After my post yesterday on how terrible the Specialized line looks, I figured today should be about a true work of art.
WOLFHOUND CYCLES
Fred Cuthbert of Wolfhound Cycles builds what is considered a true work of art. His fillet brazed, custom steel creations not only look like nothing else on the trail, but they are the best riding steel frames that I have ever had the pleasure of testing. Hambone's orange Wolfhound 29er rigid is featured on this site.

What makes a Wolfhound special?
There are many reasons, the most important being the quality of the ride. Because I spend so much time figuring out exactly what the customer wants, the bike becomes a tailor-made vessel- much like a fine suit that fits only one person perfectly. Another reason is the hand-built craftsmanship. A Wolfhound is about innovative design carried out with old-school craftsmanship. When you look at a Wolfhound, look close; examine the fine details, the smoothness of the joints, and the unique form of the many drop-out and gusset options available. I love the challenge of creating details that are totally unique. If you have an idea for a bike, please share it with me, and I will do everything I can to build your vision.
His ability to morph your ideas to life is part of the reason his frames are so special. Fred takes real pleasure in creating the ride and look that each one of his customer has in mind. His option list is like none other in the custom frame industry, and you aren't even limited to those options. Fred will create just about anything you dream up.
All of this design and craftsmanship is great, but how do they ride? When it all comes down to it...that is what really matters. Luckily, these creative designs deliver one of the best rides that money can buy. In a day where designers and manufacturers are searching for the new miracle material that will create the perfect ride, Fred does it will steel and fabrication. His frames are dialed. Between his knowledge and fabrication and your desire to have the perfect frame for you...you end up with a bike that rides better than you could have ever dreamed.
Just be careful...these bikes stop traffic...literally. And too much cruizing around his website or looking at the following pictures will make you want to stop every thing, pick up the phone and place an order.
