Want a slideshow? Mobius Cycle on Flickr!

My old friend Aaron Bailey built this up the day before he left for California (on it). Well, procrastination aside it built up perfectly, creating this epic beauty. There is some talk about building wheels when this Globe-Trotter gets back from the Netherlands. That would truly finish the build.

have arrived at mobius. We got set #3 of 10. Yes folks, that's right, only 10 pair in existence. Welcome to 2010. Where ten pair is the most rare. I want to see these done well. I have a few ideas (gold dipped, to a differing length, black spokes to emulate rays or metallic colors like burnt orange nips and bronze 75's with "leather touchpoints" Anything the person who builds them and I come up with. P.S. The painters say they can do a three step process that looks just like this but is paint...Pure love Phil Wood.

For Jake, the dissolution of the Seattle Sonics was an especially sad time. He also lost his bike to a car. Thankfully, this gorgeous vintage (late 60's) track frame was hanging bare in mobius and was finally on the market. SIK Werks was then commissioned to paint it forest green with gold fleck and pearl. The result is amazing. We have also started collecting touch-up paint for our different projects and, as a secret gift to Jake, customized his cable stop and chainring bolts one night during the build.
