SIZEMORE BICYCLE
ROLE: FRAMEBUILDER, PROPRIETOR
My work with Sizemore Bicycle focused on designing and fabricating bikes that didn’t exist yet — early gravel and adventure platforms, mixed-surface commuters, and experimental urban performance designs.
Riders came to me when the market couldn’t meet their vision. Through iterative prototyping, geometry experimentation, and hands-on fabrication, I built bikes that helped shape new riding categories before they had names.
This work taught me how to see around the corner of a market, listen deeply to individual needs, and turn emerging behaviors into physical tools — lessons I carry into my design practice today.
A fast, urban commuter, inspired by NJS track bikes, for Adam Katz Sinding.
My entry in the 2011 Oregon Manifest.
A kickstand was a requirement for the competition so I designed one that folded down from under the front rack.
A locking system was another requirement. My solution was a cable lock that extended out of the seat tube and locked back onto the frame. When not in use it could be kept in the position you see it in, no rattles, just there when you need it.
Before there was a category called gravel I was building road frames with cantilever brakes and fat 35c cyclocross tires. Ironically probably one of the most timeless and versatile bikes anyone could own, even today.
1x gearing, with only a rear disc brake, some people like weird in their design, I’m one of them, and so is DM.
Sizemore Bicycle was selected to work with Teague for the 2014 edition of the Oregon Manifest / The Bike Design Project.
