The ultimate all-road machine, this bike is ready to take you anywhere.

Here is a final version of the Mini Velo we’ve been working on for the past year. It’s gone through several iterations to figure out the best handling and features and this bike was built to test all the goodness at one time. It passed all the tests, and now it’s time to put this bike out into the world.

This is a personal bike that I’m ready to part ways with. It’s a classic lugged single speed with a flip-flop rear hub, fixed gear on one side, freewheel on the other. It has classic Long Shen long point lugs, and a relaxed, road bike geometry.

Once upon a time there was an American manufacturer for steel bicycle tubing called True Temper. They made one of my all-time favorite lines of tubes — OX Platinum. There are other great bicycle tubes out there, but these had something special about them. Some might even call it magic.

Originally built to be shown at the Portland Art Museum, this one-of-a-kind stainless steel touring bike pushed the limits for what I could accomplish in a single bike build.

The frame and fork are made from hand-polished KVA stainless steel, and the racks and stem are polished and chrome plated chromoly steel. The bike and racks break down and fit into a travel case, and beyond being something it’s hard to take your eyes off of, it rides so nice.
