Steel road frame for S.F.

 This frame will see mostly commuting duties. The tubes are mid-weight, not what I would use for a dedicated race bike but then, this one will not be raced.

 The long head tube indicates that an upright position is what the customer wanted-probably a good idea in traffic.

There are rack braze ons, probably not for a big load, just for a change of clothes or some minimal shopping.

Big tire road bike for SF.

 With the brakes installed it all makes more sense. The brazed-on version of these Paul's Racer Medium brakes have a lot of power and they are made here in Nor-Cal.

Disc brake 'cross frame for New Hampshire

 Yes, those are stainless dropouts. I normally don't use the stainless front dropouts but I got a request for them and it really is a nice touch. This frame will be good for load carrying as it has all the braze ons for front and rear racks as well as full fenders. The S&S couplers will be great for flying without having to pay top dollar for a boxed up bike.

 The new Ritchey stem has an interesting handlebar clamp and three bolts to secure the stem to the steerer-something I haven't seen until now.

The larger 19 mm seat stays will be nice and stiff to hold up to the forces of the disc brake as well as the additional load of full touring gear.

Cross bike for Sacramento built up

 This is a solid build: Dura Ace hubs , 36 spoke rear wheel, Ultegra/CX-70 group. The idea is durability-this isn' a race bike but an all-around ride anywhere steel 'cross bike. There's room for fenders and larger than race-size tires.

 These Shimano cantilevers offer a really excellent feel at a low price. I'm impressed with how easy they were to set up.

There's a set of the new XT trail pedals. I have a set of the XTR version on my 29er and like the larger platform.

'Cross frame for New Jersey

 This frame is nearly all Reynolds-853 in the front and 725 in the rear. I offered the customer this upgrade and I think it is worth the extra money. The tubing is really nice to work with and the frame weight came in at 4 lb. 1 oz., light for a steel 'cross frame in this size.

Tall travel road frame

 You can't get a frame taller than this into an S&S stock travel case......I've checked. This rider is 6'3" so the frame has to be this big. Before the couplers went in the weight was only 4 lb. 6 oz. , surprising as I did not try to go light on the tubes.

 The seat stays are s-bend 19 mm Dedaccai, a good way to stifen up the rear end of a large steel road frame. The seat tube is an oversize external butted offering from Nova.....another good feature for a 240 lb. rider.

Adventure touring road bike with disc brakes

 This frame is technically not done as it is still in need of some custom lettering and a clear coat.

 There's no telling where this frame will get ridden as the travels of the owner can be to very remote places.

The tubes are made to endure lots of miles and lots of cargo. It isn't a color that I have seen on one of my bikes until now.....very minty.
