In Part One of this Monster Gravel series, I showed you how we went from a simple gravel bike to having a version for everything from racing to exploring to bikepacking and more. And how all of that quickly led to this latest category, āMonster Gravelā. Drop Bar MTB vs Monster Gravel Below, youāll see […]
Gravel used to be easy, right? Take a slacker road bike, mount bigger tires, and hit the backroads. But the category split into niches faster than anything before it. Where mountain biking took decades to have XC, downcountry, trail, all-mountain, enduro, and DH, gravel branched out in just a few short years. Now we have […]
For many of us, bicycles are a passion that develops early in childhood as the thrill of pedaling creates opportunities to explore beyond where your walking legs can take you. Some people come to cycling later in life due to circumstances that force them onto the bike as they must give up another sport, while […]
Who does these sorts of things? I mean, what kind of person do you have to be to undertake an endeavor such as this? Is it the pleasure or the pain? Is it the challenge to say you ādid itā? Or do you want to have a fun time doing something that you love very […]
2 of our very own Frontier Team riders (Quoc Vo and John Lee) drove from SoCal to the high desert of Arizona to tackle the BWR AZ Wafer ride. The Wafer ride is a shorter version of the Waffle length ride, but keeps all of the fun stuff while dispensing with some of the more […]

Since its launch in 2019, the Storm King has developed into quite the versatile bike. Race bike, trail bike, adventure bike, or even bikepacking, the Storm King does it all. The list of customers who build up different variants of the bike is constantly changing as well. Some builds are more “raw” while others can […]
My initial reaction when I crossed the finish line at the inaugural BWR BC race was āThat was HARD!ā. Sure, I finished the 136.6 mile race with 12,117 feet of climbing in a total time of 9 hours and 13 minutes, but none of it was easy and all of it was earned. The best […]
Usually we strive to get photography done and posted for each custom bike we do with the expectation that we will showcase the bike both in social media and advertising as the bike is being delivered to the customer. However, there are those times where we get a little busy and things don’t always line […]
For the 2020 Chris King Handbuilt show, the color choices were either Gold or a Two Tone Black/ Gold. The Gold was going to be polished and the Two Tone Black/ Gold was going to be a matte finish. Both colors were gorgeous in their own rights, but once we saw the shine of the […]
The Gulf Racing Livery is easily one of the most recognizable racing liveries in all of motorsports. It has been adorning race cars since the late 1960’s when it won back to back LeMans race events on the backs of Ford GT40 race cars. It is such an iconic design that it continues to be […]
