a note from the builder -
Cycling and making things have been lifelong passions for me. They’ve fueled my journey of skills building and personal growth — through rides, races, classes, apprenticeships, and professional positions.
Based on a lifetime of riding, and over a decade of building frames with other brands, I founded Orchard Bicycle as a frame-builder owned business in 2023.
With Orchard Bicycle, I focus on retro/vintage inspired mountain bikes, and townies. Every frame or frame-set is designed and built by me, fillet-brazed to order in Grand Junction, CO.
Complete bikes are available too.
I give attention to detail and the big picture. This means taking time for soft skills, like clear and open communication, as well as well as the hard skills of frame-building. This means combining quality materials with time-proven techniques, mindful consideration of environmental impact, and selecting components from like-minded industry partners.
Most importantly, this means every customer gets a bike that’s fun to ride, easy to service, nice to look at, and something we can both be proud of.
