Custom bikes built in Durango, Colorado
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, …
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 …
This is the latest Titanium frame to come out of the Myth workshop. It's a Wyvern, size Large, with the rocker dropout upgrade, and rack mounts. The client wanted a bikepacking rig for a 27.5 plus build kit he had, and wanted a threaded bottom bracket. This bike uses T47, a standard that blends the …

We're starting a new series of blog and Instagram posts called Monday's Magnifying Glass. Every Monday we'll take a closer look at a design or process detail and explain why we do something a certain way, and what led us to that solution. I think this will be a really cool way to give some …
I recently set out to build a bike for myself. Since I started Myth Cycles, I've ridden the various iterations of my semi-custom bikes, from prototype to final design. But I've never had a fully custom, made for me bike! I decided it was time. I wanted a bike that would work with 29 x …
This most recent Nessie tandem build was a really awesome project. The first two bike frames I ever built were tandems, and it's really cool to see how much my process has evolved to this point. The Nessie Tandem is a mountain bike tandem, designed for a fork of 100 - 120mm travel, with high …
In the last few years, we've seen a new type of steed surface in the mountain bike world. There are a few names for these new machines, but the simplest one seems to be the Hardcore Hardtail. These bikes are changing a lot of what we originally thought of when we think; hardtail mountain bike. …
We are having an epic winter here in Durango, so I was excited to build this Chimera fat bike for my friend Brendan. The build went great. Any details about geometry can be found at the Chimera page, but the build kit on this bike turned out really awesome. He spent money where it counted, …
