Contact John — Tangent Cycles

By Appointment Only

Emails only please (it’s much better than it sounds).

You can email John Drake whenever the urge moves you. The more questions you ask, the better. He’s here to help you. The fact is he’s waiting for your email, he’s glad when you do.

Even if you’re pulling at the leash, don’t call him. Phone calls that pop up anytime, anywhere can only serve to interrupt and keep John from his work. And you want to encourage him in his solitary pursuit, because one day the bike he’s working on may just be yours.

The Frame Builders

Bingham Built

Bingham’s entire process from beginning to end is nuanced. It’s both an art and science. He’s always raising the bar – for himself. →

Nobilette

When companies and people like Rivendell, René Herse, Lennard Zinn, and GT want special bikes created for them, they call on Mark Nobilette. →

Gunnar

One of the best frames ever and you can do it without blowing up your bank account. →

Parlee Cycles

Parlee’s Altum Disc is a rocket sled that’s fast with extreme agility with on-the-rail handling. →

Tad Hyde spent 17 years writing the J. Peterman clothing catalog, which acquired a cult status with its hand-drawn illustrations and fanciful copy and was lampooned by the New Yorker, Seinfeld, and Gary Larson—Seinfeld was kinder and gentler than Larson.
