in 2005 we set out to create great handling, durable track frames with purpose and style.
The very first bike me and Grove made was a tig and materials update on the classic 80’s raw-track style ripper. 1” headtube, threaded quill fork, horizontal top tube - but with custom tube set options for blends of; smooth meets ultralight or utilitarian or both. It was a local hit. We still offer it today as our STclassic alongside its updated sibling, buckets. And those rare beasts, those old street warriors are still out there - I see them, now and then. I do.
It was a hit for us too, as a Broakland team and we grew the team to include the best damn creative folks I know. we’ve made many sweet rigs along the road to now - they’ve all been made for the local hills and city streets and parking lots and tracks around Oakland CA - just like the rigs we offer now. 16 years later and we’re still a local in Oakland CA - designing and building bikes one at a time like we have other jobs! haha - but we love making sick rigs and so we still do it and we love doing it.
