Following on from part one where we looked at three Australian boutique custom builders from the Fyxo Melburn Custom Bike Show, we now continue with another three.
The three names below are single-man shops, with a new generation of young builders continuing the process of handmade made steel bicycles with obvious passion for the craft.

During a visit to Japan, Keith Marshall found his true passion for building bikes. Five years on and his full-time job is creating one-off complete bikes from his workshop in Australia’s capital city – Canberra.

Marshall puts it simply. “I love bikes, I love making things – actually I have to be making things, and somehow those two things came together.â€
Marshall proudly states he’s been strongly mentored by Darrell Llewellyn McCulloch of Llewellyn Custom Bicycles. Something that’s clearly working, as he's exported bikes to Dubai, England, New Zealand and the United States.
“I started just doing my own thing, which soon led to me taking deposits and working full-time in this business. It’s all I do. It’s been this way for two years and now there’s a waiting list of 12 months.â€
