DED RECKIN
Titanium and steel 120/130 full suspension mountain bike.
Born from the heart.
Frame Only - $3,400
Full Builds - $7,900+
Significant Other bikes channel lived experience and tell stories, with each showpiece carrying Ashley's (the fabricator) perspective forward as a quiet imprint of where she’s come from and where she’s heading. That idea sits at the heart of the Ded Reckin, a bike named for the art of locating yourself by accounting for where you've already been. It contains elements from every part of Ashley’s fabrication journey while reflecting her evolving aesthetic, the friendships formed along the way, and the trails she is riding now.
The Ded Reckin celebrates her history while pointing clearly forward. It marks a shift from one-off customs to competitively priced production models that still read as showpieces and are still designed with her team and welded by her in her studio.
True to its name, this is a bike built from the miles behind, and hungry for the ones ahead.

Build Options
The Ded Reckin can be ordered as frame-only, frame+shock, frame+shock+fork+headset, or as a complete bike. In an effort to keep things manageable in our one-woman shop and to thank the brands that supported our prototype bike, the parts listed on the complete build are not customizable beyond the Carbon Mod.
A note on the Helm MKII fork finish: Cane Creek no longer produces their forks with the Galaxy finish, which is what was on the fork at the Made bike show. Instead, fork build options will come with an all black fork.

Prosise Metal Works Machining Mod
The machined parts on the stock frame (the rocker, lower shock mounts, main pivot bolt, and co-axial brake mount) are made by my 3D printing partner in Shangai. When selecting this mod, those parts will be manufactured by Prosise Metal Works in Colorado instead.
