Bicycle Gear Models

These custom models utilize a tea-ball capsule basket held in a spring suspension in a mid-sized reclaimed bike gear. Visually striking, singular and elegant. The mic body is built from heavy copper and brass plumbing components.

Classic cardioid pattern, with excellent off-pattern rejection and plenty of output, making her easy to use live. With the clarity, gain, feedback resistance, and full, natural frequency response to change the game when it comes to live single-mic situations. She has a pleasing high end with no harshness, and a sound that performers, audiences, and engineers all describe as astonishingly natural.

We haven’t named this batch— you are welcome to name the mic yourself, perhaps after a favorite grandmother or great-aunt, and we’ll write it on the case for you!

Depending on the head basket shape, some have the tonal quality of Myrtle (a bit warmer/mellower) and some have the tonal quality of Louise (a bit brighter/crisper).
