Specialties Hand-building, in Chicago, commuter/city bikes out of lightweight USA steel and outfitting them with quality components. Making a perfectly suited, ready to ride, domestically produced bicycle. History Established in 2011 I started getting interested in bicycles when I moved to the city and it became feasible to use them as transportation. After not finding exactly the quality bike I wanted, and simply wanting to learn how to build one, I took a class to do just that. Out of that class and knowledge of the bike scene in Chicago, I decided to give it a shot.
