TiFLW in Gloss White and Matte Black

The Titanium Factory Lightweight is only offered with the 2-color paint scheme pictured below. We've seen a lot of great color combinations go out of the factory but there's something so nice about the high contrast of white and black.

Full Titanium Builds

Here's a brand new Ti Crown Jewel for Casey. Casey's frame has a shot peen finish with a mix of black and white decals. It features a 44mm head tube and PressFit 30 bottom bracket. We used a tapered carbon fork to compliment his head tube.


Next is a Ti Club Racer with an IF steel fork for Anne. Anne chose a 3/4 paint job with shot peened panels and rear triangle. She paired Midnight Blue Metallic with Omaha Orange and topped it off with Orange on White decals.

SSRs for Studio Velo

Below are two recent stainless steel frames for Studio Velo in Mill Valley, CA. It was great for us to see each customer's personality shine through in their new frame.

Tim's frame has a full polish. It's shown with Midnight Blue Metallic straight panels and our Black on White decals. It also has a PressFit 30 bottom bracket.


Mark's frame has a 3/4 paint job with a polished rear triangle. His Corsa Red and Gloss Black paint scheme was inspired by our Ti Factory Lightweight. Great idea Mark! We love how this one turned out.


Thank you Tim, Mark, and Studio Velo.

Kinoko Cycles is Born

If you're in the London area you may know them as Tokyo Fixed, though the shop is about to change gears and become Kinoko Cycles, a custom road specialty shop. The new shop will open on May 16th, and the fellas are kicking it off by displaying a brand new Gravel Royale. Here's a quick look at the frame.

Matte Crown Jewels

Matte finishes look sharp, and we've been having a lot of fun doing them lately (more please!). Here's a recent Steel Crown Jewel in Vanilla Shake with Corsa Red and Silver logos for Daisuke in Japan.


And here's another Steel Crown Jewel in Black and Quetzal Green Metallic with a large down tube logo treatment for Velo Cafe Magasin in Belfast.

His and Hers Club Racers

Here's a pair of steel Club Racers with S&S couplers, built for Charlie and Rhonda DeWeese. Charlie's frame is Omaha Orange and Rhonda's frame is Hot Pink – both frames have Vanilla Shake and Gloss Black details in common. We topped them off with Wound Up carbon road forks, painted to match of course.
