Twosixbikes - Hand-made Frames Built in the U.S.A.

We are a small custom hand-made bicycle frame manufacturer located in Arizona. We specialize in hand made, heat treated 6061 aluminum hard-tail frames. Almost everything is made in house from dropouts to our hand made yoke.In our line-up as of now are our urban/dirt jumper and trail frames. We decided we would show Pinkbike the process of making something truly unique. Below is the process of a custom Dual Slalom frame from the beginning to the end. All our frames are hand made by the Co-Owner Adam who is a Aerospace Certified Welder.

Here is where we start with our custom builds getting all the fine details (insert humor here)
