Bike For Sale!

November 14th

Now that its been a month since the Oregon Manifest show it's time to sell the show bike. I built this bike for the show buts it's time to go, I need new tools and more sand paper. So the size of this beauty is 55.5cm seat tube(center to center) and 56cm top tube. It's got braze ons for full fenders and cantilever brakes. Brooks saddle, Eno cranks, Miche hubs, and ofcourse custom front and back racks fitted w/ white oak and purple heart wood. This photo doesnt really do it justice, I have more photos of this bike on my Flickr page. For price contact me via e-mail or telephone.

Alot has happened in the past couple weeks. I finished 2 frames, had a bike show(Oregon Manifest) Had an art opening, got shirts done and got head badges back. Everything is all coming together. Man, the Oregon Manifest show was awesome, tons of great bikes and builders, as well as tons of people interested in bike frames. It made for a hectic week, but all in all it was worth it. It was also great to meet all the builders, everyone is super cool, and down to earth. I just started on my friend Kate's bike. Its a touring all aroung rig that is very small w/ 650B wheels and all the bells and whistles. Im excited. Next up will be Nicole's track frame(another small one) with afront rack to carry her dog around with her. O.k now its time for a thank you list for the best hard working folks out there. First off is my boys down at the local bike shop Dave, Dan and Jerome. They help my dumb ass out way too much. Sam for the awesome wood slatted racks, Deven for the brand new t-shirts I have for sale, there will be a picture up on flickr soon. Dell ofcourse over at Class Act Paint, and everyone else who has given me inspiration to keep on going. Thanks

Wow , it's been a long time since I've looked at the site. I think it's about time to update the people. Alot has happened since the last(first) time I wrote in my journal. I've taken some good trips, my bands have played alot of shows as well as put out some recordings. As far as the bikes go, I need to take more pictures of the process as well as the finished product. All of this is true and I will start to take more photos as well as write in this thing way more often. O.k. as far as the past couple of months go, my first touring frame for Susan turned out great , and as soon as I was done she packed it up and rode to L.A. ( I don't know why anyone would go there) but that is Awesome. I've done a couple of replacement forks for people as well as some racks. I just got a new frame back from paint a few days ago, and I'm still unsure what to do with it, I just wanted a break from everybody's frames to build something a little different. I just sent Bess's step through frame to paint. I'm starting on Kate's Roadster next week, and then on to Nicole's fixie. That's enough for now, more photos soon.

I've been working on a frame for myself for a long time, and now its finally done. Lots of hard work and lots of patience. Its a single speed cruiser with tight geometry but built up for easy cruisin. I used Henry James lugs, Dedacciai tubing, Paragon rear drop outs and tons of love. Del @ Class Act did a beautiful job on the paint. My friend Sam did the woodwork for the rack, and James did the bronze casted badge. I am indebted to friends for all the help. I cant do this alone, and without friends why would I. Thanks again.
