Kent Eriksen

Kent is how we make 200 frames annually. Years of experience, a tireless attitude and dedication is how he does it. Unless Katie can get him out to ride his designs he is at the shop day and night. Personally cutting, mitering, jigging and aligning every frame, he is the builder beginning to end. You can count on your Kent Eriksen frame being built by Kent and no other.

Katie Lindquist

Katie doubles as business partner and wife to Kent. Running the business operations she performs accounting, sales, advertising and marketing. Katie is also critical in research and development. She puts every frame and bike component to the test, logging many miles both on and off road. If you have a question about a component, she has an opinion!

Chris Moore

Chris is our talented welder. As you may notice, his welds are unsurpassed. Welding titanium is artistic, exact, and unforgiving. Weld properties are heavily influenced by welding procedures. Requiring exclusion of reactive gases, including oxygen and nitrogen (i.e. air), the welder must maintain cleanliness and form. Chris’ extensive experience, patience and dedication achieve the perfect welds put into our frames.

In addition to welding for us, Chris is also a local firefighter and a rally race car driver.

Bo Randolph

Bo joined us as a high school student working on his senior project, frame fabrication. He worked with us through the process of each part of frame building. We were so impressed with Bo we hired him on after graduation. Bo performs the finish work which includes bead blasting, buffing and setting all the decals. He even hand hammers individual serial numbers onto each bottom bracket. Finally he carefully packs the finished product for shipment to the customer.

Bo is a 2008 Olympic hopeful. He competes in freestyle skiing representing the US. This summer Bo co-piloted with Chris in a local Rally car races. They did great, and had a ball!

Derek Leidigh

Joining us in November is Derek Leidigh. Derek is a recent engineering graduate. He is interning for the winter with Kent, learning the frame fabrication industry. We hope to use his advanced computer skills to get our computer aided machines up and running. In addition to working with us, Derek plans to teach skiing at the ski area this winter. No one gets by with one job in a ski town…
