Kent Eriksen Cycles

I had never heard of or seen this man's work until I read an article about him receiving Builder of the Year at the Rocky Mountain Bicycle Show. Definitely been missing out! Might need to post a new response in the "Dream Bike" thread. Nice to see the results that true passion for one's craft inspire.

Thank you, I have found my next bike. Now to knock over a few banks.

If I could weld like that I would weld up one weld then walk around and show it off to everyone I ran into. Twice.

You have to go up in order to come down. Why is the up part always so steep?

Nice! What's the purpose of the solid rim?

Aerodynamic. That's their time-trial bike, so it's set-up to cut through the wind. Notice how flat the fork and seat-post are as well. A lot of the companies that have carbon-fiber bikes even set up the frame to be more aerodynamic.
