"Tim,
Your workshop was a blast. I liked that it was casual and laid back. I still probably have many, many questions that the scope of jigged workshop couldn't cover. I thought it was well worth the money."

-Chris N.

"I hope you're having a great time on your tour. The bike fits perfect and rides amazing. It feels fast and responsive, yet comfortable. I think you got that balance exactly how i wanted. It also performs well on the dirt. I've been taking it on some trails recently.

Thank you so much!"

"Tim, The frame came in yesterday, its rides amazing and the fit is great. I've attached some pics I took out on the first ride. Thanks for the great frame."

-Travis S

"Hey Tim, just wanted to say thanks again, had a great time, learned a lot, and am super excited about the frame. I look forward to doing another class in the future"

"Tim,
So here is my bike, all put together. I've ridden several hundred
miles so far on a couple of long trips and everything seems great."

-Ryan K.

"I highly recommend the frame builder. Workmanship is excellent and the ride is great. The build is detailed at http://bachelorandsons.blogspot.com/search/label/Bicycling"

"Hello Tim-

Earlier in November I purchased on of your framesets locally from a young gent- a 58cm (with OX tubing decal) touring style that had never been built up.

Over the last couple of months I've had some time to build it up. I was impressed by the lugged frame details as I built it, but the ride is much more than I expected!! The handling and downhill characteristics of this bike are superb! I did 68 miles of hills yesterday and I'M STILL SMILIN'. Looking forward to touring the coast with my riding club, The Oakland Yellowjackets. Although I don't know the history of this frame, kudos to your craftsmanship.

Thanks,
John Horton."

"Tim,
As I mentioned before the class was great-- I really had a good time and have a new frame to boot. I hope to build a couple more frames this winter for friends and see where it leads.

If there is anything I can help you out with in the future let me know.

Thanks again!"

-Dan C.

"Tim,
The fit is identical to my carbon bike just like I wanted."

"My work with Tim and Sanner Cycles was my first experience with a custom frame, so naturally I had a lot of questions and concerns. From geometry specifics to tubing options to paint & finish, Tim was courteous, very patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted, and we worked out details down to the millimeter. He always had a friendly, collaborative mindset which gave me lots of confidence and reassurance as a first-time
custom frame buyer. What I really liked about working with Tim was that he seemed just as excited to build the frame as I was to order
it; he's passionate about his work and it comes out in the frames. The man's integrity is second to none, and he'll bend over backwards to
accommodate his clients and make them happy, which goes a long way in my book.

While it's true that Tim does very good work, the truth is there's a ton of framebuilders out there, but what sets them apart is more than who can weld a decent frame. Tim's frames are beautiful and built-to-spec down to the last detail, but the biggest reason he'll be getting my future business is that I wouldn't want to work with anyone else at this point, plain and simple. I couldn't have asked for a better person to collaborate with and I hope to do it again in the future.

Here's my custom Sanner Single/Fixed frame. I'm in love. The handling's exactly the right balance between smooth and responsive,
plus the fit and feel couldn't be more tailor-made. Now I see what a custom frame is all about, I'm able to do so much more with this bike. The powder coat finish is a beautiful cream color, couldn't ask for more. King headset, Mavic rims, Nitto/Sugino bars & cranks, and the seatpost is a Miche Supertype. I'll die a happy man, thanks again for everything Tim."

"I was looking for someone to build me a true hybrid... Something 700c, fast for the road but maneuverable in heavy traffic. Tim took the time to help me figure out the right geometry for the aggressive kind of in-town riding I planned to do. Tim's knowledge, applied to what I wanted and my measurements gave me a really nice handling, firm bike that isn't too rigid. My bike has predictable handling that I quickly learned to trust and I always look forward to riding it."

"Tim,
Got it built and took it for a ride today. Rides great. Stiff and lively, but very comfortable. Climbs great both standing and seated. Decending at 45+ mph was rock solid. Almost seemed slow. It's everything I was looking for. I am very happy.

I attached some pics. I built it with Chris King Headset... wheels are Mavic Open Pro rims with Chris King Hubs, Xt & XTR Derailers and shifters... Got to get some Tubus racks for front and back now.

Thanks a bunch. It was very easy working with you. I will send some pics of the bike when I get back from touring Kentucky horse country in a couple weeks.

Oh yeah, the fit is perfect too."

"Tim:
The shop that I wound up having do most of the build is in Santa Clara.Their head
mechanic practically went over the frame like Sherlock Holmes with his
magnifying eyeglasses on, and pronounced it a good deal for the price, and
"nice work".

I'm more than willing to talk up your business to other cyclists
I meet. In fact, if you have a business card or other hard-copy marketing
materials, I'd be happy to carry a stash of them and give them to folks
who ask about the bike."

-Steve S.

"Hi Tim.

I wanted to follow up with you on my bike.. It has been fantastic. I really love it. I've been able to take it out on a number of rides, a few of which I have been able to put back some serious miles. It's being WELL loved!

Here is a picture of me riding the hard side of Mt. Tam with a bunch of mountain bikers and feeling proud of it!"

"Tim:
Just back from an 9 day tour along the northern shore of Lake Ontario and St, Lawrence River from Niagara Falls to the beginning of La Route Verte on the Quebec border.
738 km with a mix of path/trail, road and single track- the bike was great."

"The bike fits like a glove"
