My building, the Ivy Building, was badly damaged by fire and water during the anarchy here following the death of George Floyd in 2020; there are some pictures on the Around the Shop gallery. After a year and a half, I was able to retreive my things from storage and get the shop running again. Scott Anton, John Barron, and Matt Gorski helped with the move.

I am still taking frame orders and doing paint jobs and restorations of classic steel frames, At the moment (summer 2025) I am in slow motion, recovering from total knee replacement, but I am glad to answer all inquiries and add any to my post-op waitlist. I’m hoping to be back, nose to the grindstone and in the paint can, this fall.

Thanks to Dan Ostrowski for his help with this website, Vincent Dominguez for some great photos, and to my customers for sending photos of their bikes. A lot of the lousy pictures are mine.
