Because the internet is forever

I know this will come as quite a shock to you, but this blog is dead. I figured I needed a last post here just to say that yes, I'm still building (never stopped!), but there's going to be some big news in the coming months concerning a name change and a move to full-time status. You'll find all the up to date info at instagram https://www.instagram.com/rabbitfightercustoms/?hl=en
 and Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/61780130@N04/with/9329067204/

hope to see you there!

I'm over this font

650b done...color is really more teal, funny how it looks blue on camera, a photo by matthews cycles on Flickr.

I love the winged "M" I've been using lately, it needs some refinement but it has that classic look that I dig. But the font for the downtube sticker...hmm, I need some help there huh? I wonder if there are any graphic design guys out there who might be interested in a bike work/design work trade.

650b...I need a new downtube sticker design, but damn this bike came out nice!, a photo by matthews cycles on Flickr.

A nice 650b before it gets packed up and shipped.

Why I went to NAHBS.

I went to be in the middle of the "scene" for once. I didn't go to be flashy - all but one of the bikes I brought were daily riders with at least 1000 miles on them. I didn't even enter anything in the awards.
I just wanted to meet guys like Rody Walter ( Groovy Cycles) and Eric Noren ( Peacock Groove) and talk to all the other like-minded folks there. With the exception of the few times I started feeling like a used car salesman, the show was a great success!
A special thanks to Scott who endured the hipsters and getting stranded by a snowstorm for a day in Trinidad...are you ready to go to North Carolina next year?

Not a bad setup. I was lucky to get a corner! It was funny to see what types of people gravitated to what bike.
The exception was this kid's bike in the front. Everybody liked that one.

Guess who's goin to NAHBS?
