Meet Your Maker Tour

Announcing the Meet Your Maker Tour!

Special thanks to Sean at Soulcraft for getting this thing started!  This is an actual outdoor ride miles away from the nearest convention hall.  The Meet Your Maker Tour is your invitation to ride and hang out with some of Northern California's best bicycle frame builders and component makers. If you're in the market for custom bike, come on out and talk to the local builders in person while we spend time doing what we really love, riding bikes! 

Point your internet web site browser over to www.meetyourmakertour.com, follow us on the Twitter, the Facebook, and add us to your Rolodex(tm)! Whatever. We'll be riding bikes and you should join us!

Aluminate Feedback

Sometimes shit just works out well - thanks to Jason Grove, Jason Montano, Nate Barnett, Alta Design and Willow Glen bike shop for helping me bring this concept to reality.

Text message from Nate today:

"The bike rides like a dream! It is amazing how much control I have and how responsive it is without being twitchy. It climbs SF hills like a beast too!"

I promise to get better pictures at NAHBS of this bike - look for it in the Broakland booth if you're going to Sactown!

Aluminate Prototype Parts

I picked up the prototype batch of CNC parts for the Aluminate project and all I can say is they turned out awesome. The dropouts are lower yoke are stout but not overly heavy. Interest in track frames has been increasing since I started posting about this project - looking forward to next steps in getting some frames built!
