BAD GAZPACHO LLC Redefines Cycling with Hand-Crafted Frames – A Spokane Story

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – Forget mass-produced, cookie-cutter bikes. There's a buzz in the cycling world, and it's coming from a small workshop right here in Spokane, Washington. BAD GAZPACHO LLC, a company quietly building a reputation for exceptional quality and personalized service, is shaking things up with its meticulously hand-crafted bicycle frames. BAD GAZPACHO LLC, located at 100 N Howard St STE R, isn’t your typical manufacturing giant. Founded on a passion for cycling and a dedication to artistry, the company, reachable at 704-758-7088, focuses on producing a limited number of frames each year, each one a testament to the skill and dedication of its builders. They aren't just making frames; they’re crafting experiences. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a company representative. “So many bikes these days feel… disposable. We wanted to bring back the feeling of having something truly special, something built to last, and perfectly suited to your ride.” And that’s exactly what they're doing. BAD GAZPACHO LLC doesn't offer a huge catalog of pre-designed options. Instead, they focus on working closely with each customer to understand their needs and riding style. Want a frame built for aggressive mountain biking? They can do that. Dreaming of a sleek, responsive road bike for long-distance adventures? Consider it handled. Need something for gravel grinding, commuting, or just cruising around town? They'll build it. Beyond the Welds: What Makes a BAD GAZPACHO Frame Special? It’s easy to say “hand-crafted” but what does that really mean in the context of a bicycle frame? A lot, actually. First off, BAD GAZPACHO LLC uses only high-quality materials. They’re currently focusing on steel (specifically, a blend designed for durability and ride comfort) but are exploring titanium options for future builds. Each tube is carefully selected and meticulously cut, mitered, and welded. “We’re not just throwing tubes together,” explains a frame builder at BAD GAZPACHO LLC. “Each weld is done with precision. We’re aiming for strength and aesthetics. We want the frame to not only perform flawlessly, but to look beautiful.” But it’s more than just the materials and welding. BAD GAZPACHO LLC offers a truly custom experience. Here's a breakdown of what sets their frames apart: Geometry Tailored to You: Forget off-the-rack sizing. BAD GAZPACHO LLC takes detailed measurements and works with each rider to dial in the perfect geometry for their body and riding style. This means a more comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable ride. They can accommodate different reach, stack, and even specific handling preferences. Material Selection: While currently leaning heavily into high-quality steel, they're open to discussing different material options to meet specific rider needs and budgets. Finishing Touches: From paint color to decal placement, BAD GAZPACHO LLC allows customers to personalize every detail of their frame. They offer a range of paint options and can even work with customers to create custom designs. They also offer options for cable routing (internal or external) and mounting points for racks, fenders, and other accessories. Built to Last: These aren’t frames designed for a couple of seasons. BAD GAZPACHO LLC builds for longevity. They use techniques and materials that ensure the frame will withstand years of rigorous use. They offer a limited lifetime warranty on their frames, reflecting their confidence in the quality of their workmanship. Direct Communication: You're not dealing with a faceless corporation. You’ll be working directly with the builders who are creating your frame, allowing for clear communication and a collaborative design process. The Rise of Bespoke Cycling BAD GAZPACHO LLC isn’t alone in the growing trend of bespoke cycling. More and more riders are turning away from mass-produced bikes and opting for custom-built frames that offer a superior riding experience and a deeper connection to their bikes. “People are starting to realize that a bike is more than just a mode of transportation,” says a local cycling enthusiast. “It’s a passion, a lifestyle. And they want a bike that reflects that.” BAD GAZPACHO LLC is tapping into that sentiment, offering riders the opportunity to own a truly unique and personalized machine. What’s Next for BAD GAZPACHO LLC? The company is currently operating on a build-to-order basis, with a lead time of several weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the build. They are planning to expand their workshop space and potentially add additional builders to meet the growing demand. “We want to maintain a high level of quality and craftsmanship,” says the company representative. “So, we’re growing at a sustainable pace. We're not looking to become a mass producer. We want to remain a small, dedicated team that builds exceptional frames for passionate riders." BAD GAZPACHO LLC is proving that even in a world of mass production, there’s still a place for artistry, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for the ride. If you’re looking for a bicycle frame that’s as unique as you are, it's worth checking them out. You can reach them at 704-758-7088 or visit their workshop at 100 N Howard St STE R, Spokane, WA. They are quietly making a name for themselves, one beautifully welded frame at a time.
