Bespoked Dresden 2026: Stolen, Mooro, Bonanno, Avalanche, and Curve Cycling
This week’s edition rolls out of Bespoked Dresden 2026 with a distinctly international flavor: two French ateliers bringing their signature blend of elegance and endurance engineering, an Italian framebuilder based in Berlin, and a pair of Australian studios who brought some pretty incredible bikes this year. Feels like Bespoked Dresden is turning very international this week!

This is Romain Clement own full-custom bike from Stolen Garage, made for off-road travel with comfort as the absolute priority. He wanted an easy-to-live-with machine for disappearing into the forest, riding rough tracks, and travelling for up to two months at a time.
The result is deliberately simple and self-sufficient: mechanical shifting and braking with a Growtac setup plus no unnecessary integration. Everything has been chosen to be easily understood, maintained, and repaired on the road without being tied to a workshop or a charger. But what sounds simple and straightforward is also full of incredible details, like this two-tone paint job, multiple braze-on details, and you know, I’m a big segmented fork lover.
There is, of course, a SON dynamo hub and lighting setup ready for long days that turn into nights. And on top of the full Moga Bags set, a front rack will be added later, because this is not a show build that happens to look capable… I know for a fact that this one will travel very far.

Tune Nano Gravel 45 Disc
This is the new Bonanno SL0, a performance-gravel bike that pushes the brand’s steel platform in a more technical and race-oriented direction. The “0” stands for zero stack, referring to the fully integrated front end and its ability to run different cockpit configurations with Columbus’ new Futura Gravel fork.
It clears up to 50 mm tires, thanks in part to custom Columbus dropouts and chainstays made specifically for Bonanno. That gives the bike proper room for technical gravel, but the overall intent is still very much racy rather than expedition-focused. The plan is eventually to take this platform one step further and develop it fully in stainless steel.
The SL0 really appealed to me as a classic yet very sophisticated modern gravel race bike. Curious enough, one of the only bikes at Bespoked, fitted with the new Silca protocol tires.

Curve G5
This is the most race-oriented bike Curve has made so far: a full-carbon gravel race machine built around 3D-printed titanium lugs. The original concept was to use different titanium lug infill and carbon tube thicknesses throughout the bike for a good blend of comfort and stiffness where it matters. But the project quickly became something more focused, creating a properly aggressive race platform.
The frame is built around 2.4” tires, with enough room that a 2.6” might even be possible. The bottom-bracket cluster has been completely reworked since last year, using more extensive 3D modelling to create extra space around both the chainring and the chainstays.
The titanium lugs come from a long-running supplier in China that Curve has worked with for more than a decade, while the carbon tubes are sourced from New Zealand. Everything is bonded at their Melbourne HQ, then painted by Steve at Candy Factory Paintworks, who handles the brand’s custom finishes. It is a very international process, but the final assembly and paint work keep the bike rooted in Australia.
It rolls on the brand’s upcoming G5 carbon wheels, fitted with 2.4-inch Terreno tires, and also displays the new Warmer Carbon Race handlebar: 220 g, slightly more aero, less flare, tested to mountain-bike standards, and designed for fully internal, semi-integrated, or external cable routing. It even has built-in blip-button recesses, with a small 3D-printed insert if you would rather tape over them.

Ascent Polaris
Mooro Bikes has been building frames since 2018, and this creation is as much about place and story as it is about the bike itself. The artwork is based around the idea of the journey: the places you ride through, the traces you leave behind, and the landscape you pass by.
The frame was painted by Aboriginal artist Rohin, using Cerakote in a way I had never seen before. Rather than spraying it, he applies the extremely thin coating by hand with a paintbrush, working fast enough that it does not run. (Cerakote is very liquid in its ready-to-apply form.) The dots and circular forms are made using sticks, referencing traditional Australian Aboriginal painting techniques. It is a beautiful finish, but also one with a real connection to where the bike comes from.
There is a snake worked into the artwork too, which is the Wagyl, a protective spirit that is said to have carved out the landscape as it slithered across the country. The idea here is that it protects the bike and its rider, just as it is believed to watch over the land around the Mooro workshop.

Duke SIERRA Æra set with SON hub
As Avalanche only does fully bespoke titanium builds, this bike does not carry a fixed model name. The brief was to create a proper monster-cross adventure bike for a client planning long trips well away from civilization: a bike that can take huge tires, carry plenty of gear, and remain simple enough to fix when things go wrong.
This frame uses many of Avalanche’s familiar details, including a 3D-printed seat cluster, dropouts and a dedicated yoke for maximum tire clearance. Up front is a new titanium adventure fork and side mounts for cargo cages.
What makes this build particularly refreshing is its deliberate move away from current fully integrated, electronic-bike conventions. The client specifically wanted external cables, mechanical disc brakes, and a mechanical 12-speed drivetrain: reliable, serviceable, and far easier to deal with far from a workshop.
The rest of the bike continues that practical approach, with Ingrid drivetrain parts, Growtac brakes, calipers, and levers, and Avalanche’s own stem and seatpost. Lighting is fully integrated for long days and nights out, with a SON 29 dynamo hub at the front and, and a Supernova rear light integrated into the dropout. Finally, some Copra Frame Bags matched to the raw titanium-and-black finish. A very modern adventure bike in capability, but with a super practical approach.
