Steel rim brake CX going to N.M.

This one has fittings for racks and fenders but is not really a touring frame. The max tire will be a 700x45 and the use will be mixed terrain.

I opted for a crowned fork to give the frame a bit more of a classic look. The front and rear dropouts are NOS and the type I was using 20 years ago. 

 

Steel boost 29er

This one is super long- huge top tube. I got the fitting data from the customer so I hope the numbers are correct.....fingers crossed. This is one of the longest top tubes I have ever put on a frame. 

I am very happy with the way it turned out. After spending a month or so doing aluminum , getting back onto steel has been nice. Every time I switch materials it renews my enthusiasm. Steel and aluminum are quite different to build with and I am grateful for that. Life would be dull I think if I were limited to only one material.

Steel gravel frame

Can't tell you where this one is going yet but it will have a nice color and be a fully built bike.

This one weighs 4 lbs. 7 oz. and is made for mechanical shifting.

 

Steel gravel frame for bay area junior rider

This color is called "Blue Morpho" and it is wild- changes color depending on how the light hits it. 

Some times its blue, some times copper, some times burgundy. It really has all that and more and does not look garish or distasteful. I am sure this will not be the only frame this color coming out of my shop this year.

 

Re-condition on a road frame set

This one came in with a good sized dent in the chain stay and some rusted cable guides. It is about 15 years old so it was ready for new paint as well. The color is a wild sparkle black and not seeing it in the direct sun is missing out on a really amazing look.

This was originally the whole package- steel frame fork and stem. It got stolen a few years ago but by some sort of a miracle it was recovered and back with the original owner.

 

Fillet brazed ride anywhere 650 frame and fork going to Kansas

This long time customer has moved to a part of the state where long gravel roads abound.

After riding these roads as his daily commute he came up with this formula for a bike that would not only suit the riding , it would fulfill some aesthetic wishes - # 1, fillet brazing. # 2, level top tube. # 3, crowned raked fork with capacity of at least a 2" tire. #4, NOS bits such as the dropouts , skinny tubes and seatstay caps. 

 I had fun building it -I hope he has fun riding it.
