Milholland Bicycle Company

It happened, and we heckled and drank. Quite a few people turned out and I even had my own peanut gallery of buddies behind my booth table.

Check out Griz’s track bike all built up! A lugged stem is soon to come. Go MOTORDOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He assured me that he was “German”

Heidi’s bike ready for paint. I love making women’s bikes. They can be feminine and  bad ass, and in my experience most women could benefit from a custom fit  bike.

Yep, Mark from Belladonna is always my best compadre at these things. I have not seen that bike since.

Dave from TI CYCLES showing the newbies how its done!

All in all it was a great time. Got to hang out with friends, drink good beer, and sit back and people watch.

Josh and I finished building up his bike this afternoon so he could ride his new machine to work. He has been riding a fixed gear exclusively for about 8 years or so, so I am sure it’s going to take a bit to learn how to coast.  I love the stem. It is a heart melter.

Happy customer!

Josh said it was necessary. Keepin it old school.

Congrats Elicia and Andy! What a fun wedding and serious BBQ.

And guess what,  Andy gets a Milholland adventure touring mountain bike from Elicia.  Best wife ever.

Bike parking.

These folks are the real deal. Bike tourers, advocates, frame builders and such. Good people.

This is my beloved brother and best friend Ammon and his new wife Gina.

Ammon built my website and has a great beard.

A look at lugs from start to finish. I didn’t manage to record even close to all of the steps but it is still a neat progression to see.

This is where I lose myself. I always do a bit of research and dig deep, get nervous, and sketch out some ideas. I keep pages of lug drawings all over my shop for ideas.

and after many steps, some tricks, a lot of filing, out come nice and even,  classy and fast lugs.
