  • The Lovely D.E.B. : Studio Hotness

    First a huge thank you to Richard Sachs for giving me the nod to build his wife, The Lovely Deb, a custom bicycle built for all seasons and conditions. It was truly an honor and a joy to work with him on this project. I’ve been meaning to get a new backdrop to take more …

  • The Lovely Deb’s 44 Huntsman

    I finished up the build for Deb earlier this weekend. Had a lot of fun putting this one together and it was a pleasure to work with Richard Sachs on this build for his wife. More pics to follow as there is a rack/bag to match for her commuting needs. And again just as a …

  • 29+ Thoughts

    The latest build I’m working on right now is a 29+. I’ve been curious about this wheelsize as I really enjoy my fat bike. Naturally before I began the build, I needed some visual references before I started to see just where the wheelsize sat on existing bikes (even if it did not fit, I …

  • Next up: 29+

    So after those experiments with existing builds and 29+ wheels, I’ve got my drawing for my client dialed, the parts spec is finished and it’s time to “make some chips”. Here’s pretty much everything that will eventually look like a bicycle: And we’re headed into outer space with this one. Space is the place. It’s …

  • Riding and reviewing the next build in line: 29+

    Been out enjoying 2013’s edition of Fall. One of my favorite times of the year. Of course it comes and goes before you can blink your eye but I love the changing of the seasons. Not to mention that means snow is just around the corner… and fat biking abounds. In preparation of the next …

  • Singlespeed in the Works

    Next up is a singlespeed for myself and will most likely be hanging out in my booth #296 at NAHBS this year in 2014. When it’s time for an update of one of my personal rigs, I typically slot them in months ahead of time. So when it’s my own turn in the list, it’s …
