Bicycles connect us to a sense of purpose and freedom. They allow us to experience our  surroundings without walls, on a grander scale; vulnerable, but liberated.  We bike because it’s a part of the future we see.

Capricorns reflect what I think is great about bicycles, bicycling, building frames, and the classic media of steel, brass, and silver.  My goal is to build a bicycle that you’ll want to ride everyday: the frame providing the armature of that machine, a construction in which no detail goes unnoticed.

An experienced builder knows what they are creating is as much a personal expression as it is an expression subjected to the hard rules of engineering.  As experience develops in a builder, so too does their art and their ability to fabricate their next frame; bringing to it new possibilities, more confident work, or a distinctive style.

Each Capricorn frame, fork, and rack is a hand-built piece from me to you, made to the best of my abilities.  If you’re in the market for a handmade, custom bicycle take some time to browse the models that I offer.  If you don’t see something you’re looking for, write to me using the “contact” page– for the sake of simplicity I haven’t included all the available options in the webpages.  Let’s get to work.
