    Interview with Neville Cork of Nevil Cycles!

Over the...

    1988 Jeffrey Richman

    Jeff was one of the very early builders of mountain bikes as we know them. He was selected to build one of the exhibit bikes for the "Art of the Mountain Bike" show in 1990. This frame/stem was built a couple years prior. Frame and stem as I got them: Add a few...

    1987 Trek 8000 (Non WTB Team Build)

    I started this project with the intent of stripping frame, and painting it the cool blue/white of the WTB team bikes. But, being the bike dork that I am, I couldn't convince myself to strip the original red paint. Of course, while building it, an original blue/white frame showed up at my...
