Handbuilt to help get you lost
Scott's is my 8th Titanium frame, built in February. He lives in Bend, Oregon and just shared some great pics of the bike while riding out in his backyard -- a mix of BLM roads and trails that seem to go on forever, lucky guy! He wanted something that would primarily be used on dirt... Continue Reading →
Flashback Friday...today 9 years ago i built my first frame (outside of the class i took in 2010). Meriwether Cycles, LLC was established in 2013 and since then has produced 135 frames and 70 forks. This year is already unlike any other for a lot of reasons but I have about 8 frames in the... Continue Reading →
Ok I guess this is a gravel bike? I can't seem to get myself to call this style bike a "Gravel" bike. It just doesn't accurately describe what it's built to do. Rivendell had a model called the Allrounder many years ago and I always wanted one as a 20-something retrogrouch in Boulder. To me... Continue Reading →
Flashback 5 years to a birthday fatbike ride where a bunch headed up to Truckee to spend a few days in the sun and mountains. It was a very mild winter in 2015, as the last 3 had been, so there’s not a lot of snow and temps were up in the mid-60’s. It really... Continue Reading →

Prior to this I had attempted the Colorado Trail in 2001 with two friends only to get snowed out on day 2. It was early September, just before 911, and it snowed over a foot in Bailey…game...

From the Archives, originally posted January 1st, 2015. Happy New Year!Travis Brown interview on everything fat and where Trek and Bontrager fall into that world. I met Travis while living in Boulder, Colorado over 15 years ago. I was starting to ride for the grassroots Ionic-Nema MTB racing team (a baggy shorts pro team!) in... Continue Reading →
From the archives, this time 4 years ago. My old website had some blog posts on it that i'll be transferring here week by week. The first one has been requested and being wintertime it's a good fit. 12/21/15 The idea: Mike came to me with a desire to build a bike around the soon... Continue Reading →
Carol wanted a bike to replace her beloved old Indy Fab but with an updated fit and updated parts. The bike is a true allrounder with geometry for gravel rides, touring, and allroad use but it'll primarily be used for commuting all year round so i suggested to outfit it with a SON eDelux headlight,...
