- Retrotec Twin Road (Tig-welded) come from INGLIS AND RETROTEC CYCLES, a custom shop that makes quality bicycles, handmade in Napa, California.
I've had the Retrotec Twin Road for over a decade and the Twin Road had served my supported and unsupported long-distance rides that has seen crossed over to bike touring - I need a slower pace in life and enjoy life more!
The exquisite ride quality of Retrotec Twin Road and the sentimental value have the bike kept in a box only to be rebuilt for my first touring adventure and I was hooked!
There is no turning back on bike touring!
Abdul Rahim Kassim, Musa Haron, Adam Hamid, Rafie and Mors Kaizer organized a road trip to KL one day to meet up with Akmal from Basikal Akmal, Naz & partner and both Faritz and Jaz:
Please connect with Akmal for all your bicycle needs and more. He is always ready to provide support in all of your touring adventures:

The modifications made to Retrotec Twin Road include brazing the IS Disc Brake tab, widening the rear-spacing, realigning and treating the frame, and a couple of bottle cage mounts has made me more excited to be using the bike again. Thank you Faritz!
Please give a visit to fezzcyclesbyfarits Instagram and ready to be impressed with his custom works as a custom framebuilder:

The custom colors on the frame, decals and fork were airbrushed by Jaz: An impressive piece of bespoke artwork I must say.

I'm stoked with the final conversion from a roadbike to a touring bike with disc brake support and I'm glad I held on to the frame after so many times thinking and weighing on selling it.
