Dammit Carl ! Every time I take delivery of a bike from Bozeman, I end up selling a bunch of other bikes. I’m running out of other bikes to sell, and the ones I’m left with mostly say “Strong” on them. These are so good, the others just don’t get ridden any more. The first […]

I’ve put a few hundred miles on my new custom steel frame, and I wanted to let you know it’s great!

You absolutely nailed the fit, which is even more impressive when you consider that […]

Carl actually made this frame for me three years ago in a silver-gray finish, and here it is with updated paint. Each riding season, I am once again amazed at how precisely the bike fits me and my riding style. The dimensions and choice of materials are spot-on. I do several 100+ mile rides each […]
