Ilsina’s 27.5+ was built as an every day MTB, full fender commuter, and bikepacker. Throw a suspension fork on and it becomes a full-on trail whip. The tubeset and butt profiles were selected for her height and weight with the goal of making a light steel frame that could still handle loaded trail riding. Biggest front triangle possible with the desired standover and fork length, which you can see holds a beautiful frame bag that she built herself, along with the two handlebar bags! The frame has a portage handle for picking the bike up when you can’t grab the top tube. It’s got full fender bosses for 2.25’s and rack mounts for a Tumbleweed T-rack (cut 1cm shorter to hug the rear tire closer). The segmented fork has triple bosses for gear and an arch to mount a fender. This is what full custom is right here. Thanks for taking and sending such great photos of the build! #meriwethercycles

Sending this curvy spacemetal frame off for a fun finish, more pics when it’s back and built!

Jay’s Klunkpacker in singlespeed mode is looking pretty sweet with polished parts from Paul and White Industries, a two-bolt seat tube collar by Engin, steel fillet brazed riser bars by Forager Cycles. Lots of attachment points to carry stuff including triple bosses on the seatstays, bolt-on frame bag bosses for a couple of future bags, and a small Puffystuff rack (not shown). If you’re interested in seeing more of this bike head over to @_you.bet_ and stay tuned for more pics when it’s fully dressed up to tour the Sierra Nevada’s and beyond… #meriwethercycles #nowgogetlost

Tour plans take precedence over painting. Two of the more custom steel Meriwether’s rode around the big blue lake and then some last week in one of those “what if we linked as much trail as possible…” type tours. Some 300 miles and 32,000ft of climbing later they finished the trip in Auburn. Thanks for the awesome photos to share and I hope your new bike was worth the wait! Can’t wait to see what you do with the Spray Bike paint 🎨#meriwethercycles

Ron’s Ti 27.5+ frame is another full custom frame. It’ll fit 3” tires and built for a 120 fork. Internal cable routing for dropper, derailleur, and brake, a portage handle, and a 240g Ti puffy-stuff rack for tours. More pics when it’s ready to ride…

Sue’s 29+ inspired-by-a-bag-of chips-eaten-on-the-Baja Divide Snackpacking™️ frame is heading up to Alaska to meet some of its compatriots. Geometry adapted from but very close to her current Mone’ La Roca. This frame has a portage handle when the full framebag is mounted and the lower-standover brace functions as that as well… so it has TWO handles! The short 410mm chainstay length with the new Paragon Sliding dropouts provide 20mm of length adjustment for bigger tires or longer wheelbase purposes. The new sliders use the axle as one of the cinch bolts so I have no doubt this version will never slip. I had great results with the OG Sliders too but these are a bit of an improvement and also have the brake caliper located on the chainstay vs seatstay. Frame will fit a 2.8 or 3” tire with the sliders back a bit. Rack mounts for a Tumbleweed T-rack or the like. Enjoy! #meriwethercycles
