Single speed 29er for tall rider

This guy is pretty tall....6'5" if I remember correctly. The bike is outfitted with Paragon 'rocker' rear dropouts.The post mount version here is the first I have built with-don't worry, I checked with a brake caliper to make sure that it cleared the seat stay.

 This frame will easily fit 2.2 tires , even with the wheel all the way forward.

The head tube is also from Paragon-the 44 mm version for a tapered steerer Rock Shock. This should be a really solid setup.

Belt-drive 650 MTB frame....so there !

Yes, this is a belt-drive slider dropout 650 wheel mountain bike frame that will sport a Shimano Alfine 11 drivetrain. Have I made many of these ? Actually this is the first one. It has a curved top tube for increased standover room. The rider is 5'3 1/2" so this was the thing to do.The bike will be fitted with a 120 mm fork.

All of the interesting hardware is from Paragon Machine works: The head tube, BB and dropouts. The post mount on the rear is a fairly new feature.

7005 29er for Flagstaff, AZ.

 this may be aluminum but it isn't dainty. The rocks around Flagstaff are merciless so I put a bit of extra beef into this frame. It also has the very first tapered head tube that I have used in a 29er. This allows for a nice low cross country bar position with a 100 mm fork.

1973 Motobecane team champion

 I got this at a charity auction years ago because I always wanted one. These were really fine bikes back in the day. This one is much too big for me so it is going to a good friend of mine. The bike has been hanging in my shop for a number of years.....I don't remember which number.

 Not the black anodized Campagnolo record seatpost that has been modified to accept the larger aluminum rails of this Ideale cutaway saddle.

The ends of the stays are finished off much nicer than other French pro production bikes of the day.

Road frame with seatmast in steel

Pretty self explanitory.....level top tube and hidden by the vise a BB-30. This one is ready to ship.

Fitness guru's frame ready to build up

 I'll be assembling this bike today with a Shimano Ultegra/CX-70 build. The wheels will be RS-80, a nice light wheel that can take abuse without costing too much. The Grifo file tread clinchers will make for a nice soft ride.

 This frame is part of the last fall batch-10 frames that I completed in the last three weeks. I'm super happy to have these all built and am looking forward to cleaning my shop and concentrating on the remainder of the cyclocross season. I also have about 18 steel frames I have to get started on as well......

The last three team frames for the season...almost.

 This single speed  CX frame is for the current district mens champion Alex Work.

 This one is for Sea Otter womens silver medalist Ellen Sherrill

This one is for powerhouse sprinter Natasha Perry. I still have a couple at the painter.....it has been a busy fall season.
