Latest Bro-Tour frame for In-Route

 This one is going to another team mate and local rider. It is only 3 lb. 7 oz. and it is made to have all the brake lines hidden. The tubing is NOS Easton Elite with some Dedacciai chain stays. It is about as aero as I build for the road. 

In-route WCCX frame going to Illinois.

Here's the latest version of the WCCX frame - different in that it is set up for the in-route brake line system so the head tube is different and the chain stays are roomier inside for the brake line. There are also big ports inside the head tube and BBshell for the rear brake line. This one will be used as a single speed with an EBB most of the time. 

 

Big tire 7005 gravel frame for local rider

 This customer has raced on the team for a number of years on a frame I built 10 years ago. This frame will replace it and it has a few tweaks to reflect this rider's current riding: Room for 700x50 tires, external brake routing, three bottle mounts, heavy duty top tube. 

Instead of a straight CX race machine like his 2016 frame, this is a gravel frame with a longer wheelbase and a front end designed to work with the Enve Adventure fork. It still has a nod to the WCCX frame with the seat stay gusset and top routing.

Steel MTB frame for Reno, Nv.

This one is pretty clean with minimal stuff on it. It also has an integrated headset style head tube , one of the very last from Paragon. The brake mount is also Paragon as well out of my dwindling stash. 
 

Tube set is a mix of Velospec and NOS True Temper along with my Tange wishbone seat stays. Chain stays are Columbus. This little frame is solid and should be good for the East Sierra dirt.

 

Gravel frame in 7005 for Pasadena, Calif.

This one has full fender mounts- not sure how much rain the bike will see in Pasadena but I'll bet that it might not have a life limited to southern Calif. in the future. the Enve fork has been painted to match.

 

 

WCCX team frame for new team member

This is the first in what is likely to be the last aluminum batch of the year. All the team frames have to be done by the end of this month and off to the painter so that by early September they will be ready to assemble. 
 

The owner of this frame joined the team last year byt his season was cut short by a pretty nasty crash. He's got renewed energy and is replacing his old bike with this-should be quite a difference from what he is riding now,especially as his current bike is too small. 

Steel 29er going to Boulder, Colorado

You might think that I have not been building many frames as of late- this is not the case. What I have not been doing has been posting all of them on this blog ....hope to catch up with that some time soon, This is the 45th frame of the year so I am on a quicker pace than I had intended for 2026 - wanting to build only 70 frames in a year. I guess if they are turning out as nicely as this one I'll keep at this speed. 
 

This frame is unique in that it is designed to work with the Enve rigid carbon fork and is unlikely to have a shock fork or a dropper post. This is a cross country rig all the way with the only modern feature being the UDH dropout. If I were making myself a steel MTB frame I'm pretty sure that it would look just like this one.

The frame is going to an old friend who is a bike industry lifer and was on our CX team for a number of years. He has had many of my frames - I hope that he really likes this one.
