David's new road fixie is built around something different: the Steelman 25th Anniversary Special Edition frame. This is the public launch of a project that has been brewing for quite some time. Please go to our 25th Anniversary page if you want to learn more about it.

David is a long distance rider with a knack for seeking out secret rarely traveled roads usually with insanely steep climbs. When everyone else is looking for a lower gear they don't have, he is churning away on the fixie. Harsh conditions are welcome to David, and the elite team kit guys wonder who the woolie is they can't drop and ultimately he leaves them behind like the miles of winding roads.

Knowing David makes me proud to have him riding on my frames. It represents the merging of talent, passion, tenacity, patience, skill, and integrity.....rider and craftsman.
