Entanglement

Interesting stuff happens around the edges. At the inflexion point between you and the bike, you and the landscape. The entanglement between the parts of the bike and what you do with it, the result being the search for joy. 

The joy of riding, racing, adventuring, just being active. 

What appears simple on the surface is complex. Take the frame building. Or an adventure. Or finding a path through the woods. 

We find patterns and routes through things based on experience, knowledge, skill, and the input of others. Frame building is, on the surface, a fairly lonely activity. You stand at a bench and work with some metal to produce a bike. It doesn’t appear to require input from anyone else, but it does. It needs you, the rider. It needs the skill of the framebuilder to understand the materials and translate your preferred characteristics into dimensions for your bike.

There’s this discussion that happens, we talk about where you want to go with your bike, and what you want to use it for. What excites you about the bike you can see in your head? I think that’s the real joy of building the bikes, a match of form and function. I get to build this thing that will make you smile.

If you're interested in having a bike that excites you, get in touch.
