Museum of Arts and Design

There’s more information on the MAD website now about the exhibition I’m a part of – I mentioned it last week. All very exciting. I don’t think I’ll be able to get there in person (which is a shame) but flattered and fascinated by the view of the bicycle and bicycle building it presents. […]

Another little movie

Here’s another clip from my video experiments. I still can’t get the sound to transfer so you’ll have to imagine (for now) the wind noise, occasional tire/trail fx and me muttering something or other at the end.

Next up might well be a rear facing camera looking at a six-speed set-up in action. For now […]

Busy – nothing to announce (yet)

Sorry, realize I haven’t blog’ed for a while but I’ve been busy. A few steel and titanium bikes have been built, prepped and shipped to customers and I’m doing a lot of new stuff too. Several plans are coming together pretty well and the future’s bright. It’s very much wait and see though – […]

Shop project

As well as sorting the new H-bars and the Merlin-built Jones’ I’ve also had some time (thankfully) to get back in the shop and do my thing. I’m working on some new ideas and I’ve been thinking, sketching, measuring, machining and welding when I can. It’s exciting.

Fat Forks

I’ve had some comments back from one of the first few people to fit my fat fork to a standard bike. Seems to be working for him… “I have finally been able to get out on the Chameleon with the fat tire/fork combo on some longer and more technical rides. The geometry handles very […]

Darkness and snow

I had a good long ride last night that went into the night. I didn’t take a light because I thought I could make it back before dark but the snow slowed me. When I went to get my back up emergency light that I always keep in my pack – I couldn’t find it. […]

Fat Fork

This is now a frameset option – a truss fork that will take a standard 29″ wheel (and provide heaps of clearance) but also a standard front hub fitted a fat rim capable of running a 3.7″ tire. It is not just for snow (it just happens to be snowing in these parts at […]
