Welcome to the Desperado’s back door! Beginning in Tail Wind Shoppe (my original store front in Madison Wisconsin) in 1993, I have been silver fillet brazing bicycle frames together. In August of 1997 I began a vision to offer my “Children” on a world market. Working with Henry James as a supplier of US Steel’s finest bicycle frame tubing -True Temper- I am looking forward to another successful year in 2008. Web page building is a fun and challenging distraction from working in the shop and I hope the new format is easier for you to navigate around the many pages offered here.

Specializing in custom built frames and forks, I also offer complete component packages to complete in that “Dream Machine”.

Happy Cycling!

Jalon Hawk

From concept to finished product, I provide the utmost consideration to every detail!

The latest in a high performance collapsible frame for travel!

A shot in the dark, how are you?  Did you move from mad town, i saw tailwind Deerfield, doefield, WI on your logo, I must be thinking of venison.  I hope all is well, life never lets up on any of us.  I have a four year old daughter who I tow around, secretely planting the biking addiction, hoping she'll like it and I can ride the divide with her for her high school graduation.  My body is soar, shattered tibial plateau from the half pipe at tyrol, neck fracture from winter park on trents piece of shit +++, it was bar time i guess, but the sweet metax bike makes me feel good, and definitly has take the years better than i have.  At least five years on the wors circuit, probably eight, countless hours of training, countless hours of joy riding levies, smecker, strawberry hill cali, taos, tyler tx, winter park 3 or 4 times, the continential divide and two bob carts, so many countless, unbelievable miles.  And finally, that front whell you built me, the one that the bike mechanic in big sky looked at and said your done, you ain't gonna make it, well, finally, that whell isn't with us.  I left the bike in the garage this winter (2009), and i think the extreme cold had its way and snapped the Chris king hub flange.  Ha, I outlasted your whell.

Give me a shoot, let me know your still alive, I know when I'm dead and burried someone will be riding a sweet ass bike!
