Pursuit Cycles

It is with a mixture of pride and sadness that we post this message to our friends, family, and customers at Pursuit Cycles.

With our experience at Strong Frames, and some good relationships, we pitched an idea to some key players in 2016 to manufacture in-house, quality, customizable, modular monocoque carbon frames. With that Pursuit Cycles was born - the main goal being to build the finest carbon fiber bicycles in the world. Pursuit Cycles has been recognized in the bicycle industry, receiving glowing reviews in cycling media, as well as "Best Carbon Construction" at the (NAHBS) North American Handmade Bike Show.

Recently through our partner and chief engineer, Dr. Jared Nelson PhD, we had an opportunity to participate in a very exciting project with Montana State University (MSU) and the US Naval Dept of Research. We were asked to contract for services building test parts with a new carbon fiber developed by Doug Cairns (innovator of the Trek OCLV) as well as a concurrent and equally exciting project working with Steve Tsai (Godfather of Carbon and the Tsai-Wu criterion) developing new laminate theories.

As cyclists it seemed distracting to our core mission, but also served as a way to access some of the best brains and technology around. With a shop full of engineers, and the opportunity to "Always Get Better" we were in the fortunate position that we could either keep building bicycles, or take this opportunity to retire and allow the team we built to move on and do research. With that, we've decided it was time to let go, move on, and take a nice long ride. We are beyond proud of what we were able to create, and flattered by the opportunities we've had along the way.
