Forst In-route frame for me.
That's right - the brake line goes through the BB shell. It was interesting getting it done but it looks to be rolling in this photo that the customer sent. It is a steel single speed CX frame that I am probably going to see at the Nationals this December.
Steel road frame with steel fork.
Level top tube, QR axles and rim brakes.....definitely a build that harkens back to a time when bicycles were simpler and some would say more graceful. The frame will be outfitted with Campagnolo 10-speed ergo that the customer has waiting. I hope that he likes the way this one rides. It's sturdy and made for stability at high speed and all day comfort.
7005 all-road frame for a local
The owner of this frame has had a few injuries so a new geometry was requested. The front center is really long to accomodate a far forward foot position . The head tube has been lengthened to help give an upright riding position. I hope this hits all the marks and checks all the boxes. The frame is mated to an Enve Adventure fork painted to match.

7005 CX/Gravel frame
This one could be raced but it is not a CX race bike . It has three bottle mounts and room for slightly bigger tires. The Enve G-series fork was painted to match and the whole thing really has the look of a team bike. The owner's son actually does race on the team and was the one who put the deposit down on this frame - nice gesture !

Steel track frame and fork- really a Path Racer for Washington, DC.
Track frame with brakes ? The British called this a 'Path racer' in the '50's and I call it that today. This one is really tall- the customer provided the Tange Ultimate and Columbus Max tubes for the build- an interesting blend that actually makes sense for durability, quality and stiffness- which is important in a large frame such as this. The Paragon machine works dropouts were also from the customer. I really hope that he likes what I built for him-I had fun building it.
