Bottom line is that I love the bike. Your workmanship and professionalism are inspirational. I had been contemplating a Strong for a few years. I am oh, so thankful I took the plunge. I am very impressed with the S&S couplers. They really are transparent, feel-wise.

Carl/Loretta,I wanted to give you some feedback on my frame purchase from the spring. In short, has turned out great. Very light and not noodly like other steel frames I have ridden. The build was worth the time and investment for me and your attention to detail with dropouts and braize-ons is first rate. The […]

Long time no speak, hope you’re doing well. Better late than never, here’s a picture of my two favorite things (in matching outfits no less)! Phoebe’s nearly 6 months old, very sweet and pretty like her mother, cranky and stubborn like me. She’s really a ton of fun, even if she cuts deeply into riding […]

…Rosie is f@^#%in’ awesome (yep, that’s her name – Rosie Strong). I now understand what “responsive” means. She goes everywhere I want and nowhere that I don’t. She rides like she’s on rails. When I’m in the drops and remove one hand to point out an obstacle, she doesn’t waver at all. And I can […]

” After all the excitement of ordering, designing, and building up my new Strong, I was actually a little nervous to take my first test ride. Would it be everything I hope it to be, would I be disappointed, ……….? After just a few pedal strokes I had an incredible grin on my face and […]
