This frame will be mated to a rigid fork. The customer asked for down tube routing- not standard for me but custom frames are custom and my job is to do what is requested. This one is meant to be light and lively and it should be that way with slightly smaller diameter tubing than what I usually use for a frame like this. I hope that the recipient is happy with what I have built for them- This one is really a custom order in all respects.

I'm leading a ride tomorrow.
Yes- this is very late notice but I am leading a ride that leaves from the Missing Spoke bike shop in Santa Cruz tomorrow at 10:00 AM. It will be a leasurely 25 mile ride up the new bike path to Davenport and a new park just past the town. Anyone is welcome- might be a bit of dirt here and there.

Bro-tour rim brake ? - yes, it exists
Here's one for the books- modern look, old style rim brakes and mechanical drive train. The Bro-Tour will replace the 'SL' in my aluminum road frame offerings. Of course, this does not mean that I won't be able to build the SL, it just means that this model will replace it on the website eventually. All of the earlier ones I have built have been for disc brakes but this rider felt that he didn't really need them. I hope he likes what I built for him. It is very light at barely 3 lbs. for the frame.
All-road steel frame going to Truckee, Calif.
If you are on our CX team and you win a national title, I build you a free frame of your choice. Caroline Dezendorf won the single speed class in the nationals last year so this is her choice- a steel all-road frame with an Enve all-road fork. She already has a fleet of CX bikes so this one should fill a role that the other bikes don't.
Really huge all-road 7005 frame for St. Louis, MO.
This is a super tall one. I built a rim brake version for this customer some years ago and he decided he wanted room for bigger tires and some disc brakes. This frame is wedded to an Enve all-road fork so the bike will take 700x38 tires. I hope that it makes the rider happy. This one is going to Big Shark bikes in St. Louis .
WCCX frame going to Asheville, NC
This one, along with all the parts is going UPS to Asheville , NC this morning. I hope that the rider really enjoys his first foray into a modern CX bike.
Two WCCX frames for new team member
These are going to one of the local legends.....or really, the local legend of bike racing. He has been on a few teams over the years but now he has joined our team and will be racing cyclocross on this pair of frames. I'm hoping that he will get them built up soon. Thanks to Chris King for the deal on the 50th anniversary stuff and to this rider , who's own business Tom's Well service is a new sponsor of the team.
