BOTW: A Dream Sarto Raso Takes Flight
JP's Sarto was one of our favorite builds we've had a chance to be a part of. Not just because we connected on our mutual love for all things aviation, but also because he was just fun to work with. When we started talking about the various builders and bikes...

BOTW: A Neapolitan Sarto Raso
When we start working with a client we like to ask how they found out about us, it's often because of the journal. Chris found inspiration in a prior Sarto Raso build and when it came time to sit down to talk about what he'd like, it became more or...

No. 22 Drifter Redux
Emporia, Kansas. Normally when you tell someone they look like they've put on weight it is not always received as a compliment, but in the case of the reincarnation of the No. 22 Drifter it certainly is. Sitting out at the Unbound Bicycle Expo in downtown Emporia, Kansas for all...

Pinarello bikes are fast. Pinarello bikes are sexy. Pinarello bikes are created to look great. Pinarello bikes are designed to win races. It’s not often a company can please both the design snobs and the racer snobs, let alone do it across multiple disciplines. But Pinarello has done just that...
