Hi, my name is Josh, and I make some stuff. I own a small bike shop in Ft. Worth, TX. I also hand build composite saddles as well as a few other little things. I don't have much time to work on this stuff, but I have enjoyed producing carbon saddles with the goals of light weight and comfort. I'll post some pictures and updates here from time to time. I hope some of you will enjoy seeing my stuff.

Awesome work! Do you make custom shapes based on 'big brand' models?

Welcome Josh! That is some great stuff. Very impressive for just something you do on the side for fun. Do you mind sharing which shop in Ft. Worth? If not you can PM.

Very cool. North America has a budding Berk Composites competitor!

Two quick questions;
1. When you say aerospace quality composites do you mean HM fibers or prepreg or what?
2. Why Innegra? For the flexibility?
Your seats look very good. Very well thought out and carefully constructed. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Aerospace grade materials are usually categorized as such by their weight and strength. wet-layup and infusions are still common in aerospace material construction. The quality of the material is most commonly gauged by ksi, gsm, and flexural modulus. I typically use wet-layup methods due to it's versatility, and it allows me to use a variety of materials. Innegra improves these products by offering impact resistance, flexibility, and vibration damping, all while reducing weight. Did that cover everything?
