There is something about haute pink and black. It just works. We don’t usually encourage painting a naked titanium velocipede, but when the result is this fun, how could we do otherwise?
This is Michael’s second naked and we are delighted to send it off into the Vermont wilds with him!

“The bike I selected, and paid for, is a custom-built titanium hardtail, crafted in BC by my friend Sam……. My entire mountain bike fleet now consists of one simple hardtail, capable of tackling any terrain. This choice suits me, my riding style, and my life.”
-Ryan Leech
Who ever said “never meet your hero’s” obviously never met Ryan Leech.
I have followed Ryan’s career since his early days as professional trials rider. I have a very well worn and scratched DVD of “Mastering the Art of Trials”. In this I was first introduce to his “Manifesto Style”, a philosophy of flow that hast shaped his life, teaching growth as a human. This has always resonated with me. In those early days of MTB it was refreshing to see someone understand that mountain bike was far more than loud music and sick edits. It was a lifestyle. A way of connecting with your environment in the simplest way possible, without a bunch of extra “hops” and wasted movement.
This sums up our friendship as well. To be honest, we have actually spent very little time together, but each meeting is heartful, connected and real. Each time, I am reminded of what Mountain Biking can be when you are curious and open your heart to the possibilities that human being, trail and machine can create together.
It was honour to work on Ryan’s ONE mountain bike with him. In his own words, please click through to:

Gabriel grew up on Quadra. A true outdoor child of the rock!
He asked if we could build him a bike with the follow spec:
I’m looking for my one bike to rule them all - gravel, bike packing, the very occasional road ride, bouncing around town, you name it! I live in Squamish, so our gravel is a bit rough but many routes are available. I’m also a fan of multi-day bike packing trips with my partner, either on the islands or the interior.
Im primarily a mountain biker but imagine I’ll be transitioning to more and more gravel as I get older and kids become part of the picture. I already have an XC main bike and an enduro rig so that’s all taken care of. I’m comfortable on any type of technical trail and can ride all the named trails in Squamish and whistler comfortably, and many of the unnamed ones! I regularly race in our local enduro series, and may start racing more gravel/multiday stuff in the future (BC bike race is definitely a goal, and maybe the buckshot!)
Steve’s Little Ti number can be seen Gnailing Gnarnaimo trails. Dialed. Green is the new black. 140mm of travel. Superboost of course.

Clean. Simple. Timeless.
Chad wanted a forever companion for:
”longer gravel rides. lots of climbing. big one day adventure rides. fast. possibly some future bike packing. Everyday. Multisurface adventure machine.”
This one is for those days when you might go for 30 minutes or 30 hours.
You might take this road.
You might take that path.
You want a bike as fluid as your ride plans.
I have no idea where Chad will ride this.
Probably a little bit of everywhere.
And a lot of nowhere in particular.
May we all be so lucky.

Alfredo’s Naked Mt is a really classic example of a modern XC geometry endurance machine for rolling terrain and big days. Light, Agile and comfortable. Leave your brain at home and go crush some classic flowing single track!

When we ride bicycles through the world, our connections are everywhere. Transferring ideas and energy in ways we cannot even imagine. Like mycelium bring seemingly seperate beings together to create one cohesive wholeness. The tendrils of our adventurous spirit quietly changes the world and knows no boundaries. Go find your edges and maybe you will discover there are none.

Val and her Husband Alex have been long time naked customers. They have travelled the world on there naked bicycles for two decades. I have had the pleasure of riding with both of them and even remember Val outrunning a charging bull in the Colima back roads of Mexico. This was actually built a couple years ago but i can’t think of a better example of a client and friend who better personifies the ATB ethos. this bike is workhorse. I can’t wait to see this thing loaded up in some crazy remote part of the planet!

Darcey's Beastie gets a bloody makeover. This bike has been through a lot over the last decade of Snowden slogs, Quadra quadbusting, Menzie mashing and Beaver lodge blasts. Originally Sam's 29plus daily rider, and in the "capable" hands of Darcey ever since, the poor girl needed a full spa treatment. Its going to get abused and splattered right away, so why not give it that messy paint look and take pictures in the rain to start!
Built for anything. This naked Gr has all the clearance, mounts and capability to explore whatever new adventure Catherine dreams up. May this little ti gravel number be faithful companion for years to come!
