The Chris King Bling: Part III
While bicycle do technically have teeth, it’s fairly uncommon to see them augmented with a rhinestone studded grill. Is that really a thing? Do we all know what a blinged-out grill is? See here, here, and here for examples. Are you ready to upgrade your ride? Who best to do...

Day 7 - The Founder's Daily Driver
First off, I want to give a heartfelt apology to everyone who got bumped off the list by me getting my bike on here. I love all the bikes that we’re fortunate enough to build on a yearly basis and wish we had enough days to get them all up....

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds Day 6 - This One Goes Round and Round
We’ll admit it, we cheated a bit with this post. As you can tell by the group, the cockpit and the wheels, we did not build this Pegoretti in 2018. In fact, we didn’t even build it, though we wish we got to, if that counts for anything. This belongs...

If the last two bikes seemed a bit classic for your tastes, this next bike might be a little more up your alley. The latest, Tour De France proven, Pinarello rocket ship is a fantastic take on the modern road racing bike. Wireless, electronic shifting, disc brakes, tubeless ready aero...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds: Day 4 - A Captivating Corretto
Shifting gears from Italian steel to Australian titanium, our fourth featured bike is this incredible example of a Baum Corretto.

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds: Day 3 - Dario's Duende Legacy
On the heels of a sweet OPEN, Day three shows off a bike much more at home on the blacktop. The Piazza paint scheme on this Duende was one of the two last paint schemes that Dario designed so we didn’t have enough time to build this in a lot...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds: Day 2 - An AC Classic with a Twist
If we had a factory team right now, this could very well be our Works adventure race bike. Painted in Above Category black, white and blue and featuring as much componentry from our friends in Chicago and Indianapolis as is possible this bike is decked out with a SRAM Red...
