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 everyone can come by and see works and meet the builders. There are 12 builders showing!

Also, threw on one of Nao’s 3rrr top tube protectors onto my original track machine. Let the handlebars swing!
Check out the 3rrr blog.


8.17.10 The Philly Bike Expo is going to be awesome! I will be exhibiting there with fellow shop mate Royal H. Check out the site here: PhillyBikeExpo

This is the first year of the show and is being put on by the Bilenky and the Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia. So if you are in the area make sure to check it out. 

8.6.10 Brad got his Cross bike all built up and is putting it through the paces before the season starts. can’t wait to see some pics or see it in action for myself.

Here it is fresh from the painter. 3x top tube cables and a killer shaped down tube that is bi-oval teardrop from Dedacciai and one of my new favorites.


Check back to see Dan’s road bike coming back from paint soon!


7.6.10 Received a care package from Greece today! A short while back Agi Kolyvas from Mbike magazine interviewed me for an article. I can’t read a lick of Greek but maybe I should learn with a name like Icarus. The pictures look great!

They also sent along a DVD about urban commuting in Athens which I will be screening tonight with the rest of the folks at the Fringe. 

Thanks Agi! I’l love to visit Greece someday, maybe someone will order a frame and I can hand deliver! 

6.15.10 Also, sending this ‘cross frame down to Circle A for paint this week. You may remember Brad’s ultra realistic rendering of how the bike would look when finished from a post a bit ago. The main difference is that now it will be bleach white with black logos, at least until cross season starts.

Super cool Dedacciai downtube.

Continuous housing all routed along the top tube.

6.15.10New site, well a new cool look. You might be thinking, “wow, that Ian is so dreamy, is there anything he can’t do?” but in truth, I know nothing of making websites so my good friend Lucian Foehr of Cypher13 does the technical work for me.

Also, the Rando frame I build a while back finally got built up and this is the ST sleeve. Good pictures coming soon, these were taken while Bryan of Royal H was building the custom front rack.



6.11.10 Just a little while back I made a bar stem combo for a friend of mine named Greg. He and Bianca will be riding across the country on custom Geekhouse touring rigs to raise money for Autism.

5.24.10 His name is Finkle, and the bike is a tower, dwarfing most tall bikes. I decided that it was necessary to put the logo underneath the down tube.


Yes, these are 700c wheels. Finkle wanted a double seat tube rig where the rear wheel went between the tubes. Making the chain stays that short is a bad idea, so instead I curved the seat tubes backwards.
