Really tall steel all-road frame going to Brooklyn

Yes, this one is big- one of the largest frame so far in 2026. It is made to take wireless drive train and is mated to an Enve G-series fork. The set is complimented with a silver King headset and seatpost collar, along with a Jen Green headbadge. It's a popular combo for sure and purple is coming back .

 

Steel CX/Gravel frame for Texas

This one is light- 4 lb. 1 oz. It is not made for tires larger than 700x40 so it is more like a CX race frame. The UDH dropout is currently the only way to roll until I get more normal Paragon style dropouts- this will happen in a few weeks. Until then I'll be UDH only on steel. I'll make sure that I ask customers first if they are ok with the change , not that it is a really big one- the UDH dropout will take SRAM or Shimano, even Campagnolo - it's not exclusively a SRAM dropout.

 

The batch goes to heat treatment

 Yes-I have not been idle-as soon as I got back from vacation I launched into these 10 frames . I'll have photos of each after they are painted. This represents about three weeks of work. I think they came out pretty good considering the age of the builder.

Small steel all-road frame for Colorado

This one is going to and industry person. It will be set up with internal chainstay-exit rear brake and it also has a T-47 BB shell. Yes, I did not offer this for years but now I do so there.....I did eventually cave to all the requests ! I also offer UDH on steel frames now- I'm bending with the times and it's really not much of a learning curve to deal with either of those two items.  In route ? .........that is a bit more of a learning curve, at least in my case. Maybe like learning to operate an new phone-not something older people really warm up to-and I am an older people.
 

Steel gravel/CX frame with UDH

Well, never thought I would be building with UDH dropouts but now I am thankful as the supply of non-UDH dropouts has been temporarily interrupted with the demise of Paragon Machine works. I'm sure that within a few weeks the situation will be much better but in the mean time all the steel frames I will be building will be UDH such as this one. I can still build non-UDH aluminum frames and have been doing so for the last few weeks-been so focused on building them that none of them have made it to the blog ....but they will with time. I'm sorting out a very strange time in the bike business right now- it is not what I would call a good time but it won't be like this forever-I'm taking steps to do what I can .

 

Retro style fillet brazed bike with steel fork for sale

Not everyone's cup of tea maybe but still a super cool bike. Low standover, high bar position, three bottle mounts, full fender and rack braze ons- even a pump peg. This would be good for light touring or Rando riding as it has fairly calm geometry and a bit longer of a wheelbase. It has 650B wheels and can take much larger tires than the 650x38 Maxxis ramblers. Cantilever brakes, QR  wheels- it's got some nods to classic bikes but the shifting is still modern with Shimano 105 throughout and a GRX double crankset. 

Fit numbers : top tube 550 , seat tube c/t/c  530. This is a good bike for someone about 5'9". The wheels are built with NOS Wolber # 58 rims out of the shop collection. These rims have been in storage for over 40 years. The front end has a 1" threadless King headset . I'm asking $ 3,500-about what the frame and fork would cost. It's a new bike and it has only been test ridden once by me. Email me if you are interested.
 

Steel time trial frame for NY state

 

Yes- that's correct. This  is the first steel TT frame I have built in many years. It has a NOS True Temper S-3 airfoil down tube and Columbus Foco chain stays- remember those ? Along with NOS rear dropouts, this one is chock full of bits out of the collection of vintage frame hardware.
