CX frame with a fade going to So-Cal.

The fork looks big- that's because it is the Enve 'Adventure' fork with all the fittings for bottles,etc. 

I think there's some bike packing in the future for this rig. It is set up with rack mounts and mechanical shift routing for a 2X setup. 

 

Steel CX/All-road/big tire frame and fork

This one will be headed north. It also has a painted to match stem that did not make it into the photo.

This steel fork has a tapered steerer from Engin- another builder . This is one of the nicest pieces of frame building material I have seen. When the customer told me what it cost , I was stunned.....until I saw the work. You really do get what you pay for. 

 

7005 CX frame with Enve fork for Morgan Hill, Calif.

This one will get picked up this week as the customer only lives about an hour away by car.

He has a road frame of the same color so hopefully he won't mistake one for the other.....I have done that and jumped onto my CX bike only to realize that I had my road shoes on........

The frame will sport a King 'Dropset-3" in silver to match the seat collar and der. hanger.
 

WCCX frame with Enve Adventure fork going to NYC

Yes, this one is going to do non-CX duties as well. The fork has all the mounts for bottle cages and/or racks.

The bike will be outfitted with Shimano Di II- should be a fun riding bike for a variety of conditions.

 

WCCX frame going to Washington, DC

This rider already has a single speed from me so having a second geared bike will probably be nice when the weather gets rainy. This color is the favorite of one of my long time SF customers so it will be nice to have another bike the same color on the other side ofthe country.

The Enve G-series fork has been painted to match.

 

Steel 650 single speed boost frame and fork

The customer wanted a dedicated single speed so I built this one with rocker dropouts to keep it stylish and functional with east chain tension adjustment. The owner wanted a rigid fork and has no intention of ever using a shock fork. 

Even though it is steel it is pretty light. The owner said that he is unlikely to really beat on it and will ride it on dirt roads near where he lives. I made the geometry pretty current so if he ever does decide to ride the steep downhills the bike should feel good.

This one will be built up this week with Shimano XT components and 2.35 tires.
 

Super tall 7005 frame going to S.C.

They don't get much bigger than this. The rider is 6'9" and I'm sure that he has to have not just his bikes , but all sorts of stuff custom made.

I hope that when he gets on this frame that it feels like home. It has a matte finish and the gold decals were a nice choice. I'll be interested to hear a ride report.

 

WCCX frame going to BC

This full race CX frame will be hitting the courses of the Pacific Northwest where mud and sometimes snow are what you have to deal with on the course

The owner of this frame was very specific about what he wanted , mainly his position relative to the front axle. Having his hands a few CM behind the axle was key- I hope that I accomplished what he asked for.

The rider is pretty tall so I used a 44 MM ID head tube of about 184 mm. This is longer than the integrated style, especially accounting for the extra 12 mm of lower headset stack. 
 

7005 road frame going to south S.F.

The rider of this bike is maybe 130 lbs. so I was free to use very light tubing. The frame is 2 lb. 15 oz.

The seat stays are smaller diameter as well as thinner wall than what I use on CX bikes or road bikes for larger riders. This one will be set up with a Sram/Easton build.

 

WCCX frame going to NYC.

Busy week building a pre-season batch. This one weighs in at 3 lb. 9 oz. and has the heavier duty chain stays.

The bike will be equipped with Sram AXS wireless, hence the absence of der. cable guides

This is a pretty pure race bike but it will take up to 700x 40 tires so that it can do gravel race duties as well.
 

7005 team CX for a local

I think this frame will be doing many rides besides racing. There's a third bottle cage mount and a mount for a top tube bag. I call this the 'lifestyling bag option'. Very popular for people to use bags so that they don't have a ton of stuff in their jersey pockets. 

 

7005 gravel frame going to the midwest

Didn't think I was going to buid an aluminum batch in April but now I must. This one is going to Unbound Gravel and that's coming up in March so getting this one done was important.

This one is made for 700x40 tires but it could probably fit 42's if needed.

 

Steel rim brake CX going to N.M.

This one has fittings for racks and fenders but is not really a touring frame. The max tire will be a 700x45 and the use will be mixed terrain.

I opted for a crowned fork to give the frame a bit more of a classic look. The front and rear dropouts are NOS and the type I was using 20 years ago. 

 

Steel boost 29er

This one is super long- huge top tube. I got the fitting data from the customer so I hope the numbers are correct.....fingers crossed. This is one of the longest top tubes I have ever put on a frame. 

I am very happy with the way it turned out. After spending a month or so doing aluminum , getting back onto steel has been nice. Every time I switch materials it renews my enthusiasm. Steel and aluminum are quite different to build with and I am grateful for that. Life would be dull I think if I were limited to only one material.

 

New team socks in stock !

Yes- the latest edition with the latest ironic truth written on the bottom. These can be ordered through the website in the store section.
 

Steel gravel frame

Can't tell you where this one is going yet but it will have a nice color and be a fully built bike.

This one weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. and is made for mechanical shifting.

 

Steel gravel frame for bay area junior rider

This color is called "Blue Morpho" and it is wild- changes color depending on how the light hits it. 

Some times its blue, some times copper, some times burgundy. It really has all that and more and does not look garish or distasteful. I am sure this will not be the only frame this color coming out of my shop this year.
