Touring big tire steel frame and fork for Seattle

These days I refer to this as a drop bar MTB although this one might not have drop bars. It has the look of an MTB frame but it isn't quite that. It can fit some pretty large tires but it's not made for shredding the rough stuff. That said, I think it can handle some variable road conditions well. 

 

Flat bar/MTB/29er kinda gravel rig for Marcells, NY

 This one is built for comfort riding the tow-paths and the like in NY state. The bars will be up and comfortable and there's attachments for a rack and three bottles as well as a top tube bag. When I retire I'll be riding something like this ......if I retire ...

The fork is one that I built using NOS True Temper unicrown blades. They are better than anything I can buy nowadays. I'm very lucky to have stocked up when I did. They are coming in handy as more people are opting for steel rigid forks as of late.

 

7005 All road frame going to Louisville, Ky.

 This one is the first UDH aluminum frame build for me. The customer sourced these dropouts from a company in Spain. Now I have used a few pair and they seem to be fine. The company that produces the dropouts build bicycles as well and they use a similar dropout on an aluminum tandem frame. I guess I should take a look at their website and see what their operation is all about.

This frame is mated to an Enve all-road in-route model fork that has been painted to match. Yes, this is an in-route bike....I'm entering into a new era where cable guides are obsolete !

WCCX frame going to Asheville, N.C.

 This one will be a complete build when time permits. I hope to have it together in the next 7-10 days. This frame was part of an earlier batch in May , along with a few others that are still in the shop. They all have to be cleared out soon to make way for all the stuff that is coming back from the painter in a day or so. 

This one is only about 3 lb. 1 oz. as it is made for a 5'6" rider. It should be out at the races next month if all goes to plan. This rider has been on my bikes for more than a decade and this will be his first disc brake model. I hope that he likes it.

Steel adventure big tire gravel for San Jose.

This style for steel gravel frame that can take 50 mm tires is becoming more popular. This one is paired with an Enve 'Adventure' fork that has attachment points on the legs for bottles and/or racks. The frame has fender mounts - this would be a great mixed-terrain touring rig.
 

The only thing holding up delivering this frame to the owner is the headset -I could have ordered it earlier but I am so busy welding that ordering parts only happens every other week. The King headset will be in the 3D violet color to match the decals on the down tube.

CX/Gravel frame going to Pa.

This one is just waiting for a White Ind. headset and then it will go in a box and on its way. The frame is steel and it is matched to an Enve G-series fork. This frame was part of the steel run in June before the 13 frame aluminum batch that is nearly completed. This has been a very busy summer so I am looking forward to slowing down this fall and concentrating on the CX team and the upcoming season. 
 

Two matching WCCX frames for a new team member

 Yes- if you are going to any big CX race , it's best to have two bikes so that if you have a mechanical you have a spare in the pit so that you can finish. Also, if it is a super muddy race having two bikes and someone in the pit can be a big advantage as getting a clean bike every lap or even every half-lap can make a big difference. These frames have PF-30 BB shells so that they can run an EBB and be used as single speeds. 

There's a very good chance these bike will be at the nationals in Fayetteville, Ark. in December.
