I build clean sheet frames and forks, to go fast, or far, or both, for roads paved and paths less traveled. Care and attention to detail are at the core of my effort, and my highest goal is the enjoyment one of my frames brings to its rider.
Every single piece is unique, designed around a rider’s specific needs. Each tube and every measurement is selected and defined in close collaboration between rider and builder to create the perfect fit, riding behaviour, and to make sure that every detail is accounted for, whether it be something as practical as tyre clearance or as indulgent as a purely visual flourish. If you want it, I can build it.
I work in steel, where just about anything one can imagine is possible. It can be bent in ways that other metals or materials cannot, and can take mounting points or accessories in any location. Because steel is so strong, tubes are thin, creating elegant, slender shapes while providing modern performance. It is a myth that it must be heavy: a high performance steel frame will match carbon or aluminium for weight, and be much more durable.
I join steel using traditional brass and silver brazing. Because of the lower working temperature, the properties of the steel are better preserved and there is no distortion in the alignment of the frame. The filler material produces gentle corners for low stress joints, for a bike to last a lifetime.
