Ace Cafe to build café racer

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of its opening, London’s Ace Cafe has announced it’s going to start building bikes. The aptly titled Ace Cafe Racer will premiere later this year as a special one-off model to be entered in S&S Cycle’s 50th anniversary custom contest in June. A limited production run will follow shortly after.

The 100ci S&S v-twin–powered café racer is the product of Ace owner Mark Wilsmore’s longtime dream of building his own range of bikes. To do so, he has teamed up with noted English custom builder Nick Gale and Ace investor George Tsuchnikas to found the Stonebridge Motor Company.
