3 0 5 3

...stands for the postcode of Carlton, Victoria, Australia and what better name for a bike that was hand built in Carlton and which frame was originally manufactured by Carlton Cycles Ltd Workshop England...
The frame and fork were of course made of high strength steel by old pommie hands back in the 60´s and has now been given a new look by professionally powdercoating it in a spectacular pearl white color and then fitted with the signature ferropur reflective decals.


Each ferropur bike so far has had a different type of handlebar to give it its own identity and riding feeling and this one is no exception. 3 0 5 3 is fitted with a 440mm riser bar and JetBlack Delta rubber grips, and feels bloody playful waiting for the lights to go green, no foot down allowed.



As usual only front brakes operated by a single digit brake lever and a flip/flop rear wheel system that allows freewheel or fixie setup.

Shiny blue rims and hubs will make this ride stand from the crowd and a 44/11 gear ratio will test your legs on the uphills but also will rocket you in the flats, downhill speed is up to your level of self preservation. As I read somewhere if you don´t like the pain then get a Vespa...


Keep an eye on Ferropur bikes!
