A few years back Chris Herting built me a 3D B-29er. I still ride it nearly everyday. Something about a custom metal mtb that just makes you want to ride. If you dont know him, and you probably dont, you should. He is probably the most famous bike builder that you have never heard of. All you really need to know is that he is one of the original Yeti guys and has been welding mountain bikes ever since. Those original crazy John Tomac Yetis were his handywork. He is one of those guys who builds the custom bikes that another brand puts their stickers on and stuff like that. The only reason I bring this up is because he finally made a website, er updated his early 90's website. If you want a custom bike I would highly recommend talking to Chris. He is extremely helpful and your bike will be built out of scandium or aluminum so it wont weigh two tons like a steel bike. Though, he does build with steel if you so prefer. Anyways...people always stop me on the trail and ask about my bike, so this is who built it.
Absoulutey Aaron. Chris is a first-class guy. My 2 custome 3D 'cross frames saw A LOT of action and are still going strong after 5 years. Always ask him about making TWO. Once he's set-up to make one, making another identical one doesn't cost much more. Of course it's just cool to have two anyways :-)
