Rides

Rides I’ve been on – on my own, with others, test-riding new bikes, trying new things

Spring Thaw race in Ashland

We loaded up the bus and went to Ashland for the Spring Thaw  kids race and downhill this past weekend. We all had fun.

I ended up pinching my rear tube in rocks near the start which left me with a flat tire by the time I got to the last few turns and final […]

A ride in Spain

It looks like James had a nice ride in Spain.

Here’s his photo set on Flickr.

“The steel Jones is incredible when loaded up, it shouts at rocks to get out of the damn way and when they don’t listen it plows through them anyway. None of the rocks actually did move, so it probably speaks […]

I rode up the mountain Saturday evening, spent the night and rode back the next morning.

I can see California from here.

First ride up top since snow melt

I’ve been very busy in the shop building wheels and bikes.

I caught up enough with orders that I decided to go out and ride up to the top.

I rode the diamond bike with the new partial frame pack. I’ll have the partial and the full pack in stock soon.

The ride up is mostly paved […]

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 – […]

Mountain Bike Oregon road trip

I drove the VW up to Oakridge for Mountian Bike Oregon in July. The riding was great! I’ll be heading back up for the second event of the summer this weekend.

I’ll bring a bike for me to ride and a couple of others. Stop by the bus and check them out.

Each day of riding […]

Boatman’s ride

Jeff has been riding his bike.

Cut from Jeff’s email with permission:
“I got out on a few multi-surface rides last week, and did some of my favorite high country singletrack trails this weekend. I’m loving the bike.
Everything is working out great. Your build is a work on art in itself. I love all the […]
