Check out Griz’s new track bike. I love how the paint job highlights the lines of the bike. Enjoy!

This is the only picture I could find of the Portland City Club meeting “It’s all about the bike”. The event was  filled with progressive speakers and attendees. I had a great time talking to other local builders. They are all such cool cats to hang out with and have amazing skills. You can check out the MP3 @ http://www.pdxcityclub.org/forums-events/friday-forums.php

I was pleased to hear the general thought of the speakers. City and transportation development effects everyones physical and mental health.

Finally some nice shots of my cross bike. I run fenders year around which are easily removed for cross tires, have rack mounts for a short tour, and a loud bell to ding at my friends. It has a solid old school look with race proven parts, along with multiple capabilities. The geometry makes for a snappy ride, and is a pleasure in climbs and descents. The all steel construction means comfort for miles.

Alright folks, sorry for the lack of pictures and posts.
Just to catch you up:
Josh, your bike will be going into paint after a few braze ons, and finish work.
Griz, your bike should be out any day now from paint!
I am working on a set of hand carved lugs for Heidi’s bike who own the pet food store MEAT in Portland. Go and check it out on 22nd and East Burnside.
Steve is getting a bike I want all to myself. It’s single speed, fillet brazed cross bike, with a timeless double plate styled fork crown and S-bend seat stays.

I almost have my camera issues handled and will soon have a small studio area for some classy shots. Can you say Soap Opera lighting!

Oh yeah, the weather is amazing so go for a long ride.
I can’t help but to think that my favorite trails near the Portland are clear of the winter snow, which is fat a lie.

My new cross bike. More to come with proper lighting.

Thanks to some great design work from my friend Michael Phillips I now have another head badge to choose from.
I love the look of this badge as it has the retro look and will work better on classic styled bikes. You pick.

I am working on the rear triangle of Josh’s road bike, then off to Steve K’s single speed cross with a double plate style fork crown.

Check it out! 

More to come!

I just spent the last few weeks in “Turbo” mode. Eating, sleeping, and breathing frame building. Took some great pics of Johns all-arounder that is ready for paint, built a few tools, started three more bikes. But alas, today the lens on my camera won’t open. I can’t even upload the pictures I have on the thing. This means I will be using an ultra sexy new camera that takes pro quality shots. I have been very lazy about putting up quality shots of finished bikes on my website so this is a long time coming.

  I am on to build a sweet 26″ wheel, lugged city bike for my future sister in-law, a light road bike for Josh to ease his knees, featuring the always sexy Henry James road crown, and a SS cross bike for Steve, which will have a brand new double plate styled fork crown.  Going to go and get some miles in now.

Hi all,

 So I know I have been slacking a bit on the site. I am just waiting for the paint to dry! Have 3 in paint as we speak.

It’s great to here comments about my blog from friends and customers when I run into them around town. Portland is a great place and its nice to feel that I have roots. I am truly blessed to be around such amazing builders and cyclists. People enjoy what I love doing and that makes me very happy! 

  I would like to give a big thanks to Hazel at City Bikes. She is an amazing friend even though I don’t hang out enough and City Bikes does wonders at introducing people to the freedom of cycling. I would also like to thank everyone at Bike Central because they know their shit and has managed to answer all of my questions in the last years. Thanks for letting me out of the rain when I was a soggy messenger. Support these businesses because they are rare!

John I am cranking on your bike, it’s turning out great.

I am getting a different style headbadge that my friend Griz made. Its an old school stamped style badge for the more classic look. 

Love,

Greg   XOXO

Finished up my cross bike. Turned out very light and handsome! I put fender, rear rack, and pump peg bosses on it just in case. Off to paint!

John’s bike is coming a long, just waiting on some tubing that I didn’t have in stock.

Gina, your next!
