Custom bikes built in Durango, Colorado
The first Zodiac build block is done! and the first we're featuring is Jake's green machine. He went with a complete bike and a Black Chrome/Forest Green powder coat. Black chrome is one of my favorite powders, and I'm still hoping someone orders a whole bike that color someday. Forest Green is amazing too, it's …
Hannah has been telling me she wants a Myth for years now, so when she decided to pull the trigger, I was pretty excited. I know that she has a tendency to go on trips of epic proportions, whether it's on foot, ski, or otherwise, so the Tanooki bikepacker seemed like a perfect fit. It …
A few months ago, my old friend Jayme called me up out of the blue and said she wanted a Myth. Years ago, she was one of my consistent riding buddies when I was getting into mountain biking. Back then, I was on a Barracuda frame with a Manitou elastomer fork, and she had a …
Denver's full custom bikepacking hardtail turned out really great, and we can't wait to see where he takes it! It's set up as a singlespeed with sliding dropouts, forward geometry with a 130mm fork, and it's got mounts galore for cages and accessory bags, as well as a rear rack. We bent the downtube and …
I've had the plans to introduce a bikepacking specific frame for a long time. When Korey was asking about frames he expressed interest in something just like what I had already designed, and he decided to spring for it. Meet the Tanooki. This bike is the bikepacker's friend. The feature set is meant to roll …
This was a special build because a friend of mine called me up out of the blue and told me she was getting a Myth! I happily obliged, and she got a Md/Lg Wyvern with a complete build kit. The lime green accents on the sea water teal PC and gold (Kashima?) decals is one …
Freddy's Talos was great fun to build and the powder coat came out just fantastic on it. I forgot how good this color is, since I haven't shot it in a while, but it was great to be reminded of how great it is. I also suspect it's a good color when dirty, which is …
This bike ended up being a really awesome build, and a very unique bike that I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to work on. When Larry contacted me about a bike, he had a great vision for it, and we really just followed his lead. While I took care of the geometry and …

This was a really fun bike to put together. Joe had something pretty specific in mind when he contacted me about a bike. He wanted something light, fast, rigid, and singlespeed. A mountain bike stripped down to it's essential core that would be quiet, simple, and shreddable. He wants to do the Colorado trail race …
This latest build was really quite a custom bike. My client has wanted a pinion bike for a long time (hates derailleurs) and finally decided he wanted a fat bike. The two go together great, since the fat bike is such a great multi-purpose, simple machine. Going Pinion with the platform makes the drivetrain enclosed, …
