Rapid City, South Dakota

I build bicycles to fit real people. Whether you're short or tall, long legged or long waisted, I'll build the bike to fit you.

I primarily build silver brazed lugged steel frames using Henry James lugs, drop outs and fork crowns. I specialize in road racing, touring, and the occasional cyclo-cross frame. Recently, however, there is increasing interest in all-rounders, relaxed road frames on mountain bike wheels with 1.25" or 1.5" road tires and V-brakes. All-rounders are designed to go just about anywhere and offer a pleasant relaxed riding experience.

If you have special fitting needs or just want a custom built frame, just give me a call!
