Do you need some fittings welded in? send me an email and we’ll knock it out

Every once in a while you give in to the requests to donate this that or the other. Most of the time it’s little stuff like a set of tires or some gift cards. But on this occasion I was foolish enough to donate a custom built frame to some random person during a women’s only gathering at the 2009 CX nationals. Lucky for me Kate Dunning a local BendOR resident won the bike and happens to be a pretty cool chick. I took FOREVER to build this bike, but Kate was extremely patient and for that I am grateful. So it’s nice in the end that Heather Clark of the Bulletin wrote an article about Kate and how the bike that I built for her pushed her into racing cross. Sure she rides for the guys at Pine Mountain Sports, but she certainly has the coolest bike out of the bunch.

While there aren’t many things in the cycling world that haven’t been done—I’m pretty sure this is something original. Mudflap Girl dropouts. This is part of the very first frame I built with the help of my good friend Wade of Vulture Cycles. By the way building cruisers is where it’s at.
