Big Pink

From the archives.  Significant bikes from the past, precursors to what I’m currently doing.

Big pink.  The counterpoint to the other bike Trevor commissioned, Super Skinny.  Among other things, this bike has the first twin plate fork crown I ever made (the start of an obsession that has still not ended!), which was out of necessity as at the time no mountain bike width fork crowns were available to me.  This was also my first design with wide tires. A bike in many ways ahead of its time, it would look just right sporting some bikepacking bags on any off the beaten path touring Instagram feed.   I think of this bike often,  and I wish I had my own version for the mountain bike trails.
