Here you'll find quality single speed stuff. All fabricated in the mountains of North Carolina. Nothing against China, I just don't make my stuff there.

I went, it was AWESOME. The folks associated with the event were steller, diplomatic, caring, and completely on it. The town of Aviemore was pretty lame as far as towns in Scotland go, but the trail system surrounding it was complete and quick to get to. I ate haggis every single day, really. The mountain cafe was my favorite eats, probably because it was a New Zealander's creation so their was a mindfullness to the creation of the foodstuffs. Acutally, it would be my favorite brunch if it were in Asheville. Douchers IPA became my favorite beer of all time. Room temerature and very drinkable. The race was SO MUCH FUN! 300 peeps on a 5mile loop? It worked. First lap was interesting because I got out in front pretty quick and felt like I was in the woods alone the whole time. Second lap, started passing folks who weren't all too interested in speed. Third lap saw a few folks actually going for it, and it was getting crowded. Fourth lap was passing all the folks who were really decent riders, and there were a bunch of passes going on in some very tight and technical trails! The rocky drops were getting slicker, and the roots were ever more exposed. Fith lap was MAYHEM! everyone was feeling the ride, the NOBODY wanted to be passed, dispite the fact that I was hollering in advance that I was on my 5th lap, and almost assuredly ahead of them. Saw some gnarly tumbles, nearly wiped out myself on several occations. Fastest lap for me, finishing with a sprint that I had no idea I was capable of. I think I placed 6th...I dunno. It was cool. Drove down to Edinbourgh the next day and stumbled around half out of my wits from the previous day's effort, got lost wondering in and out of the "close's" up and down the Royal Mile. Ended up with a LARGE plate of fish and chips and a douchers IPA at some wonderful little pub. Aye, what a trip!
OMG, it's late in the summer?!

So if any of y'all didn't know this, here it is from the horse’s mouth. "I'm a one man show." There it is. Sometimes I get comments like "maybe it's time to hire someone" or stuff along those lines. Well, that would be pretty sweet if I could make two livings off simple single speed parts, let alone my own! Meanwhile, I apologize for some of the delays I've had in communication, etc. I'm still trying to figure out how to balance all my responsibilities. I think I'm getting better. On top of that, I just quit doing carpentry in order to better align my life with bicycles and this here company. First order of business is a new product that I can't wait to show you!

Somehow this idea of “training” got passed on to me earlier this year. I feel like I may have been the least likely candidate to bring structure into my riding life, but it happened. I’ve always scoffed at the idea of “training”, possibly not wanting to admit that someone else’s ideas might help ME be faster…or maybe that having to try was an admission of failure. Whatever the case, I’m over that silliness. I picked up Joe Friel’s book, bought a trainer, a gym membership and a powertap. All these things I’ve poo-poo’d in the past, but I’m now excited to be using. Having been an obsessive rider for the past sixteen years, I don’t think that making this one all about being fast will detract from my “soul rider” path. Besides, it’s for the Single Speed Worlds in Scotland. How cool will that be?
