New custom frame builder Moonmen

[amasendeinja]

Check out the article (link below) from fat-bike.com on the new custom bike building venture Moonmen bikes. Based out of Fort Collins in Colorado, 2 of the 3 man team are ex Black Sheep bikes so know their way around titanium and welding it, just a little bit.

 

Not sure I like the design basis of their first bike, all around a larger version of a bmx, but I can appreciate the skill.

 

What really impresses me is that chain tensioning mechanism they have developed. If that works the way it's intended then it's by far the cleanest (and likely most slip-resistant) chain tensioning method I've ever seen.
