Stopping to smell the flowers

Went on an Easter egg hunt, just found these lupines

Russell’s new Meriwether is an updated version of his steel 29er he’s ridden for several years now. This one is Ti and with even shorter chainstays, steeper seat tube angle, and a longer slacker front end to be used with a 120-140mm fork. Using a plate style yoke I was able to get 415mm chainstays with a 29x2.6 and 34t ring using a Boost chainline. Internal cable routing for the dropper and brake. Adjustable dropouts for converting to a Singlespeed or just getting a little longer stays and more tire clearance. This will be a super fun bike for his local North Carolina trail network!

Paul’s big red fatbike with an ENVE fork

Kevin’s Pinion gearbox fatbike was the first pinion frame I’ve made, it involved doing some extreme customization to get as short chainstays as possible with the fattest tires possible. Fits 27.5x4 with sliders forward at 450mm CS length and 26x5 and 27.5x4.5 slid back to 460-470mm. The sleeved unicrown fork is suspension adjusted for a 120mm fork, he will have a Mastodon on the frame when he wants to rally and the rigid when he’s touring. Custom geometry of course. It’s also the first frame with dual portage handles. Paragon sliders at an angle to account for some of the BB height change when changing where and tire sizes. Big M6 bosses on the lower seatstays and fork dropouts to support a loaded rack, and lots of M5 bosses elsewhere...it’s the complete package! #meriwethercycles

Ti Allrounders with 650x47’s are pretty hard to beat. Fenders optional. #plushlyfe #meriwethercycles
