Litton Cycles

Ed Litton passed away in December of 2024. Humble, kind, deeply knowledgeable about vintage steel bikes. Highly skilled at frame building, repair and period correct restoration. A tremendously fine person, a huge loss to us all.

 

A visit to Ed's workshop back in the day

This visitor soon realized that Ed loves bikes – building them, working on them, talking about them
