FRAMES
TIG welded or Fillet Brazed; Track, Road, 29er, 96er, MTB, Randonneur
or Touring. All frame designs can be singlespeed or geared or can be made
to suit Rohloff's internally geared hub, or to come apart for air travel;
using Columbus,
or TrueTemper tubing. I can make a frame with my geometry to suit your
size, or a custom geometry frame to your favourite design for a bit extra.
All my frames are 'faced', 'chased' and treated inside with corrosion
inhibitor: the headtube reaming and facing tool ensures perfect headset
alignment, often never done well on production frames. The BB shell threads
are cleaned up with an axial-guided thread tap to ensure they are perfect,
and another facing tool is used on outer faces of the BB shell to ensure
they are flat and square after the distortion that welding creates.

 My
new 29er, with a bent seat-tube allowing short chainstays for even better
handling. The short chainstays transform the handling of this 29er, making
it easier to loft the front wheel and lift the rear wheel, with all the
smooth-rolling benefits of a 29er in rough terrain .....more
S and S Machine make the original frame couplers that enable any
type of otherwise standard frame to breakdown into two parts and be able
to be packed into a suitcase just big enough to hold a 700C wheel..........more
An alternative to the S and S couplers; a road or mountainbike frame
can separate into two parts and most except larger size bikes can fit
in a 'standard size' suitcase or box for air-travel and avoid excess baggage
charges. These frame joints are lightweight, solid and robust as you'd
expect of a Ritchey component. ....more

96er
 With
a 26" MTB rear wheel and 29er front wheel, this is the frame I've
built for others, and would like to have for myself. The front end feels
totally solid and stable while the smaller rear wheel retains the quicker
response of a smaller-wheeled bike.

tyres. In Columbus
