I'm excited to announce three new powder coat color options are being added to the Myth lineup. These colors fill some gaps in our color offerings, and are all really gorgeous colors we're excited to see on some bikes. They are all medium gloss colors with about a 60% gloss level, so they're a slight …
Full Custom hardtail, 27.5+/29
I recently finished this build of a full custom hardtail frame, and it was a really awesome build. Michael contacted me and showed me what he had in mind, and I immediately hoped he'd go through with this build. He decided to, and we entered into the build process. Some clients pay very little attention …
A New Partnership: Bedrock Bags
I'm very excited to announce that Myth has officially partnered up with Bedrock Bags! I've actually known Andrew and Joey for years, and watched their company grow from a tiny startup to an industry-leading manufacturer of sewn bikepacking bags. The best part is that they're another Durango company, based just across town from us. It …
Wyvern, M, Iris Burgundy
I just shipped out this Wyvern, size Medium, with Rocker dropouts and the Iris Burgundy powdercoat. This might be one of my favorite colors right now, it's so incredible. I suspect it might become a very popular color in the future. The rocker dropouts really rounded this build out, and I hope I get to …
A few important updates
You may notice that a few things have changed on the website. Here's a summary. If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know. Price changes *Gasp!* Price changes!

Talos, M, Fancy Mustard
I recently finished this Talos, in Medium, with Slider dropouts, and the Fancy Mustard powdercoat color. This frame had a few new touches that I'm really excited about, and you'll be seeing more of in the future. One is the cones at the seatstay/dropout tab junction. This is something I've been wanting to do for …
Pinion Full Custom 29+ belt drive hardtail
This frame is the third Pinion frame I've built. It's a 29+ mountain bike with a 67 head angle, and 62 BB drop. The customer wanted to run belt drive so it's got a mid seat stay splitter made out of stainless steel. The powdercoat is a Turquoise to Indigo fade, and it's got triple …

Norway: part 2
The second part of our Norway trip began by stepping into unknown territory. In planning this trip, we could find almost no information about bikepacking in Norway. I saw this as a huge opportunity, but of course it was hard to know where to start. The way we packed for this trip was almost entirely …
Norway: part 1
Some of you may have noticed I disappeared for the last 3 weeks, both from Durango and social media. Well, Hayley and I went to Norway for 3 weeks of mountain biking and bike camping. The whole thing started when we saw an offer for a fully catered mountain biking holiday from Any Excuse to …
Talos, L, Pink/Blue, Rocker dropouts
I've decided to add a new version of the Talos to the linup based on some feedback I've been getting from customers, and to make the Talos a bit of a more rounded offering. The elevated chainstay design is slick and unique, but it does limit dropout selection. There's just no good way to integrate …
