Another team bike assembled.

This one is for a new member of the team who lives in San Fransisco. The team sponsor components  are all over this rig: Headset and BB from Chris King , brakeset from Paul Component engineering , wheels,bar,stem, fork and seatpost from Easton/Bell sports. Shimano might not be a sponsor but the parts on this bike are really the best for the money and generally hold up to cyclocross better than the other options.

 The brakes are the new mini-v's from Paul Components and they have serious stopping power.

The bike as you see tipped the scale at 18 lb. 3 oz. with pedals...not bad for a full race rig at a budget. -Sure, Dura Ace would drop the weight down to the sub 17 lb. range but the money saved pays a lot of entry fees.

Steel 'cross frame for Bakersfield

 This guy should get the fleet price....I think this is # 3 in the fleet. this will be a utility/ training bike as the full race frame will arrive sooner.I thought it was pretty stout when I finished it....had a little heft to it-then i put it on the scale: 3 lb. 11 oz. !  Dang, how did that happen ? I guess modern steel is pretty light.

 All the guides are welded so they will have to endure some sort of incredible apocalyptic event to ever snap off. I think that the tubing would rip first......

This mixture of Columbus and True temper OX platinum might become my stock tubeset for the coming year.I like how stout yet light the bikes come out.

Step trough townie for Sacramento

 This frame and fork will have derailleur gears and v-brakes. The frame was 3 lb. 9 oz. before I put the braze-ons and kickstand bracket so this is the lightest one of these I have made.

 The fork is a 1"threaded steerer, a request from the customer. I had a nice Pacenti crown in stock-one I had bought maye 3-4 years ago. It is nice when they finally find a home.

Allthe curves on this frame have a nice harmony to them....I got lucky !

Big blue aluminum road frame built up

 The customer had the good fortune of getting a deal on some three-year old Campagnolo record-10 components. All I had to provide were a seatpost, fr. der. clamp, a new carbon fork and a new chain.

All of the parts were in pretty good order but the cables and housing were to short and too shot to re-use. 

The end result is a really big bike that doesn't weigh nearly as much as you would think.

Aluminum road frame with custom graphics

 I might have put this one up awhile ago but the paint and decals were redone since then. All is now good and shiny. The customer works in the graphics department at a large bicycle accessory company so he decided to update the look of my logo and add a few of his own.

 Not having changed my logos since I designed them in 1984, I really like the fresh ideas here that the customer provided.

Disc brake slider dropout steel 'cross frame

 There's a fork that goes with this one that didn't make it into the photo-fortunately it did make it into the box and has been shipped to its owner in the Pacific northwest.

 This is the big tire 'Tig team s.l.' version with all the options except couplers.
