Thanks a lot Donald! I appreciate the kind words.

Here's a quick picture of a frame lay up around the head tube. It's very important to keep the layup clean and uniform. It limits the sanding needed and allows for a stronger and lighter junction. Every frame I build has a different layup around the junctions. Fiber orientation, the amount of layers and the type of material are designed unique for the riders needs.

Thanks for the kind words Brandon I appreciate it!

I've been hard at work on a bunch of new products and frame improvements. The Cryptic Cage will be available very soon. This is a prototype I pulled off the mold today. This is 100 percent unfinished and raw so keep that in mind.

Nice, so it's just a pretty regular vac bag setup over the top of this right?

Finishing up a new frame. Here is the BB lay up and seat tube layup.

I should be done with it in the next few days and I'll post pictures then. Went out and took a few night shots of another bike also.

Your rear wheel is missing a spoke. ;)

Bucking the trend with the skinny downtube. Interesting look.

HA! good catch on the spoke....i'm admittedly not the best with photoshop.

As far as the downtube size its not as small as it looks in the picture but its smaller than the trends of massive tubing today. This bike was going for a more traditional look. The good thing is that even tube diameter is considered when I build a frame and can be changed according to the riders needs.
