HoneyB
This 650B road bike is the product of a lot of cross-pollination. So I am calling this one HoneyB. It is typically a tall order to make a bike at once zippy and sleek, metal-fendered and tour-ready. But this
bike, like a honey bee, took a little bit of sugar from a lot of places – the gorgeous Japanese fenders with the French tires, the retro bottle cages with the modern component group, and even a mountain derailleur with a drivetrain that is all about the long and open road. The result is undeniably sweet.

That is one gorgeous bicycle!
beautiful, as always.
Grand Bois are actually also Japanese tires. AFAIK. However, they are made by a company that builds vintage-French-style bikes. The bike looks nice though – not “chunky” like some 650B frames.
Your Sweetpea bikes look great, I’m no bike expert but I’d love to be able to get one, one day, thanks for sharing yoyr creations with us.
Dang! I wouldn’t mind waking up to this bicycle.
