Steel big-tire road bike

There's a lot of steel here-frame fork and stem. I only make about 3-4 stems a year so it is a rare item. The rider of this frame races MTB and cyclocross at a high level....quite literally as he can get several feet of air off even a modest jump. This bike will be mostly staying on the ground. .
The head tube collars are a real throwback to the mid 80's when I was putting them on almost every fillet brazed bike. Now I use them only a couple times a year.
This tall frame makes for some different lines in the seat stays with a long , almost parallel section.

Pearl white road Columbus frame

I wish I were able to really show the pearl in this paint but my good camera broke and my cheap camera is all I have now....trust me, it's really nice !

26" wheel disc brake commute frame

This frame will get a Wound-up carbon fork and some mechanical discs. The rider is about five ft. tall.

Sacndium 'cross frame for NYC

This color is a blast from the past-the 2005 team 'Jaegermeister green'. I really like this color, kind of an attempt to replicate the look of an empty wine bottle.
In an unusual move, the customer opted for the silver head badge-unusual as this is a dedicated race frame. I was told it would be a 'pit bike' and be used when the primary bike is out of commission.......nice pit bike.

World champion stripes

There's a reason this guy's bike has world champion stripes on the seat tube......he's Ron Riley, masters 70+ world cyclocross champion ! This is the first time any bike I have built has been ridden to a world title. Ron has also been masters national champion as well. This is a bit of shop history being made.

Road racing bike for an eleven year old

I've got to get this bike built fast as the owner is bound for a stage race in Arizona.....at eleven year old !
I hope she likes this little 650 wheel scandium rocket sled. It is about the fastest thing I can build on two wheels.
I'm not sure what it will weigh but it won't be very much. I hope to have it all built by Thursday night.

First batch of the year done

The four unpainted aluminum frames represent my first batch of 2012 , although I also built a couple of steel frames this month as well. Normally, six frames in a month would be pretty low for me but I was gone for eight days at the national cyclocross races...did I tell you that our team won the single speed race ? -Sure I did......I can't stop telling folks. Speaking of which....
This frame has a lot in common with Aaron Bradford's winning frame except that this rider is a lot taller and a bit heavier as well, hence the use of one of Mike Ahren's lower chainstay yokes.
This disc-only frame also has the big head tube for the tapered steerer carbon 'cross fork .
Here's a close look at the yoke and one of my last pair of NOS rectangle Easton 7005 chainstays. This frame will be at the NAHMBS but not in my booth......I'm sure you will see it there if you go.
