I first saw one of Sacha White’s Vanilla Bicycles at the Seattle International Bicycle Expo in 2005. Zac Daab was showing the Vanilla Bike to draw attention to the start of his new business, Cascade Bicycle Studio.
Wow. Every square inch of the bike oozes hand-made, one-of-a-kind precision. Looking over Sacha’s website you’ll quickly get the idea he is a man interested in perfection. The first step to building your dream bike is making a selection from six frame types: commuter, cross, road, randonnee, touring and track. The second step is deciding which Stainless Upgrades you like: polished “V” dropouts, polished stainless lugs, hand carved lug sets, to name a few. Just make your decisions soon because as of December, 2007 Sacha has a five-year waiting list.
