Not all great bikes need to cost $10,000. This is one such example. Like many clients, Harold had done a lot of research prior to stepping foot in the store.

Harold’s Diverge
By tdunn Bike of the Week, Products Feb 28, 2018
This Specialized Shiv was meticulously assembled by Craig Miller in Hb Cranford. Together, Craig and Georgios spent hours reviewing Georgios’ 2018 goals and objectives and what bicycle would be the best tool towards those ends. The result is a breathtaking build that compliments their Team High Five sponsors while leaving nothing behind for Georgios as[…]
Take a good look at this bike because it’s likely that you’ll never see another one quite like it. Beginning with a super limited graphics package celebrating the incredible professional career of former UCI World Champion, Tom Boonen’s four-time Paris-Roubaix wins on the Specialized Roubaix. Built with a full Shimano Ultegra Di2 on a Specialized[…]
The featured bike this week is this S-Works Roubaix with Sagan Celebration graphics. Jim V. built this bike with mechanical Dura Ace.

Jim custom built this trail crusher some time ago. This is an S-Works Fatboy with XX1, Raceface cranks, Crank Bros cockpit, and finished off with Specialized Fast Track rubber. The client recently upgraded the wheels with custom-built Nextie Premium Xiphias rims with custom colored graphics laced into Industry Nine hubs to match the overall scheme[…]
The new “Merz” edition Sequoia from Specialized delivers both aesthetics and performance in a well-apportioned package. Simplistic styling gives way to key details that one would expect from a one-of-a-kind custom bicycle built by a freelance framebuilder in a small-time operation on the west coast. We loved the matched leather-look bar tape and saddle, along[…]
For this bike of the week, we showcase this S-Works Venge Vias. The client reached out to us from Brazil and coordinated this build for pick-up during his visit to the US for business. The client knew he wanted the S-Works Venge Vias. Although he liked the original stock build, he wanted it to be better[…]
