Custom bikes built in Durango, Colorado
I've been wanting to do post mount brakes on my frames and forks since day one, but I haven't taken the plunge on a post mount jig. I just didn't love the options available for purchase, and they're a couple hundred dollars each. So I looked up the standard dimensions of post mount brakes, and …
Here's a Wyvern build in size L, color: flat orange. It's a lower gloss level powder coat, about 20-30%. This was for a return customer who originally bought one for his fiance. This is the mid range build kit with a couple custom tweaks for him since he was a repeat customer.
It's been a little while since I've done a NTF post, but here it is. A powder coating oven! This beast was a little over 2 months in the making, and it was actually a really interesting build. I've known I wanted to bring powdercoating in-house since the beginning, but I also knew it's it's …

Delivered another Wyvern complete build today. This one had a Fox Float 34, Reverb dropper, and DT Swiss 350 wheels. Should be a ripper!

Last week I got back from a 2 week vacation in the Grand Canyon. I haven't taken a trip like that in a couple years, so it was a much needed and appreciated break. Now that I'm back I'm diving headfirst into work. The next couple weeks will see: Building a set of 4 stock …
A couple weeks ago, I finished a bike for a friend of mine, and last week I got it back from powdercoat. She chose an amazing turquoise color that came out really really nice. This is a standard Wyvern frame size large, and I'm really happy how well it turned out. I'm really excited to …
I try to maintain a Facebook page as well as this blog, and I'm never sure what to post in the blog that's much different than the FB page. I guess one difference is that I feel more free to say whatever I feel like here on the blog, but the FB page feels more …
A couple weeks ago, I started work on a mountain bike for myself. I wanted to incorporate all of the beneficial new features found on today's hardtails, while still keeping some tried and true features that make a great bike. This will be the first prototype of the hardtail I will release next spring. Highlights …
