What Happened to Method Bikes?

[MorganColeman]

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here on the board knows where builder Gary Alderman of Method Bikes went. It's been over a year since I visited his website, where he had some of the most beautiful filet brazed rando, city and road bikes on display. It appears his website is no more and there's no mention online that I can find that announces he closed shop.

Thanks,

Morgan

I emailed him a few months ago but no reply.

Done. I don't know the details, but pretty sure Garry isn't building anymore.

Bump in case there are new answers to the original question.

Anyone ever bought a frame because you loved the seat-binder? It kind of got me on this one...

Here's an interesting portrait of him on Vimeo:

Looks to have been quite a meticulous builder - and his fillets are tight.
