Bike of The Year! Yes, you read that right. Guitar Ted bestowed the honor on his Orange Crush, his orange Black Mountain Cycles Monster Cross frame he bought from the very first run of frames back in February of 2011 – almost 6 years ago. When I think to ask a buyer of one of […]

Here’s what’s available on the monster cross front: 52cm: one pink 60cm: a few each in both Pink and British Racing Green 62cm: […]

I’ve posted a few teaser shots of this bike off and on over the past several months. It’s a 64cm Black Mountain Cycles Monster Cross frame. With a twist. For almost all of 2015, I had experienced back/shoulder/neck pain as a result of a slow-motion, over the bars, digger on my road bike trying to […]

It happened with an email. Someone in Canada inquiring about a Monster Cross frame because he had just seen a profile of a customer’s road bike on The Radavist. Hmmm, news to me. I’ll have to check that out to find out what’s up. Well, what do you know! A really nice profile of the […]

You’re rolling along, getting stuff done, and then you realize “dang, I’m almost out of frames.” But you’ve got at least one or two available in each size and it doesn’t seem urgent to order more. Yet. Yeah, that pretty much happens every time framesets start to get in short supply. I try to be […]

The new frames arrived last week and, damn, do they look great! I’ve been busy prepping and shipping frames so haven’t had a chance to put up the new info. I updated the frames and get the goods pages with a bit of new info, but since I’m also working on a brand new website, […]

This is Cliff’s cross bike. Usually, I get complete bikes built and shipped withing at least 2 weeks. This one took a mite longer. Between the time I announced the green frames last summer and the time they actually arrived, quite a few months passed. Then Cliff did some traveling and we exchanged e-mails to […]

So far, there have been several takers for this February promotion and […]

With all the big tire companies, it finally took a small tire company to produce that tire in what I consider the “magic size” for my cross frames. I really like the Panaracer Fire Cross 45, but on the road, it’s a dog. Great off road. Slower than molasses on the road. For several years, […]

If all those other companies can do it, so can I. Here’s the deal, or rather here are the deals. All involved purchasing a Black Mountain Cycles road or cross frame and all should be able to appeal to different needs you might have. Black Mountain Cycles “Cyber Monday” special runs through Sunday December 4. […]

Been busy. Too busy, seemingly, to post anything here. Takes time to upload photos, think up something to write, and do all that and take care of all the bikes that are coming in. This post will be a “what’s in the stand” post on a recent cross bike I built. This cross bike represents […]

This was a first. Pretty fun build too. The owner came up and went for a ride out on the seashore while I built up a Black Mountain Cycles cross bike with an Xtracycle extension. But not before setting up his laptop to take a time-lapse video of the build. Then he went out the […]
