Along the lines of changing things up in how we sell bikes, we are also selling a few complete and ready to roll. Here is the first one, a Large Talos in Illusion bi-color, Cherry Red and Malbec. Also worth noting is that this is built with a Fox 34 fork and their brand new …

This summer's build block turned out to be a few Zodiacs and a lot of work around the shop. I'm working on streamlining production in my small space and also introducing new titanium handlebars, so I got quite a bit done on those fronts. These are the bikes we built, and a few shots from …
If you thought the Spring build block pt 1 was good, don't worry it's not slowing down for part 2. This block was full of some very wild and wonderful bikes, and I'm excited to show them off here. Owen's full custom mountain bike in Flat Pink It's probable that from the pictures you can …

I know I said we'd be grouping all the bikes from a given build block into one blog post, but this one had 6 bikes in it! So we've split it into two posts; this one and part 2 which will come next week. Rob's Black Chrome Z Rob managed to remember me mentioning in …
I've decided to change things up a bit in how I present the latest builds coming out of the shop. I used to do a blog post for each bike, but that has realistically always been a bit of a stretch, so I'll be putting the builds together in a blog post just like the …
I tend to change out the bike I'm riding every year or two. It has more to do with testing new designs than anything, since I really don't care if the powder coat gets beat up, or if the components are tired. Good design comes down to understanding how the geometry works, limitations of your …
