The Sizemore Oregon Manifest bike is on display at the Wholefoods Market on westlake to promote a raffle for a Sizemore single speed road frame… Tickets are $10, and 100% of the proceeds go to the Whole Planet Foundation. If you don’t know, Whole Planet gives small loans to the poorest parts of the world, their most expensive loan is around 180 bucks, that is enough for someone to start a business, giving them a very handsome shot at becoming a necessary part of their community.
Small print.
The bike to be raffled will consist of one single speed frame and fork with brake cable routing, and a black oxide finish, stock geometry, built to your proportions. Extra modifications, custom geometry, extremely abnormal body dimensions, paint job, anything else not stated, will come at a standard rate.
What’s up lately.
I have some really great photos of Tyler Johnson’sOregon Manifest bike that my good friend Tal Roberts took.
Moving my shop into a space off Alaskan Way very close to downtown Seattle… pictures of that soon.
There are some really amazing bikes coming up, in the meantime go check out those photos.
Right now I’m in the middle of building the Oregon Manifest bike that will be raced by Tyler Johnson. I started the bike early so we would have plenty of time to build it up and hand craft some bags and things that will be part of it. All I can tell you right now is that it will be black.
Big thanks to Blackbird for letting me do this jersey with them. Blackbird is definitely one of the very best menswear (and candy!) stores I’ve ever been to, I’m lucky to have these guys support and friendship! You must stop by if you are ever in Seattle.
The jersey sells for $110 at blackbird and is a mega limited run.
I flew out to the Bicycle Film Festival with my girlfriend Kelsey, and Jake Ricker… Our bikes arrived at Bespoke Bicycle in Brooklyn (thanks Cassidy!), got to visit friends, and had a great time.
Today I picked up Richard’s Track frame from paint, and before I left I took some pictures of Jason Maggied’s new track frame and shipped it out to SF (now up on the bicycle page).
