The Cosgrove Ball Board Racer Special
The Cosgrove Ball Board Racer Special project designed and built by artist Edward Ball. A bespoke hand crafted bicycle with a traditional retro bike look, cohesively merged with a modern charm and elegance of individual design.
The bike is built to look equally at home dashing through the edgy urban landscape, cruising along the beach or just popping out around the city for that cafe bar break in the sun.
This modern classic bicycle takes it’s design elements from the fashionable bikes of the exhilarating board track racing scene of the 1920s. I have embodied this design into something that is unique and individual with a sense of theatre and occasion every time you step on the pedal or admire it parked.
The Board Racer Special is built on a chromed bicycle frame, hand crafted with steel lugs to the Cosgrove Ball design and geometry specification.
The bike was created by the pure love for design, the Board Racer Special is designed to be seen on, either racing along the road in your jeans and a tee or majestically cruising around town on your tweed run donned in your favorite jacket and brown leather shoes. Choose your wardrobe, decide your destination and enjoy your ride!
Due to an increasing amount of attention and the gaining momentum of people asking me if they can purchase one, I have decided to build a limited amount of hand-built bikes in 2021. I'm still to fix on a final price as I'm still talking to frame builders, but it should eventually retail between £2000-£2500. If you are interested in going on the waiting list for one then let me know by filling out the contct form here. To save your place and go on the waiting list there is no deposit required at this stage. When the price is confirmed and the building starts there will be a deposit to be paid and full payment on completion of your bike. Talk soon, Ed.
