Cycle EXIF Calendar →
10.25.11 Maybe you’re an Icarus fan who can’t order a frameset yet and maybe you don’t really feel like wearing a shirt that depicts a crude drawing of a nude framebuilder but now there is another option! The Cycle EXIF calendar!
Also, I have just decided that I will be making a new Icarus shirt, look out for it!

8.29.11 More coping and really enjoying some Paragon Machineworks drop outs. I used them back at Seven Cycles but this is my firs time using them on an Icarus. I don’t know what took me so long. They are lighter and machined much cleaner than all the cast ones I have tried, should make for easier finishing. Columbus ‘AH’ mega chainstays like the ones I used on the Leviathan....
8.16.11. A couple touring bikes I made recently have been built up. Both for guys in NYC and build for the long road, but very different in style. One classically lugged, and the other with a modern shape and finish. (I dunno why its rotating this image or how to stop it, maybe its just a steep ascent) This one was built up at Chari & Co, you can check out more pictures of it at their blog. ...
6.15.11 Here are some pictures of those bi-lam joints I was working on a while back. That frame is just about ready for paint but I see a few file marks I want to chase down. There are a few more on my FLICKR. Also a new set of bi-lams I am getting started on. 6.1.11The first Icarus to make it to Australia has been constructed! Built this one a while back and just got some pictures from Jordan...
4.26.11 I am back in town after a week long road trip in Asheville, NC. Went down with some friends to sleep in tents, jump in a river and check out the town. I am just wrapping up a single speed frame for Mr. Damon out in San Francisco. It has internal routing for the rear brake and a custom wishbone. I will take some pics as soon as I find ma dang camera. In less cool news, you may notice my...
2.15.11 Fresh from the dunk tank is Junie’s BB. Working on a touring frame right now for a returning customer. I know I am no Kirk frameworks but this bottom bracket braze is looking pretty smooth. I have another touring bike coming up next, but it will be fully lugged. Something you don’t see me doing to often but I am looking forward to it. 1.25.11 A few items of note! Jon’s...
12.16.10 Added a road bike picture set to the site and loaded some other goodies onto the Flickr. Shipped my first bike to Australia! I poorly documented it before I boxed it up. Hopefully Mr. Jordan will send back some pictures of a killer build. OH YEA!!!! I am also building the first Icarus with some carbon integration, Columbus carbon wishbone seat stays. I used to assemble Ti/Carbon frames...
9.25.10 The guys over at Mbike magazine in Greece just started a new fixed gear website called Fixed Gear Athens and it features the interview they did with me in english along with other cool cycling pictures. Check out how they do it in Athens! 9.22.10 In conjunction with the Boston Bike Film Festival, there is a Boston area handbuilt bike show at The Fourth Wall Thursday (tomorrow) where...
5.09.10Happy Mother’s day mothers! Things are all breezy at the Icarus shop and here is a clue to what is being built next. Rendered through the magic of computers (this is not a real picture!) by the soon to be owner, it hints to what may be the FIRST EVER cross Icarus. 4.27.10 Another double seat tube track machine is back from the painter. This one is white as… well white. Opting...
12.17.09 Jeff stopped by the shop and took some more shots of his frame, I think they give a more accurate look at the color. here are a few. Also, just tacked up Saul’s Randonneur frame. Can’t wait for our tank refill to show up so that I can start brazing it. 11.30.09 The bar/stem combo for the film festival was won by local fast man Armando. Unfortunately the only picture I...

Our warehouse, the Fringe Movement, will be opening its doors for you to drop by and see what we all do here. Come on be between 12noon and 10pm to chat, snack and check out what we do!

6.12.09 Lucian’s Custom Track won Editors Choice over at Boutique Cycles! 6.2.09 I have started work on Lucian’s second Icarus frame. He decided to take his original double seat tube bike on some dirt trails as seen in these pictures. Previous / Next (1 of 3) He says it feels great but is has me worried. It just wasn’t designed for off road! So now he wants a new track frame...

3.20.09: Miguel Picked up his frame today and we took some quick pictures, check them out. I will get some better ones when the bike is all together. If you are in the Boston area, you will be able to see the bike in person at the Open Bicycle grand opening coming up soon. 3.19.09: The new track bars are in a box headed to Jody in NYC. he is testing them out at the Red Hook criterium next weekend...
