You won't be able to miss this one....

 Neon paint and gold decals.....this one will be perfect for 'Cross-Vegas if they have a single speed race.

This one has all the newer stuff....tapered steerer setup, sliding dropouts with a post mount disc setup and BB-30.

29er for a sailor

 This bike will see the world, even though it isn't joining the Navy. The owner of this frame is a sailboat racer and travels all over the planet. With luck, this frame will be along for some of the travels.

 The slider dropouts are there because the bike will be built up single speed in the beginning but have the option to go fully geared. The 44 MM headtube will house a tapered steerer Fox Talas fork.

Single speed steel 29er for Arizona

 Yes, those are rack braze-ons on the wishbone and the dropouts. AZ people are pretty hardcore when they ride bikes. Single speed touring in the dirt is pretty impressive.

This bike will have to hold up in some of the more punishing conditions in the country. I learned a long time ago that dainty bikes and bike parts don't last long here.

An oldie comes back to the shop.

 I built this fillet brazed 650 road bike for a friend about 20 years ago. It is a signature edition of the 'Langostino"-that's what I called the smaller wheeled road frames for a couple of years. The internal brake cable and singular seat collar are touches that I did back then.

 As the sticker says, the frame really is made of Columbus EL OS tubing, some of the earliest oversize Nivachrom tubes. I think I built this one in my garage shop that I had from 1982-1992.

 The King headset is old enough that it does not have the logo on the cups.

I was putting a lot of Kestrel forks on my bikes back then. The Kestrel was the first really popular carbon fork.

650 MTB for So-Cal.

 I hope you like this one....I like it-it came out pretty nice. This is going to Santa Clarita to a guy who will be replacing a 17 year old MTB. It is his first custom frame ....I really hope he likes it.

 I put on the classic wavy gussetts and the cable guides are underneath, out of the way.

I guess you could slap on some 26" wheels if you wanted to but it will be best as a 650B bike.

Cyclocross frame and fork for Sacramento

 This is kind of a general purpose version of the Team Euro steel cross frame and fork. It has fittings for fenders and is not intended for racing-hence the unusual beneath-the-top tube cable guides.

 The guide placement was a customer request and is similar to the current style on MTB frames.

 The tubes are a mix of True Temper OX and Columbus. There's lots of tire room in the back.

The fork is pretty much the standard issue at Rock Lobster.....stout but still a 'cross fork and not an MTB fork.

Expidition style touring frame and fork

 This is not a dainty frame and will be ridden on some lengthy excursions. The frame is a mix of Reynolds 853 and Columbus. The stout tubing will be great for carrying full touring loads on just about any type of road surface.

The front and rear disc brakes will make stopping with a full load a lot easier.
