I continue to applaud my customers' creativity. When Denver told me the powdercoat/anodized accents combo he wanted, I wasn't sure. Then I saw it come together and was like "Oh.... F**K yeah!"

This bike turned out great.

Aye, thar she blows.

Denver wanted a custom bikepacking hardtail, and luckily that is right in our wheelhouse.
.
Proper geometry for any kind of singletrack, while still comfortable for long days in the saddle. Bent downtube and taller stack for more framebag clearance. Studs on the seat tube for extra dropper room. Mounts for all manner of bags and rack (including M6 lower rack mount bolts 💪). This one is ready to go far.
.
This was really fun to work on with Denver. And it's even staying local, so I'll get to ride with him someday!

Sorry for the lack of content recently. We have definitely been building bikes at a furious pace, but it has meant no extra time to go through photos. Thanks for bearing with us, there are more on the way.

People often ask how long I've been building frame

People often ask how long I've been building frames. This is a different answer than I usually give.
.
I just found these pics in a box of my good friend @dotytrevor welding up a long tail cargo bike. I had built one the week before, and we found some donor frames to chop up and stick back together so he could build one too. This was taken in my Dad's garage with a Canon AE-1 that I'd found in a thrift store earlier this summer when Doty and I crossed the continent on our touring bikes. I was 18.
.
I actually began MIG welding bikes together before this, and I built a tandem from two Schwinn World Tour frames that floated around Durango for years before I assume being scrapped.
.
So it ain't "proper" framebuilding, but I'd been bit by the bug long before I took TIG welding classes at the local community college, with building bikes the long-term ultimate goal.
.
It's crazy to think that Myth Cycles is just chugging along, turning out frames now. We've come a long way.

A few more from this jolly green giant. If bikepac

A few more from this jolly green giant. If bikepacking is your thing, this Tanooki frame just might be for you. Extra framebag space, way too many braze-ons, rack mounts with M6 bolts, the ability to run tons of wheel sizes and geometry that rides extra nice loaded up and when you're in the saddle all day.

Thar she blows. This is a badass 29+ bikepacking machine we just built up for Korey in OR. Read more about it in our blog post one the website.

It's been real busy at Myth Cycles world headquarters recently, but I've finally got some pics for you all to peep at.

So the most special part of this bike is something

So the most special part of this bike is something I didn't make. I asked David and Sam if they wanted to get a custom headbadge made, and it turns out Sam makes cool stuff like this all the time! So this tandem is sporting a @sammadegoodies custom brass headbadge, and it's my favorite part of the bike.
.
Also, some other details for you to enjoy.

This #adventuretandem even looks good without it's full compliment of @bedrockbags accessories. I've never done a bi-color on a tandem before, but I'm pretty damn stoked how it came out.
