This past month was great, I got a bunch of track frames out the door and I got to work on a fun project: Frankendork. I’ve already posted this on the wordpress blog, but it’s gotten some good press on Animal New York, Not Cot, FixedGearGallery, and on Urban Velo.
Also, May is National Bike Month! I’m going to be showing off bikes at Redbone Party, and hopefully the NYC Bike film festival.
Then of course there’s the: Geek Open House happening on Sunday May 18th. Also, I’ve got Harpoon as the official beer sponsor!!! And this is the current schedule of events:
Bike Polo in Allston 12pm
Meet and Greet 2pm
BBQ 2pm-4pm
Shop Tours 2pm-5pm
Bold Sprints 5pm-7pm
Ghettodrome 8pm
Afterparty Zuzu 9pm
Thanks!

So I built a pursuit tall bike… I literally built the whole bike from start to finish in about two days. Thanks to Mark B, Buckley, Dan StG, Logan, and Pete S for helping me with everything this past Sat. We were literally on a mission to get frame and parts all rattle-canned and ready to go. It was kind of crazy because the weather Sat was beautiful, then crazy thunderstorms rolled in and there were lightening flashes going on in the background while we were trying to paint it. I decided to call the bike Frankendork, and I really felt like a mad scientist welding this thing together. A lot of the tubing was from scrap or extra lying around the shop, but the front is double butted deddacchi, meaning it’s probably one of the nicest build tall bikes I’ve ever seen. Anyway, I hope everyone gets a kick out of it. Thanks!

The last month has again been pretty crazy! I’m finally settling into the new space, and have been working just about 7 days a week to get a large batch of Rockcity’s completed. And we now officially have a new powdercoater and things are looking great.
Also, I ended up getting a sweet Bridgeport milling machine, which I named Steve. Other than that we finally got up the new custom page, and the new online fit form. Check out our body measurement image…;)
I’d also like to announce that next month in part with National Bike month, and the Baystate bike week. Geekhouse is going to be doing an ‘Open House’ on Sunday May 18th from 2pm-late. Everyone is invited, and we’ll be offering BBQ, Beer, and Bold Sprints!
Thanks!
