Brazen Cycleworks changes yet again. Changes have been brewing for a while around here. I wanted more time to ride and even though I love building bikes, I wanted to focus on my own rides and start something brand new. To do make this change happen I did the following. I donated the remainder of my project bikes(25) to a local co-op builder. Sold some fixed gear project bikes on Phoenix Craigs List, and raised some hell. In the process I found a great home for a XL frame and fork. Ryan is now taking good care of this frame and fork that eventually sold at $4 classic lugged steel ride and you can watch it mature on his blog. Here is the Craigs List synopsis for your entertainment.   Each subsequent post was created from a brutal flagging stream the the post generated.   You must be ----this tall to ride this Fixed gear frame/fork - $220 Original Post: $220 Butted and Lugged just like your girlfriend. Willing to come down on price, but I have been advised that hi...

A Long Damn Time. That is what it has been, since I posted bikes I have been working on. Drought, Dry Spell ... well truth be told I really didn't feel like blogging. Until today.

Yeah Me! Well everyone is bound to have a birthday. Today is mine. And I didn't wrap the gift to myself. My 99% complete Monocog Flight 29er is only without brake lines. I am actually selling a duplicate set of the kick ass set of New Velocity BLUNT 29er disc wheelset. I built one set for myself and one for some lucky rider. Formula hubs, with cassette style rear, disc ready and really stout. Front is 32H and rear is 36H for long term durability, double butted spokes and self locking nipples these are no worry wheels for a low maintenance bike. Other specs on my new beauty are Avid BB7 disc brakes, WTB tires and seat, with carbon in all the right places(headset spacer), Truvativ Stylo 1.1 SS crank with X type BB and 180mm length. This bike is as big as it gets and I love it.

Trek Mystery. Well I am posting this to get a little help unravelling a mystery. I am the new owner of a metallic flake blue 25.5 inch(64cm) TREK. Now I have owned many Treks and my second race bike was a red Trek 2000 warranty replacement frame. This bike is old. 1970s old. I think it may be a first year hand built TREK but the pieces are not adding up. I am not planning on keeping the bike for myself as it is just too large. Normally after about a week it would become a fixed gear and be adopted into the Brazen Cycleworks family. But this needs to go to a Trek collector and I need to raise some $$ for Toys for Tots for a benefit ride I am doing in August. So if you can provide the most help I would love to send you a Brazen Cycleworks polo shirt in L or XL, I think that is all I have left. I need to know how to market this bike accurately to get the Trek collectors what they are looking for and raise big bucks. Drop me a line if you think you can help. Here are some details and pictu...
