Big tire 'cross frame in the field

This frame is pretty small but it can hold some really big tires. Right now there are some 700x43 Bruce Gordon Rock 'n Road tires on the bike......classic square-block tread and tan sidewalls......made to shred.

7005 road frame

 I can't tell you where this frame is going but I will say that if it gets a good reception, a lot more people will see it than the folks that see it here.

 This is a very light frame 2 lb. 9 oz. as you see it. I used the lighter chainstays ( my very last pair ) and some N.O.S. U.S. made Easton tubes that are in some cases more than 10 years old. This is my best light aluminum tubeset that I can offer and I will run out in a matter of months. Fortunately I have been finding some good new stuff available but in my opinion it will never quite be as good as the original Easton.

There's the symbol on the downtube of the best aluminum ever-soon to be extinct.

Aluminum 'cross frame with panels

This frame was painted by Allan Neymark. The fork was repainted and decalled to match. Allan's site is linked on this blog if you want to see more of his work.

Team style 'cross frame

 This frame will be for a fitness guru.....I think I could use some of his wisdom ! Maybe he'll appreciate the kind of frame I built here. This is just like the team frames in every way except I got some new seat tubes and chainstays that I actually like better than what I have been using for the last year.

 Before the bosses and guides went on the weight was 2 lbs. 15 oz so it is probably right at 3 lbs. as you see it. The rider is just under 5'7" so it isn't a very large frame-hence the lower weight.

Ska Lobster !?

 This paint scheme was inspired by the ska revival and bands like the Specials and the English Beat .

 The owner of this frame will also have a steel version in black that will be the reverse image of what you see here......kind of the yin and yang of Ska-Lobster if you will.

The checkers are not decals but are actually painted on by Allan Neymark the local painter who does all of the wet  ( non-powdercoat ) paint work on my bikes.

Team 7005 cyclocorss frame

 We have one Frenchman on the team and this will be his new race frame.

 This should be a light and stiff ride well suited for Nor-Cal cyclocross where it does not rain nearly enough for the sport.
