For decades I have been the riding buddy who is called on by all my friends for advice, trailside repair, in shop maintenance, research resource and encourager to get the bike of your dreams. If you don’t have that riding buddy in your crew I can be that person for you! I am just as excited as you are to help you get your dream bike! It’s my passion to help fellow riders get their bikes performing better, more comfortable, and make you want to get out to the trails more with it!! Maybe even encourage you to book that next bike trip!
I have been doing this for a long time, working in bike shops as a teen, running mountain bike programs for summer camps, owning and operating a bike retail business in the late 90’s. For me it all started with a 1994 Rocky Mountain Hammer that fueled my early mountain biking passion for riding and tinkering with the bike. That frame saw itself get built up in so many different configurations; XC, trail hardtail, trials bike, early freeride hardtail, teaching me how to ride and maintain mountain bikes along the way. It still lives in my shop today built up as my dream retro ride. Since then I’ve built countless custom dream bikes over this time for myself, friends and clients. The first full custom bike that I did for a client was a 2000 Santa Cruz Superlight dream build that is actually still in the collection of the original owner! I would love to help you get your dream bike that will push you to ride harder, farther and have more fun on the trails!
