That "prehistoric" all-road is fantastic! The whole package is really nicely done.
It would be cool to see it dirtied up too.

Thanks, hopefully there will be some follow up photos once it gets dirtied.

That lug work looks so neat

such awesome bikes! Lugged monstercross

Nice work - do you build the forks?

[Whit51]

Checked your website - reasonable prices for lugged frames!

Yes indeed, I think the frame comes as a package with the fork acting as part of the whole unit. I don't like designing around a stock fork unless it's necessary.

This one has it all. Lightweight tubing, internal hydro disc line, thru axles, Schmidt Contactless connector with internal fork wiring, custom porteur rack with semi-internal wiring and a double shear light bracket, braze-ons for anything and everything cages/additional rear rack, seat light painted to match, bi-lam construction and even a quick change hanger. I may have missed something but with all my frames this one to has actual blood poured into it thanks to the sharp semi-wrap top eyes. Designed around 650x48 with clearance for XL fenders, it also works with 26x2.3 and various other combinations. I'm looking forward to seeing the full build and hearing how it rides.

I love the colors too--nice bright fade. Looks like a lot of work!

It'll be cool to see how it's built up.

Thanks, this was indeed a lot of work. I was constantly looking at the frame thinking I finished all the braze ons to go, "Wait a minute." Also, I tweaked my forearm a bit tapping all the threads I too, am looking forward to seeing the complete build, though I hear it may take the new owner some time to get together.

In the summer I held a 10-day frame building class for a local. He had his mind set on what he wanted to build and was open to long hours and having me jump in when necessary. As a gravel rider, he wanted a frame that used thru-axles and flat mount disc brakes as well as be able to clear 650x48 tires. Additionally, he wanted every braze-on under the sun including top tube bag mounts, internal dynamo wiring through the fork and a fork that would allow for flat mount brakes to be used with an adapter plate. After a lot of back and forth and planning we set out to build. There were a few set back along the way, including a broken wrist not related to the class, but in the end the goal was accomplished. I'm looking forward to going on some rides along side this bike.
