Seattle Bike Swap!

So much cool stuff in this building today. I highly recommend anyone in the area come by and check it out today from 9am-2pm.

Come see us tomorrow at the Seattle Bike Swap!

We're clearing out old inventory, including some massively discounted wood frames. We'll also have wheelsets, forks, and tons of other parts - both new and gently used.

There will be a ton of interesting vendors there, so hopefully we don't go home with more parts than we arrived with. 🙂

Saturday, Feb.11 from 9am-2pm at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall

It's happening! ***MADE***
Aug. 24-27 in Portland's Rose Quarter. .bike

This is the first year for this show and the exhibitor list is packed with all the big names. It's been a while since we've exhibited at a show, and this is going to be a fun one.

Mark your calendars to come see what we've been working on.

Ride all day, sleep in the caboose.

Finishing off the week with some quick shots of the latest gravel frameset.

Just putting the finishing touches on this reclaimed oak gravel frameset!

Most of the wood is from a bunch of old oak furniture, and it came together with the help of a few new pieces and some carbon fiber.

This frameset will be on display at the beginning this Friday and then through to the end of June.

Come check it out in person!

Would you build it up and ride it or just display it on the stand?

This no.124 is shipping out to Mill Valley for the Communities on the Move benefit next Monday.

Major thanks to for helping out with parts to turn this frame into a frameset.

Since a lot of the wood for this frame came from my stash of hard maple from Buffalo New York, I've evened it out with figured redwood bottle cages and a display stand made with logs from our backyard here on . It's the best of east and west coast.

Throwback to our first time exhibiting at a bike show!

The Philly Bike Expo is by far our favorite show, which makes it extra difficult to announce that we have decided to cancel our trip this year. 😕

We're just not ready to get back on a plane yet.

We wish everyone a fun and successful show next month, and are looking forward to drooling over the bike photos!

This latest frame set is going to be a blast to ride and will definitely turn some heads on the trails.
It's made with curly red oak and figured walnut, blended together with careful use of the walnut sapwood along with some dark walnut pinstriping through the oak.
The fork compliments the big diameter (and vibration absorption) of the wood frame tubes as well.

A lightweight bike made of wood? It's a thing, and each one is custom built on Vashon Island! 😮 Check out Saint Bryan's chat with the folks behind Normal Bicycles: https://www.king5.com/article/money/business/small-business/normal-bicycles-small-business-vashon-island/281-f6b1ef09-edc0-42cf-a939-1215834599d6
