Classic Rendezvous Weekend

The Classic Rendezvous Weekend is coming up soon. I will be there, along with some of my favorite builders who I will be really excited to see: Weigle, Bilenky (I think), Dave Wages, and more…

I love the classic bikes and am looking forward to all the rides.

My cyclocross bike

Posted some pics of my cyclocross bike on flickr. Check them out. Also, I have a bunch of pics of Paul’s road bike to post, which I will be doing soon. That project is in full swing. Finally, I am selling the grey and blue cyclocross bike that you can see in my flickr. I will be posting more about that soon on the blog (eg, measurements, price, etc).

A note of thanks

My road bike, originally uploaded by bishopbikes.

So I just want to take a moment and express my gratitude and thanks. I am really not much of an Internet guy. My wife ends up putting a lot of picks up on flickr or telling me about posts, and I often feel like I don’t have time to look around or comment like I should. But I do want to take some time to thank some people who have been supportive of me now and in the last couple of years. I truly appreciate all the support; you have helped me and my business grow:

Thanks to Richard Sachs for including me on the Next Wave page on his website. I know a lot of people trust his opinion, and his endorsement really is an honor. I have much respect for him and his work. I hope to find a little time soon to participate in the Smoked Out section on Velocipede Salon.

John Prolly has been posting on my work from pretty much day 1. I was glad that I got to know John better this year in Austin; he’s a great guy. Thanks John!

baltimorevelo.com is a great blog that is supporting all of the new bike-related things going on in Bmore. It is great to see Baltimore’s bike scene grow, and blogs like this definitely advance that goal. Also, bmorefixed.com and Patrick at TractionMag

Pedal Consumption; thanks for the coverage and getting my work out to a wider audience.

Cycle Efix, who have covered a couple of my bikes.

The great NAHBS coverage by BikePortand, Embrocation, Rouleur, and others.

All of my awesome customers, who have all been great to work with. The painters, especially Spectrum PowderWorks and Bryan Myers at Fresh Frame, for the beautiful paint jobs. John Fabrizio for the great pics, including this one.

I want to mention framebuilders as well, but the list would go on and on. But to the established builders who inspired me before I became a builder and still inspire me, it has been so cool to actually get to know you and to glean some advice and knowledge from your vast experiences. Many of you reached out to me, when I was too shy/humbled to introduce myself. Thanks.

Tommy and Caroline–for too many reasons to list.

I’m sure there are others I am missing or that I am not aware of, and I apologize if I forgot anyone.

Looks like Dan is enjoying the rando. Dan posted some pics of rides he has been on with his new bike. I hope to join him on some rides this summer.

Columbus MS Track

Columbus MS Track, originally uploaded by bishopbikes.

Hey, I just posted some pics by John Fabrizio of the MS track bike. I wanted to put some more pics up to really show the details of the bike. The pics came out great. Again, Bryan Meyers of Fresh Frame hit it out of the park with paint. I love the paint job.

More process pics to come soon of Paul’s classic road bike and Kevin’s track with Cantiflex tubes. Keep an eye out on Flickr.
