This bike is worthless without a rider. You are what propels this object. It’s not going to make you faster; it won’t give you bike control or endurance – that’s all up to you! Bike design and geometry help to tailor a bike for intended uses, but you can ride most any bike, mostly anywhere. People are resilient and adaptive, the credit lies within the rider.
“Argue for your limitations and they’re yours” - Richard Bach
I incorporated a small, lightweight, minimal rack into the design. Primarily aimed at making the bike more functional for shorter riders, but as a taller person I also prefer a dry bag on a rack when I need the extra capacity.
Intended use is for trail riding, trail riding with a light load, bikepack racing, S240 routes, overnights. I’ve used mine to tour, commute to work, race cyclocross, get groceries, and deliver items for shipment. It’s versatile, like most bikes.

Three frame sizes: 385, 420, 469 [full geometry chart in pictures]
Made in Bend, OR
Designed around 120mm travel fork, the 385 (small) is designed around 27.5x2.6 wheels (can also fit a 29x2.4), the 420 and 469 are designed around 29x2.6 wheels.
Minimal rear rack included - weighs 12.5 oz / 349 grams
67.5˚ head tube angle keeps the bike agile on switchbacks and low-speed maneuvering. Can easily be made more slack with a 130mm fork or angle-adjust headset
Adjustable chain-stay length allows for one-speed setups or enables a rider to dial in the feel for their preferred chain-stay length (418 – 438mm)
Tallish bottom bracket accepts rider input and lessens crank interface with objects on the ground
Optimized front triangle with bottle bosses to bolt on frame bag
Bottle bosses galore – reinforced top tube bag bosses, underneath down tube bosses, rack bosses on seat stays, bolt on cable guides on the interior of the front triangle
Stainless steel braze ons
Filet-brazed and TIG-welded joining processes
Sliding rear dropouts can be upgraded for a UDH hanger
Post mount dropout insert
Matte walnut powder-coated frames, clear coated racks
Made with Velospec tubing, domestically CNC-machined dropouts, BB, and HT (Paragon), yokes (Cobra). 3D-printed bolt-on cable guides (MF), 3D-printed dropper port (made in China, Yang mfg).
Bikepack-racing DNA.
