Just when you thought that beautiful wheels and classic lines and handmade craftsmanship were gone from Detroit, the Motor City delivers us up a company whose classic retro-look bicycles are pure eye-candy.

These custom fixed gear bikes from Detroit Bicycle Company are made by hand, and each one is distinctive and eye-catching. Founder Steven Bock finishes off each one with unique and vintage track bike components, which turn a beautiful frame into a phenomenal fixie. The meticulous attention to detail on these bikes makes each one a thing of beauty, and just might have you trying to figure out how to fit another ride into your stable of bikes.

Detroit Bicycle Company offers both frames (from $1200) and complete bikes ($3200 and up) for sale.
