Hi Elliot,
that looks amateurish. Maybe a freebie, maybe custom.
Similar fonts: Agency FB, Refrigerator – they might be too ‘clean’ for you, though.

Many thanks - yes I found Refrigerator. Amateurish or purposely naive?

Take a look at one of Mark's other fonts, Kinescope, and ask yourself that question again :-)

That remark was not aimed at Mark's font!
It was a response to Florian's comment about the original sample.

Ah - I see now.

Well, it’s hard to guess someone’s intentions, no? Please note that, imo, ‘amateur’ has no negative connotations. After all it means ‘lover’.

Wow. I never thought something I made would show up here.
It is a custom drawn logotype. I've constantly refined it as the company grows, so there is an evolution of the design. I'm am still working on finishing the font, it will be my third set.

I love the version on the bike frame. Nice colour scheme too.

You might want to take a look at Borgstrand as well.

Hi rose and bomb!
The version on the bike is presumably the latest version? It does look better than on the website. Are you going to release the font commercially?
