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 […]
Is something still a blur if it happened in the past but you are still in the blur? Would you say, “MADE 2023 was a blur…” or would you say “MADE 2023 is still blurry because of….”? Either way, the MADE 2023 show was amazing and easily the best show of the year to attend. […]
What is Cerakote and why do we use it on the majority of our finishes? There are many different types of finishes that can be applied to a bicycle frame. Everything from wet paint to anodization to a bead blasted finish and to powder coating just to name a few of the most popular choices, […]
My initial reaction when I crossed the finish line at the inaugural BWR BC race was “That was HARD!”. 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 […]
Back in 2019, Mountain Bike Action reviewed our first hardtail mountain bike- the Flow Motion. The conversation in the beginning was something along the lines of: “Hardtail? Yeah, we have some FS bikes we want to ride but we will give your bike a shot.” Not exactly confidence inspiring, but at least they were willing […]

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 […]
VitalMTB is a very respected online publication specifically focused on mountain bikes. They live and breathe MTB’s all day every day. It would then be fair to say that they have a strong opinion of what works and what does not work in the current world of MTB’s. Knowing that they have knowledge base to […]
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 […]
The Storm King GP came about due to the evolution in Gravel Racing and Gravel Riding. As riders continue to push the boundaries of their bikes further and further, it was only a matter of time before the components that would go on their frames would evolve as well. With the creation of the new […]
It has been almost 2 years since we last attended a bike show in person, and what a long strange trip it has been. While we have missed seeing our friends within the industry, we have stayed busy with our customer base exploring new custom finish designs and continuing to improve the products we deliver […]
