Below are a couple travel bikes I’m just finishing up for Merle and Dianne. Merle has several bikes of mine and this will be the first for his wife Dianne. They are both Custom Blend steel road frames with S&S couplings and will be assembled with Sram Force build kits. Because of the rough nature of packing these things into the small 26×26x10 cases they’ll be getting powder coated rather than painted.

Here is bike we just shipped to Olso Norway. I had a hard time giving this one up. It’s exactly what I want for an MTB. It’s a Custom Blend titanium 29er with a Sram XO 2 x 10 and Fox F29 100 and custom Stan’s rims with Chris King hubs. Enjoy Marius!

Here is Chet’s Custom Blend steel road frame. It  has swoopy stays and is getting a really cool paint job. This bike is a complete build so you’ll be seeing it again when it’s all done.

Lasts week I built two steel frames. The first was Darryl’s Cyclocross frame. I’ve posted pictures of the build below. It’s a mix of True Temper S3 and OX Platinum along with Columbus Life S-bend Chainstays and some True Temper Seatstays that I bent. The second frame I built was for Chet and I’ll post it tomorrow.

Thought I’d post some of the frames and bikes that have shipped in the last week or two. I’ve got a few more I’ll add in a days to come. These are Marcia’s steel 29er, Malcolm’s titanium road and Trevor’s steel road.
