I’ve added a new page to the website called project bike. I will be offering complete bikes at a discounted rate, the catch is they are already built. So if the size works for you, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
I’m offering spec bikes for a few reasons, the main one being brand development. At this point, nothing is set in stone for branding of the bikes. I’m still working with Spectrum Powderworks to nail the logos and really have that polished. I would also like to establish relationships with venders of tubing, parts, paint, and other necessary items. I want to have all of these things nailed down and streamlined so that I can offer a realistic build time to future customers. When I send a bike to paint or order a build kit, I want them to already know who I am, I want to know how they do business, so that I can plan mine. This will allow the best possible transition from my apprenticeship in the fall.
The current bike was displayed at NAHBS. I’ve also posted a few times about the style of bike, as well as, some build photos which can be seen below. I’ve included a bikeCAD file that displays all of the dimensions for fit and geometry. The saddle height and bar drop can change, but they are listed for reference. The stem is currently flipped -10 degrees with 20mm of spacers underneath. The bike was design with a 23mm headtube extension so that no spacers could be used for most people, however I left the steer tube a little long just in case you need the additional handlebar height. The stem could also be flipped in the positive rise direction. Again, please feel free to email me with any questions.
