Andrew started Bedrock Bags some years ago and I've had a handful (bag-ful?) of bags made by him over the years. I learned of Bedrock when visiting a friend in Durango in 2014 when we stopped in at Revolution Cycles and chatting with Joey who now happens to work at Bedrock too. The bike is...

Tim is getting himself a nice 50th birthday present here with a Ti gravel bike with Shimano GRX, ENVE stem, seatpost, fork, and G23 wheels. The blue bits include a White Industries headset which matches pretty nicely with the Wolftooth seat tube collar and bar tape on Ritchey Butano bars. It's hard to find a... Continue Reading →

Craig's fat/29+ is a true multi-purpose overlander that calls the PNW it's home. He swaps between 26x4.8" or 29x3" wheelsets depending on the ride and conditions. I built it with a sleeved unicrown fat fork but it has suspension-adjusted geometry for a 120mm fork. The powdercoat is so awesome when it hits the sunlight...

Ron was convinced to give a Meriwether a try by his good friend Dale who has been riding a Ti 27.5 for a few years. We had a bit of a delay (understatement) in the Shimano parts arriving because of the Covid supply shortage, but eventually enough parts arrived and I was able to find... Continue Reading →

Sue spends a ton of time on her bike at home and around the world. She's up in AK and was influenced by Nick's pink bike some years ago. Before this bike she had a Mone' La Roca and loved it but wanted a little longer version to fit her better and get a little... Continue Reading →

That one is a crazy lookin frame! There isn't another like it out there with the curved wishbone seatstays. Sean wanted a frame and fork for his riding around central Alaska. It's suspension adjusted geometry, high BB to clear all that snow, has rear rack mounts, short chainstays with Rocker dropouts, and fits 26x4.8's, 29x3's,... Continue Reading →

Isaac’s 27.5+ frame and fork are build to be together, the fork being non-suspension adjusted in length. The frame has the largest front triangle allowable without hurting him too bad if he slips out of the pedals and lands on the top tube… There are a ton of bosses on the frame and fork to... Continue Reading →

Jason's steel frame and fork are built for the long haul with a classic klunker look. He requested a frame geometry he knew he loved, but with adjustable dropouts to modify chainstay length and wheelbase. Frame and fork have lots of bosses to attach water and bags including the now popular bosses on the lower... Continue Reading →

I built this bike for myself to try some new things and to allow some adjustable geometry. For one it has a PF30 BB shell so i can use it as a singlespeed, Rohloff, or with a regular rear derailleur but the cooler part is one can raise or lower the BB height by rotating... Continue Reading →

Matt wanted an allroad-style bike but using smaller diameter Ti tubing and a now old school 1-1/8” head tube for a non-tapered steerer steel fork. He wanted us to build a forever bike. The smaller diameter tubing is a little lighter, has a more classic road frame aesthetic, and is more compliant than the now... Continue Reading →

Stu wanted a fatbike for winter riding but also a frameset that would work with a second 29x3 wheelset for summer riding and to use as a bikepacking rig. The look with the bent top tube and arched wishbone seatstays was a design I did a lot of in the early years and works well... Continue Reading →

This is Pete's 2nd Meriwether, the first being a steel fatbike frameset and rear rack for winter adventures or summertime desert wandering. This new frame is similar in geometry to his fatbike also having a long head tube for the upright position he favors and big framebag space for storage. The new frame of course... Continue Reading →

Timmy's second Meriwether is a light steel allroad bike that was built right around when "gravel" was starting to be used for this style of bike. He coined it RAD, or Ride All Day. All Reynolds 853 7/4/7 tubing except for the Columbus chainstays. No through axles but QR's, fits 700x40's and maybe a little... Continue Reading →

I built a lot of fatbikes in 2015 and here was one with a glow-in-the-dark clear coat. Pretty sweet idea for night riding! The low standover frame fit 26x4.8's and is still ridden to this day in the Colorado high country in winter.

This was my first customer from another country, Torsten in Germany. I haven't received any new photos but these are from his first ride and then from his first tour in Oman. He wanted the frame raw and got it painted with a carbon fork near him so I never got to see this awesome... Continue Reading →

Because I switched over in 2014 to another website that i switched back from in 2018, I am going to post a TBT photo of each bike I built in that missing 4 year time period that doesn't have a Build Report (assuming i have a photo for the complete build). So here goes. First... Continue Reading →

This winter when i was laid up in bed recovering from surgery on my knee, I put out a call for help in finding a physical therapist that would help me get back to doing what I love to do. There are a lot of PT's and chains out there but i wanted someone like... Continue Reading →

Jay is the proprietor of YouBet bikes in Nevada City, CA. Kurt of YouBet also got a bike but of the Ti gravel type, and I just wrote a build report of his wife Carrie's 650 steel gravel bike! Full house of Meriwether's there! Jay's bike started with some very rough hand drawn sketches on... Continue Reading →
