try and spread the word a little further a field. Logically the best way to do this is to post it up again on LFGSS. This time they are priced at £1500 for the frameset, I've copied and pasted the info from last time below, nothing will change between the two batches:

Why does anyone buy a Talbot? Sick candy fadez. Why does anyone buy a Hartley? Got cool bridges and head badges and stuff. So we stuck those things together and made a bike. It's also got other stuff on it, I don't know, whatever. Here's the spec's.

Road Disc brake specific bike
Hand Made from Reynolds 853, Columbus spirit
and life and dedaccai zero tubing
Columbus futura gravel fork with through axle, flat mount disc,
mudguard mounts and tapered 1 1/8 - 1 1/4 carbon steerer
44mm headtube
Flat mount disc dropouts
Through axle front and QR rear
Internal routing for brake cables
Internal routing through frame for Dynamo cables
Bi-axially ovalised downtube and top tube

After running the first batch, the RRP is now going to be (after these 30) £1800 so it's a fair wedge off. This will also probably be one of the last chances to get a frame that's fully welded by me and painted by Caren, as we are currently training a troupe of depressingly young oiks to slowly step in as we grow larger and larger, until we get to Specialized levels of despotism, and start suing anyone using 'I' or 'S' in any product or brand name. Realistically we are going to be hands on for quite a while, but this is the last batch where you know it was our hands on the torch or the gun.

This time round there are a lot more examples of them built up, in various guises. Have posted below. Any questions fire away!

It's a lot easier to order this time, the website has been made more user friendly. If you want to order head over to the web store here:

Beautiful frames - dare I ask, any plans for a non disc..?

TLDR version:

You're doing it wrong ;)

You should have seen the original draft!

There may well be, we have a few things in development rn. Watch this space...

Hahahaha.

I liked the introductory paragraph a lot tho I must say.
Great summation, be sure to get caren something wonderful for Xmas

Party notification! If you're interested in a shiny new Isen then this would be a good time to see some in the flesh yeah?

Anyone and everyone is invited! It is to celebrate Isen coming into being, the first batch being over and the second batch commencing. If anyone with a batch one Isen would be up for me displaying it, that would be blessed.

It's very tempting this. They still come with a CK headset?

Do it!

anything with paul racer mounts? maybe with a tenth month lead time, s&s couplers, and sora stock

Yes, although batch 3 may move to hope. This one deffo though.

Alright then.

So, how's this coming along? Will it be ready for my late February rando?

Just waiting for the last columbus bits to turn up and we are a go! Will be ready well before late Feb ;)
