Custom bikes built in Durango, Colorado
This was a really great Talos build up for Mike. Singlespeed, with a properly nice build kit, and I think one of my favorite bi-colors to date (I know, I say that a lot). The Color is Iris Burgundy and Ink Black, and they really worked well together. I've been doing more of the top/bottom …
This was a really fun bike to put together. Joe had something pretty specific in mind when he contacted me about a bike. He wanted something light, fast, rigid, and singlespeed. A mountain bike stripped down to it's essential core that would be quiet, simple, and shreddable. He wants to do the Colorado trail race …
The latest bike to leave the shop was a really cool singlespeed specific 29er for Simon. He wanted really clean lines, and mid-modern XC geometry. He works in a bike shop and has ridden a bunch of bikes and had been taking notes on each one, so when we went to design his frame, he …
This latest build was really quite a custom bike. My client has wanted a pinion bike for a long time (hates derailleurs) and finally decided he wanted a fat bike. The two go together great, since the fat bike is such a great multi-purpose, simple machine. Going Pinion with the platform makes the drivetrain enclosed, …
One of the most amazing things about building custom bikes for people is hearing about the amazing riding and trips they take. This past summer, three different people rode their Myth mountain bikes the length of the Colorado trail, and they've all been kind enough to let me share some photos of their trips. Trevor …
I've been working towards a semi-custom gravel/adventure bike for a while now, and each iteration has gotten closer to what I'm trying to achieve. This most recent build is the final version of the geometry I've been playing around with. The main focus of this bike is really all day comfort for long days in …
Every Monday, we’ll take a closer look at a detail of our handbuilt bike frames to help give some insight into what makes a Myth a truly custom bike. This is our Monday’s Magnifying Glass series, and you can find a new one every other week here on the blog. In this Monday's Magnifying glass, …
Guest blog post by Myth rider Sam Vickery (@slam_vick) Ahh nationals..the pinnacle of the season for many racers around the country and one of my main goals for the year as well. I always laugh 'cause it’s like you just name a race “nationals” and people go nuts for it. It is pretty damn cool …

This Monday's Magnifying Glass is something pretty subtle. Cable routing is the kind of thing that's easy to overlook in the design of a frame. But it really makes a difference if the framebuilder puts thought into what the frame will be used for, and the best way to achieve cable routing for that use. …
The last frame to come out of the shop was this Talos with the stealth dropper routing upgrade. One new thing about this frame was the size. We're introducing a size halfway between Medium and Large, and this was the first one. Basically, the seat tube length is the same as the medium, but the …
