Being stuck at home may be an incentive to do something more exciting than an Instagram push-up contest. A lot of riders on Vital take pride in putting together their own builds, obsessing over parts and matching colors to really come up with “their own” bikes to show off in our Bike Check section. But there is a small, fanatical, select group of people who take that obsession with personalization one step further by actually designing and building their own mountain bike frames. When all constraints imposed by conventional wisdom are removed, the results can be interesting, to say the least. We don’t know if the next great suspension design or material use is hiding among these DIY mountain bike prototypes, but we salute the effort and the ingenuity. Leave your preconceived ideas at the door and jump in to some exceptional homemade mountain bikes post to Vital MTB over the years. -iceman2058
