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 week here on the blog. As a framebuilder, there are lots …
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, …
Recently a client reached out to me and asked if I build custom racks. This is something I've been thinking about for a VERY long time, longer than custom bikes, actually. I built my first rack in Ron Andrews' shop almost 7 years ago, and built a few more over the years just for fun. …
It was bound to happen eventually; I built a titanium frame. I came into framebuilding with about 6 years of professional welding experience behind me, and this is a fact I've always been proud of. Back when I went to trade school, I learned TIG welding with the intention to build bike frames. After getting …
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 …
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 …
