Temple’s Curb Crusher

Taylor — Sat, 29 May 2010 21:32:37 +0000

Temple wanted a bike to commute on, and take on trails, while he was commuting.
700c with 40c tires + fenders.
XTR, Paul, Ultegra, Thomson… parts that last.
Brown like chocolate and dirt.
Maybe I’ll deliver it today.

This is Cassidy’s Randonee Machine. Copper plated to help tell stories of adventures yet to be had. Cassidy operates a small shop in Brooklyn called Bespoke Bicycles, be sure to stop in and say hi when you can!

Tyler’s Commuter

Taylor — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 22:45:48 +0000

The ultimate goal for the bike was for Tyler to have a bike to ride to work (blackbirdballard.com) in a suit and not show up sweaty. Almost all the parts and the frame have a black oxide finish that is brushed on by hand and chemically changes the color of the metal. The basic premise of the Oregon Manifest was to build a great transportation machine, that would be raced 77 miles, with after party clothes, beer and party snacks attached.

Richard’s Track Bike

Taylor — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:46:02 +0000

We’ve been working together for a while to get this bike lined up with Richard’s vision. The color is BMW metallic space grey (by Dustin Mine). Dedacciai tubing, and a mix of Dura-Ace and NOS 600 components. Watch out for some serious miles on this one!
