BLB Classic - Taken from Brick Lane Bikes. Arden de Raaij, Andreas Conradi

This is one of Brick Lane Bikes' ready-made bicycles, built from some of their current components. Its eye-catchers are the playing card cutouts in the crank set and the snowflake pattern wheels, handbuilt by Jameski who has 17 years of wheel building experience.

It is normal in Europe to have 36 spokes, in your front and rear wheel only in Great Britain they have 32 in front and 40 in the rear wheel. There is one exception, when it is a super fancy racing bike it could have 32 spokes front and rear.
