Last time I saw him, which was a few years ago now, he was more or less cleaning house. He said he wasn't getting any orders and he enjoyed fishing more at this stage in life. That's not to say he wouldn't take on a project, try giving him a call, there's a phone number on his webpage. He's a friendly guy.

On another forum, he expressed a possible willingness to do a redo of the Norther-Lyon collab. Not sure he was entirely serious, but I do take it to mean that he'd still consider work.

His instagram is still going, but doesn't really show bikes.

If you speak with him, will you please let us know what you find out? I have the same question.

And just out of curiosity, because I like your taste in bikes, what is your proposed project?

I remember when GVH Bikes frequently had one or more of Jeff's frames/bikes for sale on line.

Last August (2023) I contact him via Instagram about a "L'avecaise "frameset. He asked for specifics. He then replied that he would not be able to assist me. He didn't give me a reason, but I assume that my requirements didn't fit with his current build capacity (I requested a 62cm frame with posts for Paul racer brakes). So I think he is still building, but on a rather limited basis.

I also suggest calling as it's probably the quickest way of reaching him.

if the "something specific" should happen to be a 58/59 cm fixed gear trainer, lemme know
I'm also curious what he says to your query. I often think about asking if he'd do a light 700c disc braked rando/roadie.
