I went a little crazy building bikes during the last two years as a way to keep my hands busy. Most of these bikes I’ve sold, a few I’ve kept. Most are weird builds, just because I like to try different things.
Starting from my current bikes that I’ve kept:
Orbea Rise, eMTB. Electric mountain bike, a ton of fun. Makes doing big elevation rides a lot easier. My current main ride.Binary Bikes Chuparosa. Titanium hardtail, 29″ front, 27.5″ rear wheel. Keeping it, I just can’t stop looking at it.Franken-Pig: 2011 Ragley Blue Pig Mk II, 650b drop bar monstercross conversion. I’ve had this frame since new. So weird, I love it. Most of the history of this bike has been documented here: https://liuandrew.com/bikes/Velo Orange Neutrino, 20″ mini-velo that fits and rides almost like a normal bike. Lives in the van.
Now onto the bikes that I’ve built and since sold, from the most recent:
Specialized P2. Dirt Jumper. Candy Apple Red powdercoat, looks amazing.Surly Krampus. Gotta have a rigid singlespeed, and the paint has red glitter in it that sparkles in the sun.BrandX hardtail, parts bin build. I actually shipped this home to Michigan so I can ride when I visit 🙂Ferrum Bikes LV. Steel full-suspension trail bike, a little heavy, just not for me.Soma Wolverine V2. Pretty cool bike, but too flexy.State 4130 All-Road. Small size, purple tires.Specialized Sequoia, with albatross bars. Weird, but not much need for this one. Sold it in Portland during my visit.Rad Bikes RadRunner. Cheap eBike. Just so weird. And heavy.2016 Trek Slash 7. My old mountain bike, geometry was getting a bit dated.2019 Ragley Blue Pig. Sold the frame. Didn’t have the magic of the 2011 one.Soma Double Cross. Got the frameset for a steal, pretty slick ride.Raleigh Clubman. $50 frame, spare parts build. Not bad, all things considered.Traitor Cutlass. I had the frame since college, but never really clicked with it. Built the rear wheel around a Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub.On-One Inbred, another parts bin build. This bike was tiny in real life.
