SPOT FILLED! Thank you. Mars cycles is offering a special discounted framebuilding class opportunity. Five day class under my guidance. June 17-21st 2026 class date. In beautiful Norwich Vermont at Mars Cycles shop Learn about bike fit and geometry and bikecad. Learn to hand miter tubing. Learn all the aspects of building a steel Fillet brazed frame. Learn to braze. Walk away with your very own frame. It’s very satisfying. I promise. Many drop outs, tubing, etc. available and in stock. Make a custom, rigid, raw fillet brazed, steel frame. Track bike? Yes. Road bike? Sure. Gravel bike? Absolutely. Some tukt slack mountain bike thing? I guess so. $2750 (regular price $3250) That’s $500 off! DM to book. Half deposit gets you in. 1 spot only. Here’s what recent students had to say about the experience. “I’m a bicycle nerd, one who reads tubing catalogs and reads the reviews of tube set performance.  This class put all that into perspective.  It was amazing.   Learning how each tube choice, each angle, each joint can be utilized for quality and utility was mind blowing. Getting to actually hold the torch and making it all come together was thrilling.  Bicycles are more than the tube  composition and butt profile, they’re a tuned machine, and Casey knows how to build them to purpose.  The knowledge I gained in this class has put every bike I’ve ever ridden into a new light, and every bike I will build into a study of the art.  I can’t imagine frame building without a class like this.  Amazing experience”. “I think we literally built the best bike I have, or damn close. This thing goooooooeeeeeeeesssssss”

Thought these were nice – golden hour at the shop

Idaho Summer

Escapades with a broken hand

I brazed up this rando bike over the winter at @bilenkycycleworks for the @phillybikeexpo and then toured it across the US leading a TransAmerica EPIC for @adventurecycling . Its got sick parts on it from @ritcheylogic and @srammtb and @velocityusa and @velo_orange and was painted by me in the junkyard. 3000 miles later its been to 13 states and two oceans and I only remember to take pictures when I’m trying to finish a roll of film

I spent three days in Portland last month and this was the vibe
