MMG: Custom bent stays
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 …
Monday’s Magnifying Glass
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 …
