Cross bike with capabilities
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.

She’s gorgeous, trying to step up to a good cross bike soon myself and I can only hope to have an equally beautiful ride. I love the leather and brass look, even the brakes, and somehow you make fenders work while keeping her looking sleek and racy.

What a great looking bike. From what you’ve described it sounds like you have managed to create exactly what I have been trying to accomplish with my bike. I have an older voodoo wazoo that I used to race, but have been slowing down on a day to day basis. Adding fenders and the tourist bars from Velo Orange have helped. The new tires that might be twice as wide, if not more, than the skinny little tings that I used to love. Since I have had my frame for nearly a decade, I can’t put racks on it, AND it has two nickel sized dents on the top tube (Car door, meet frame) I have been looking for a frame that will complete what I have been trying to do. I will certainly be looking further at your site. Nice work!

Love the look of this bike, the colors and style along with the function give me a nostalgic feeling akin to looking at a classic racing Jag from the 40’s. Very nice work.
