No bottle bosses are on this frame as it is full race. The tubes are a mixture of Dedaccai , Nova, Fairing and NOS Easton. This frame is 3 lb. 14 oz. and will not have a der. hanger when it is shipped.
The frame will take up to 700x 40 tires or even slightly larger.

Aluminum forest adventure frame
I will be making more of these in the future. The format is not unlike my team CX race frame except that the tire room has been increased to fit the Bruce Gordon 'Rock 'N Road' 700x43 tires. The bike will have disc brakes and small chainrings.
The bike will see duties in the forests outside of Seattle. One of our team riders is now a writer and needed a chassis for forest excursions that he will write about in the coming months. There's a third set of bottle bosses on the underside of the downtube, indicating that there will be some long rides.
This model falls into the 'team ti s.l. ' style but this time it is not a steel version. With the high volume tires the added frame stiffness might be welcome on high speed descents.

Road frame and fork for Brooklyn
Nobody will miss this one going down the street-the bright neon yellow will be a beacon. The carbon fork has been painted contrasting color-this isn't the first time I have had this request I might even say that's might be the next 'mini-trend' in bicycle frame painting.
The 7005 road frame is pretty light and plenty stiff for hard efforts. The whole package should wind up being pretty light when it is all built up.

Road frame and fork for Australia
This steel frame is mated to an Enve 2.0 carbon fork that has been painted to match. This is not always easy to do as the frame is powder coated and the fork has to be painted with an entirely different process. The fork painter is fortunately really good at matching colors .
With the exception of adding the silver head badge, this frame is ready to make the long trip across the pacific.

Steel CX frame for Germany
This one has already been sent. The wishbone seat stay was a request from the customer-kind of a nod to the MTB frames I had distributed to Germany in the '90's . The color is a 2015 Mercedes metallic blue-I had to have a wet coat to match the color exactly. This disc brake model is built to rake a beating in a number if different roles.
No tapered head tube or big BB shell.....this is traditional and solid with no frills.

Largest 'Alfie' ever for a local
This townie has the matching special edition Brooks B-17 and grips. The silver Jen Green badge is an extra request from the customer. The Alfine group has the 11 spd. rear hub this time , only the second one I have set up. I think that this parts group represents the best performance value out there.
The 700x35 Michelin tires should be very resistant to punctures. They roll amazingly fast , even though they are wire bead and not particularly lightweight. The pedals were later changed to some MKS flats that really hold onto the shoes well. I put the extra curved tube under the wishbone just to make sure that this bike would last as long as possible.

Single speed 7005 CX frame for Wa.
This one is built to take the muddy tracks of the Pacific north west races. The tube set is the team issue mix of Dedacai, Faring and Easton tubes. This customer went traditional with the head tube and BSC BB shell. No tapered fork on this one-no disc brakes , either. It is what single speeds are-simple and reliable.
This frame is part of the first run of aluminum frames for 2015. I'll have about 12 in all to build for the next few weeks.
