03.06.11 -- Matt P met us at a bike art show at Marty's in the Fall. He wanted us to build him a fixed gear mountain bike. So we did. Matt picked up his frameset today. As we wrote in a previous post:

"For those who know the NJ mountain bike scene, Matt and his bike will most likely be spotted this season riding cross country at Jungle Habitat and Space Farms. Matt is a recent graduate of Warren Wilson College outside of Ashville, NC... and he simply loves to ride. This bike is his dream.

"Matt's bike is a fully rigid mountain bike (no suspension), built with oversized True Temper Verus tubes, Longshen lugs, and beefy PAUL track dropouts. Constructed with a very complicated seat tube miter (Ryan and the horizontal mill are indeed friends), the bike fits 26" wheels with 2.3" tires. And no FE bike is complete without our signature NJ badge.
