Bicycle assembly can seem simple, but getting it right takes experience and attention to detail.

Austin builds each bike with the precision of a Master Mechanic: every bolt torqued correctly, premium grease applied exactly where it belongs, and every component aligned for optimal performance. He even verifies manufacturer specifications to ensure your warranty stays fully intact.

Most bike shops assign new hires to assembly, which often leads to early wear and sluggish rides. With Austin, your new bike starts its life properly—quiet, smooth, and built to perform far beyond “shop floor” quality.

- Pair your assembly with a fit -

Austin has been fitting riders to bicycles since before digital systems like Retül existed. The concepts those machines rely on are second nature to him, learned through decades of hands-on experience and thoughtful conversation.

Using simple tools, a trained eye, and real dialogue, Austin delivers a fit that is every bit as accurate as the most expensive digital fit, and often more personalized.

From the Italian CONI methods of the 1970s to the Bike Fit Kit of the 80s, the Lemond formulas of the 90s, and today’s Retül systems, Austin has studied and practiced them all. With over a thousand fits completed, he brings an intuitive understanding of balance, comfort, and performance to every rider he works with.

Bicycles are a lot like horses: fast, graceful, and happiest when well cared for. They need new shoes, a good wash, and regular attention from someone who knows how to listen.

Every tune-up Austin performs is part mechanics, part meditation. With decades of experience under master builders & mechanics, he’s learned how to bring a bike to the sweet spot where everything hums; clean, quiet, and perfectly in sync with rider.

Only top-tier bearings, cables, and components are used because every detail matters when your bike is meant to disappear beneath you.
