John Watson’s Woodville

Going to put up a couple of posts on this rig. Long story short, this is the second Woodville John has purchased from us. The first one was a NAHBS 2011 bike, and was unfortunately stolen. But thankfully John had insurance and so he is back up and rolling (after a bit of waiting). Check out his full post here.

Big shout out to Bradford Smith on the amazing in-house powder job on this one (along with all his other help on this). Brad powdered the Geekhouse braze-on DT badge black, cleaned up all around it. Then sprayed the Army green dry, wiped off the black logo, cooked on the green. Then after more clean up went back and added a matte clear to the whole frame. Probably his best powder job to date!

Also included in the build is a custom Geekhouse stem including Paragon 31.8mm face, a tall stack height with a -17 degree rise, and integrated cable hanger. We wanted to go all-out on this bike, and the look of a matching custom stem seemed like an ideal choice.

When I told Brad I wanted to build John custom segmented racks with detachable low-rider mounts. He looked at me like I was a little crazy. And he was right, because these took us a long, long time to dial in and get them perfect. So No, we will not be offering these racks any time soon, haha!

We changed a bunch from John’s old Woodville, forgoing the S&S couplers and decorative triple triangle. And ended up with a bike that has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Even the logo’s are integrated using out stainless braze-on badges. This thing looked so good raw, I had to take some shots.

The raw stem looked so good, especially with welding discoloration. Wish we could have left it like this!

We love the look of our segmented racks, which we started originally with the 2013 NAHBS bikes. We feel these racks perfectly match the Yo Marty segmented forks.

More words and pics coming on this bike tomorrow. Thanks for listening!
