Im Back Baby!

     Ive been spending most of my time the past couple years posting and showcasing work on Instagram.  Due to the toxic nature and state of the platform I am planning on shifting most of my content to this blog.  Instagram's algorithm, and the fact that you have to pay to get people to see your posts has led me to conclude that the platform is dead.  Since I was last posting about my race bike, here are a couple photos of the state that its in now.

Cheers!

Solo Chopper Seats!

Got to try out my little slip roll last night.  Rolled out this solo seat pan.  Turns out great!  So much better than hand hammering!

Leather Solo Seats Now in the Shop!

I got my first black leather solo seat made and listed up in the shop.  These are designed to fit standard solo seat hinges and solo seat springs.  This seat could also be mounted in your custom application.

xs 650 King and Queen custom seat

I finished up this king and queen seat for a customer last weekend.  Customer supplied the raw pan and I did the rest.  Turned out rad!

Just listed in the shop today!

Been spending alot of time in the stabbin cabin stitching seats.  Got this cool dark brown/burgundy color in and stitched a couple of seats from it.  Im calling it Dirty Ron Burgundy.  The tuck and roll seat is stitched with narrower pleats than what I usually make...  Seats came out rad!  Digging this new color.

Fasthouse - The Ride

Check out this rad video from the Fasthouse.  Ricky Diaz's xs650 ripping!  I hooked Ricky up with a seat pan months ago, he covered it on his own and built a sick xs!

Counter Balance Cycles Shop Bike

Ive been meaning to do a few things for the past year or two.  I want to make a set of instructions for the products that I make and sell, and I also wanted to use my parts to make a 'shop bike'.  This little beast is going to be the base for all of the above.
