Montague Custom Build: Time Lapse
Tweet Montague folding frame sets are finally in stock! People like to have things their way, and for the first time, you can have your folding bike just the way you want it.

Montague Overhaul VII: Fixed Foot Retention
Tweet In putting the final touches on my custom Montague Boston folding bike, I had to decide what type of foot retention to use. On a fixed gear, you can control your speed and slow down simply by slowing your cadence. By putting back pressure on the pedals, you can slow the bike or even [...]

Philosophy: Minimalist
Tweet What are the necessary parts on a bike anyway? It all depends upon your build philosophy. From a Minimalist Perspective First one needs a frame. A bicycle requires wheels to roll upon (included therein: tires, spokes, hubs, and all that lay beneath these). It needs a seat post and saddle to sit upon. Handlebars [...]
Bicycle Utopia
Tweet Utopia The word utopia comes to us from Sir Thomas More’s 1516 work of that name. It means the ideal place or perfect society, but it comes from the Greek roots for “the place that cannot be”, or “no place”. Being no place in particular means it cannot be defined or limited, but it also [...]
Past and Future Tense: Health of a Nation
Tweet Villages – Were We Started From Once upon a time, we started out in villages. Well, obviously it’s a quite a bit more complex than that, but for our purposes we’re starting here. In small communities you know the people who pass you on the street, things are near enough to get to simply, [...]
