Thats incredible - it is actually a completely custom frame right? Not a restored sunday? 

Its impressive how convincing it is but looking close I can see a bunch of refinements and updates to make it modern

Had never heard of Garage bikes project, but they do have a nice portfolio ! This thing might ride pretty good if they've worked on Raaws, Frameworks and Scotts

Dan also wrote the "by the numbers" series over on the other site which was probably the best articles they ever had! Its also funny seeing his portfolio lined up like that - i didnt realise he worked half of those but you can see the influence!

Thank you all for the stoke on the bike, it’s heart warming to read.

A proper fun project to do after hours. And yes, every single piece is designed from scratch to make it a modern race bike, but look and feel like the original.

It’ll be on display in Val di Sole this week if you want to come take a look.

So rad!

Can we have some insights? How were geometry and suspension numbers chosen?

Incredible project to be part of, and an awesome creative escape for a contract engineer like Dan. 

Dan and I have worked on many projects together, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time in Champery with him the past two years.

He’s an incredible bike engineer and absolute shredder. Getting to chase him down Verbier, Les Houches, Aosta Valley, Champery DH track the day after World Champs has truly been a treat. 

Dan hired me to take on the fabrication side of the project. Here’s some in process shots. 

Hopping on a plane shortly to go buy Dan a beer and watch World Champs. DH is alive and well 🫡
