Cyclist Award Best Road Bike: Rob English, from Oregon, brought this stunning mixed materials bike, all polished Reynolds 953 steel and carbon fibre

Rob English grew up in the UK, went to Cambridge University and now works out of Oregon in the States. His bikes have garnered awards the world over, and he's not short of a few decent time trial results himself either

Pictures don't do the craftsmanship justice

Cyclist Award for Best Road Bike: London-based builders Caren Hartley (Hartley Cycles) Matt McDonough (Talbot Frameworks) have paired up to create a new small batch brand, Isen - olde English for 'iron'.

Cyclist Award for Best Road Bike: Ironbridge was created by Bicycles by Design duo Rob Wade and Pete Bird. The ethos was to make largely stock but handmade frames at reasonable prices. Work will be contracted out to other framebuilders, which will help 'spread the love and keep people in business,' says Rob Wade.

The fork crown of the Ironbridge is crisp, clean and wonderfully retro

The brake bridge of the Ironbridge is a work of machining and brazing art. It depicts the iron bridge that spans the river next to Bicycle By Design's facility in Shropshire

Laubgravur is a style of German leaf engraving popular onantique rifles and pistols

The full Winter bike

The Brooks saddle underwent the same exceptioanl engraving treatment

As did the Dura-Ace chainset. Phenomenal

And the rear mech

Caren Hartley's 26" wheeled All Road Adventure Tourer

The paint is copper leaf with a candy fade, and looked insane in the light.

Rob English's ultra-practical road-urban-tourer-cargo (our words). Note frame-mounted pump - expect to see more of these this year

And this insane TT bike. Who said steel wasn't fast?

Ricky Feather brought a bunch of bikes on his return, and as expected the finishing was second to none

One of the first frames we've seen to utilise the Direct Mount on Shimano's new Dura-Ace 9100 series. Bravo

Beautiful and practical

More stunners from Ricky Feather, who swept the awards' boards along with Rob English

The reason we chose Isen as one of our three Best Road Bikes is becuase it's a very thoughtfully made range. First, Hartley and McDonough have created their own carbon fork, and second, the bike comes in two sizes, 700c and 650c, the latter wheel size appearing on bikes under 53cm (at the customer's request) to cater for shorter riders - limiting toe overlap whilst keeping proportions and handling

Condor Stainless Acciaio

Condor custom Leggero

Condor has resurrected the Paris Galibier, a bike originally built by Henry Rensch in the 1940s, who was a neighbour of Condor founder Monty Norman

Clothing brand Vulpine's owner, Nick Hussey, had this worked up for him by August Cycles

Toad Custom Cycles stainless steel, bi-lam racer

Relative newcomer Adeline O'Moreau is making some superb steel under Mercredi Bikes. She learnt the craft at the Bicycle Academy in Frome, Somerset

Mercredi Bikes' colour matching for dayz. Check out this Silca frame pump

Californian builder Craig Calfee brought two bikes, this his Manta Pro with his micro rear suspension

We've not seen Duzil Frameworks before, but this bike was mighty impressive

This custom stem from Duzil is a neat touch, and none too easy to fabricate

Granule Frameworks from Tenterten, Kent

Nice inside fork detail from Granule

Metier Velo, from Salt Lake City, USA, are making printed titanium lugged bikes with carbon tubes

The finish on these lugs is matt, but beign ti that could be buffed to a shine

Californian builder Craig Calfee brought two bikes, this his Manta Pro with his micro rear suspension

Big points on the headbadge, printed stright into the tube

Are you an elegant handyman? Do you need a comprable steed to get around town?

...then we have the solution for you and your tools.

There was a rainbow of colour on offer, this time from Evanson Bike Works. Wide tyre clearances were big on the agenda this year at Bespoked

Nevi, from Italy, make some seriously agressively looking titanium bikes, with some (presumably) bone-rattling all-ti forks

Invicta bikes from Downland Cycles proved that orange and blue are great friends

Rourke was on show with its Hope (of the components) green racer, amongst other bikes

French stalwarts Cyfac made this incredible thoughtful adventure-cum-town bike

The mudguards are bespoke carbon and integrated into the frame and fork

Shand Cycles 650b adventure road kicks it with the voluminous tan wall tyres

King is a builder from Holland. This carbon frame is made by Sarto from Italy, however, to King's specification. The whole build weighed 4.6kg

The low weight was helped by component choices, here a seatmast topper/saddle combo from Slovenian based Berk Composites. Great name

McfK is not a brand you'll see often, but it makes some exceptional high-end carbon components, along with AX-Lightness

Save weight by removing unnecessary cable

This is a ti frame made by King itself

Ellis Briggs' old-school tourer is a thing of vintage beauty

All we know is that Robi Stolz are Berliners, and this bike has a clock in the handlebars

...see, and wooden grips

Swallow's tourer is something special

New builder Mawis showing off some nicely executed titanium

And a very stiff looking fork

Sven Cycles bikes are also pretty

Nope, it's all carbon, it's called the Phantom, a frame weighs 750g and it's made by a Czech company called Duratec, which has been quietly making bikes for nearly two decades. This has carbon fibres that run from the rear dropout all the way up the seatstay, along top tube, round the headtube and back down to the other dropout

What's that, aluminim lugged, carbon tubed bikes are back?

Duratec makes all it's own moulds in house. All of them are polished on the inside like this, to ensure smooth moulding

Royce made Chris Boardman's Hour record hubs. Not much has changed in aesthetics, nor quality since those days: Royce hubs are arguably still the most covetable spinners in existence
