Becoming Fast Friends. 👌🏽💨👌🏽
Not surprisingly, this bike is magical. Burnsey (Oddity) created a masterpiece. The V2 Squid Fork rides beautifully; the entire package is so snappy. Bellingham was a beautiful backdrop for our first real miles. The feeling of a completely titanium bike down to the contact points is special. Alive in a way other materials can’t mimic or match. ✨😁✨
Built as the little sibling to the Btchn MADE 32, using Paragon Sliding UDH Dropouts for an eventual swap to gears. Wolf Tooth hubs laced to Mavic All Road Rims (wrapped in the most dynamic rubber) fitted with a Wheels MFG SS Kit = Zippy AF! 🫡
5 Dev Ti Cranks, Klamper’s, Reform Saddle, and a full WT finish kit round things out. Dancing in the dappled light of Forest Park is nothing short of a treat; a dream bike for sure. 🍂🍁🍂

Classic all-road frame ready to hit the paint! 🎨 sometimes, a bit of minimalism and simple lines is nice!

Clearance for 700x50, QR, disc and oversized headtube 👌

Limitless Performance… (other than me!) 🤣
Some things simply pair well together, and my Seeker got an overhaul for its showing in the Ceramic Speed booth at MADE this year. The new Hunt 4 AM (early riser) Limitless Carbon wheels being the biggest change.👌🏽
Science is real, Earth is round, birds exist, and these wheels fly. Super light, incredibly stable, blisteringly fast - color me impressed. Not bad to look at either, especially wrapped in perfectly seasoned dynamic rubber. Went with stainless spokes instead of carbon, these will be winter workhorse jams and durability beats weight savings. 💨⚖️💨
Looking forward to dancing in the dappled light as the leaves turn, gonna have to hit the brakes every now and again to soak in the views. 🍂💕🍂

Our Lost Sierra bike camping trip was the last “official” “unofficial”group trip of the summer (maybe). We rode bikes and swam in the lake and had a talent show and did some star gazing and slept in the dirt and Sierra surprised us with an aid station on the second day and it was really fucking sweet and fun. Let me just get sentimental for a minute here. For me, these trips aren’t even really about riding bikes. I mean they are, but they really aren’t. To me these are an excuse to get a bunch of like-minded folks out in nature, away from cars and cell service and AI and politics (well maybe). To get people sitting around talking in-person, without electronic distractions, drinking out of rivers and swimming in lakes, and shitting in the woods without a toilet. This is a connection with nature and each other that I think is really important. There are usually a couple newbies that might start the trip feeling super nervous, and end the trip feeling empowered and proud, as they should. I’m just the dummy that shares a route and says “Let’s go!”, but it’s you amazing folks that constantly surprise me with how sweet, helpful, funny, smart, and WEIRD humans can be. Honestly, you’re the type of people that make life worth living for me, so 🙌THANK YOU🙌 to all the people new and old who have come out to these for the last 5 years (!). This is what community looks like, and this is what makes this world worth trying to live in for me. 🖤

So. Damn. Good. 💕👌🏽💕
It’s pretty special when everything comes together perfectly. Tyler from Btchn’ Bikes hit a home run with this 32’ Ti Flat Bar Gravel (Hybrid?🤷🏽‍♂️).
I rode it gingerly for a month before MADE, but the gloves are off! From Mt. Ashland, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, to the Lost Sierra, this bike tackled everything with grace, and is quickly becoming one of my favorites. 💯🎟️💯
With a crazy tucked rear end, this Ti Bandito snaps to attention and maintains nearly effortless speed. Geared to climb, the 32-52 combo is perfect. The new Berd Sparrow wheels are SO light and springy, who needs suspension? The custom ultralight San Util framebag is the icing on the cake, keeping all the snacks and camera gear safe and easy to grab. 📸🥪🍪
Built by friends, executed to perfection. It’s impossible not to smile when I see it, and every ride involves giggles. Full breakdown below, 19.5 pounds with pedals. 💨⚖️💨

Get ready y’all! We’re proud to once again be a sponsor and have the honor of printing the shirts for the Paradise Royale Mountain Bike Race down in beautiful Shelter Cove, Ca.
If you haven’t ridden the loop down there, or conquered the legendary Prince Of Pain climb you are not a true Nor Cal mountain biker.
Event is October 10th. Pre registration is open now so you can commit early before you have a chance to chicken out.
Big thanks to @mbttabikeclub for pushing the stoke in our area and always including us in the shenanigans.

Twins / Double Trouble! 😵‍💫🔥😵‍💫
This is the final pre-production prototype of the Stinner Refugio 32, alongside my 700c Refugio Podium, built to match as closely as possible. Having ridden the original prototype at Sea Otter, we “made” a few geometry and design tweaks. Rides like a dream! 🎟️🛠️🎟️
These frames enter production soon, and I look forward to getting the final version with some exciting new additions. Honored to help prove the concept with Stinner. This bike is so damn fast! 💨💨💨
A couple of highlights:
- SRAM Red / XX SL Mullet
- Industry Nine Prototype Wheels
- Silca Rubber
- Ogle MADE Ti Chainring
- Wolf Tooth Olive Finish Kit (Zesty!)
- Camp and Go Slow Tape (Always)
