This one is headed to Texas. Just waiting for the frame saver to dry. I love the seat tube treatment! Almost ready for hand-built wheels and the Campy Athena group. What a beauty

Chris D’s
Chris is another person I met at the Seattle Bike Expo. Chris wanted two things out of this bike. First he wanted a classic styled lugged road bike, with room for fenders. Second was fit. Chris likes a very upright position in the saddle to keep his back happy, so like many of my builds, [...]

Dave’s Road Frame
Dave’s frame is one of those designs that is only available in the custom world. It’s a compact style road frame with a slightly sloping top tube and double-oversized tubes. I added a head tube extension to offer a higher handlebar height for Dave’s riding style. Room for 700×28 tires with fenders, integrated fender mounts [...]

Field Trip to Philosophy Bags

Troy, the owner of Philosophy Bags was great to talk with. He showed us around his shop and we pretended to break things (I forgot my camera, dangit), talked about the state of the world, [...]

One-off 55cm Road Frame AKA the Italian in Portland
Like I have said before, I love building one-off frames. They just flow. They often stem from a custom build that I felt was near perfect from handling and fit to overall looks. This frame set certainly fits the bill. Imagine that old Italian Frame you lusted over at the local bike shop. It’s simple [...]
