This one will get picked up this week as the customer only lives about an hour away by car.
He has a road frame of the same color so hopefully he won't mistake one for the other.....I have done that and jumped onto my CX bike only to realize that I had my road shoes on........
The frame will sport a King 'Dropset-3" in silver to match the seat collar and der. hanger.

WCCX frame with Enve Adventure fork going to NYC
Yes, this one is going to do non-CX duties as well. The fork has all the mounts for bottle cages and/or racks.
The bike will be outfitted with Shimano Di II- should be a fun riding bike for a variety of conditions.

WCCX frame going to Washington, DC
This rider already has a single speed from me so having a second geared bike will probably be nice when the weather gets rainy. This color is the favorite of one of my long time SF customers so it will be nice to have another bike the same color on the other side ofthe country.
The Enve G-series fork has been painted to match.

Steel 650 single speed boost frame and fork
The customer wanted a dedicated single speed so I built this one with rocker dropouts to keep it stylish and functional with east chain tension adjustment. The owner wanted a rigid fork and has no intention of ever using a shock fork.
Even though it is steel it is pretty light. The owner said that he is unlikely to really beat on it and will ride it on dirt roads near where he lives. I made the geometry pretty current so if he ever does decide to ride the steep downhills the bike should feel good.
This one will be built up this week with Shimano XT components and 2.35 tires.

Super tall 7005 frame going to S.C.
They don't get much bigger than this. The rider is 6'9" and I'm sure that he has to have not just his bikes , but all sorts of stuff custom made.
I hope that when he gets on this frame that it feels like home. It has a matte finish and the gold decals were a nice choice. I'll be interested to hear a ride report.

WCCX frame going to BC
This full race CX frame will be hitting the courses of the Pacific Northwest where mud and sometimes snow are what you have to deal with on the course
The owner of this frame was very specific about what he wanted , mainly his position relative to the front axle. Having his hands a few CM behind the axle was key- I hope that I accomplished what he asked for.
The rider is pretty tall so I used a 44 MM ID head tube of about 184 mm. This is longer than the integrated style, especially accounting for the extra 12 mm of lower headset stack.

7005 road frame going to south S.F.
The rider of this bike is maybe 130 lbs. so I was free to use very light tubing. The frame is 2 lb. 15 oz.
The seat stays are smaller diameter as well as thinner wall than what I use on CX bikes or road bikes for larger riders. This one will be set up with a Sram/Easton build.
