Mosaic GT-2 Dream Bike Build With Gee Milner
20th May, 2023
Film maker, photographer, and definitely an all-round ‘gee’, Gee Milner is still producing the most stunning videos for his ever-growing YouTube following. That’s because he’s super passionate about what he does and won’t let a little thing like a global pandemic stop him. And we’re mega passionate about what we do too - a match made in heaven, right? Right.
Recently (June 2021) we teamed up with Gee again to make another Dream Build video, the fourth we’ve done with him so far. The usually camera-shy Stephen, founder and director of The Bike Tailor, makes an appearance in this one. And it’s all based around a very cool custom-built bike using a Mosaic GT-2 titanium gravel frame.
Keep reading for the build specs and more.
The build centres around Mosaic’s titanium GT-2 frame. Handbuilt in small batches, the frame comes as a stock size, but for an upcharge, can be customised to a client’s geometry and even tuned to a client’s riding profile with bespoke tube selections. However, at that point it’s almost a GT-1, the brand’s flagship gravel frame, which includes the customisations as standard. Contact us to learn about the differences - we’re here to help.
Mosaic is one of our select brands, handpicked by The Bike Tailor after painstakingly assessing their methods with a magnifying glass (well, visiting their factory and chatting to them about what they do over a nice cup of Joe, anyway).
As the build was a project piece, we spiced it up a bit and decided to complement the cool silver frame with a neon, tiger-stripe painted fork stem and seat post.

According to Mosaic the GT-2 is described as follows: “Mixing design elements of traditional road and off-road frame specs, the GT-2 features Mosaic’s straight gauge tubeset for comfort and compliance for a long day in the saddle. Titanium can take the abuse of riding all year, in any climate, without worry of corrosion or denting with minimal care.”
In short, this bike has hardcore strength and fantastic comfort.
The frame itself is finished in a very cool, brushed silver colour. So, we decided to pair the frame with something that has a bit of zing: an Enve fork and seatpost, finished with neon orange and green tiger stripes.
We also added a Chris King headset and matching hubs in their delightful Matte Mango colour.
