Take a little time to explore this section of our web site and learn a little about our custom frames. Pam and I started out just doing custom frames and paint. The custom wheelbuilding followed quite quickly as demand grew for wheelbuilders and finally the store. Since opening a traditional store the frame building has taken a back seat and our waiting list has grown quite a bit, but we are still framebuilders and designers at heart and recently Pam had a hand in the design of a recumbent for another company.
In 2008 we were, however, able to give some quality time to framebuilding. The jig was often in evidence in the workshop and anyone visiting got to see some frames being made. Pam, again, pushed for some new ideas and we designed and built a 29er with some different features and geometry. At the time of writing the frame was at the paint shop.
Since our move to Jefferson City life has become very hectic. Consequently we have quite the wait time for frames. If you have a custom frame already ordered from us you already know the time scale. If you are thinking of ordering a custom frame or modifying an old one then be aware that patience needs to be high on your list of qualities... We now pick and choose the frame projects we are asked to do and Pam, although still very much involved with the paint side of things, will step down from most of the actual spraying. She has gathered a small group of talented people that will now take that over. Again, lack of time is the deciding factor.
Mark hard at work fillet brazing a front triangle. Hawaiian Shirt is key factor in producing top class fillets!!!

A finished Fillet Brazed frame being laid over the original full size drawing. All cable guides, bottle bosses and brake bosses have been installed, next step paint...
Pam hard at work preparing the frame for paint. Each of the fillets are hand finished and, by the time she has finished, her fingers are as smooth as the fillets...
And these little nubs belong to me...
