This past month went by so quick! I’ve really been trying to work on some different projects lately as well. I just finished the first Geekhouse ‘Mudville’ cyclocross frame. And Fitzy and I have been busy build a new 26″ jump/park bike. I also have a couple of new track frames with some curved seat tubes in the mix. Also, one of the new track frames even has a level top tube! Wow, I can’t believe there’s actually a level top tube track bike from geekhouse!… Other than that I got a few beautiful Rockcity frames out as well and they really came out quite nice, not to toot my own horn. Stay tune this coming month to the flickr page, I have a new ’show’ bike that’s going to be pretty amazing when it’s finally finished…

Peace,

The last month was a lot of fun, and we got a lot of work done!
The only bad part was my bike got stolen right out of the back of my car in Boston! If everyone could keep a look out for a blue geekhouse with a white fork, that would be greatly appreciated. There might even be a reward for it, if it’s found.
The Open House was a really fun time, we had about 100 people stop by the shop over the course of the day. Bold Sprints went off without a hitch.
The Redbones block party was also a great time. And I’d like to thank Mark B for all his help in making the trade show booth for that.
Also, our waiting list is currently between 3-4 months on frames. So before we get too close to Cross season, I’d like to start a special waiting list for the new Geekhouse ‘Mudville’ cyclocross frame. Details will be to follow, but basically I want to do a small batch of these ready for the upcoming season. Please email if interested.
Other than that, I’m working on some pretty special bikes this month, so stay tuned to flickr for new pics. Thanks!

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!

So this past month was absolutely crazy. I got a new space, had to completely renovate the new space to my needs, then moved the old shop, then went to the NAHBS show, and now I’m trying to catch up with the current list of orders. Thanks again for everyone that helped out with the renovation and shop move!
Also, congrats to Zach K on his sweet finish in the Winter Splinter comp, nice job man!
I also want to say thanks to Nick M for including geekhouse in the Bold Sprints! Every time I race, I feel like I’m going to puke for about a half an hour after!
In other news this month I’m introducing the geekhouse custom program. This means I’m offering a few new models of frames: including road, cyclocross, 29er, and more… all in custom sizing with a few custom options. Details to follow under the product section. This is good news to those who thought I would only build pursuit style frames…
Other than that I finished up Dan St.G’s bike and put a few pics on flickr.

That’s it for now,

thanks guys! -Marty

So as of Feb 1st Geekhouse is finally moving to Boston (Allston) Mass. I have been wanting to move the shop out here for a couple of years and I finally found the perfect space. Thanks so much to everyone who helped work on the space this past weekend, especially Mark B! Thanks also to everyone who has been patiently waiting for their frames. Check out some pics of the new shop on the flickr site.

Also, Im headed out to the North American Hand Built Bike Show in Portland this week. Im not exhibiting but will be helping out Mike from ANT bike as much as I can. If your out in that area hit me up!

Thanks guys!
