Marshall ‘Loose Goose’ Brad Marshall. Brad referenced the innovative geometries of well-known pursuit frames such as the famous Takhions and Textimas. Brad’s creation actually started off as a bog-standard lugged CrMo road frame, to which a new integrated seat mast was brazed, along with aero gussets at each tube junction and a custom fork with a stem integrated into the crown. “Perhaps the most unique features of this bike are the components I’ve designed and had custom made,” Brad tells us. “The bike features a number of 3D-printed parts including: stainless steel stem cap, high-detail stainless steel head badge and BB serial badge, headset/steerer cap, and handle bar end plugs. “Along with the printed parts, there is a custom designed and CNC+EDM-machined aluminium hub body, made specifically for the carbon disc to carry a custom splined stainless steel track cog that is adjustable for tweaking the chain line. The bike also features a custom CNC-machined 54T chainring and a modified saddle mount for the seat-mast.” The build is rounded out with a hand-polished Shimano 600 crankset, a suitable Kashimax Aero NJS ostrich skin saddle, a Tange Levin NJS Headset and genuine pursuit bullhorns — believed to be Textima. It’s all led by a stripped-and-hand-polished Mavic Cosmic front wheel.
