A-train Cycles
Share
We specialize in making fine, handcrafted bicycles and accessories that are organically suited to a rider’s goals, temperament and aesthetic sensibilities.
While this has transformed into a business, it was born out of a passion and love for cycling. The framebuilding is done by one man: Alex Cook, or as he’s lovingly called The A-train. He learned the framebuilding craft somewhat self indulgently as an outlet for creativity, expression and imagination nurtured through several years of working in a bike shop and living the cycling lifestyle. As his skills have matured he has put them to good use helping others translate their own creative visions into beautiful and functional bicycles and accessories. While we are capable and willing to take on any project, we especially like the odd and unique, including fat bikes, offset racks, and anything else that might invoke a bit of head scratching and napkin doodling. Have a look around, check out the blog, the gallery, and drop us a line if you’d like to talk about any potential projects. We’re quick to respond to emails and phone calls, and love talking about bikes.

Rod's new road bike all built up. Now it's time to take it apart for shipping to Indianapolis. I love the new ENVE Composites 12mm thru-axle disk cross fork. Even though this is a road bike it gives Rod the option to run 32mm tires if he wishes. Other highlights include White Industries CLD hubs, Chris King Precision Components headset and bottom bracket, and a Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain.

Huge Bummer.
Last chance to ride the Minnesota River Bottoms, a grass-roots bike route that’s soon to be paved Balancing between a narrow slice of dedicated users and a broad range of future users is something that planners try to do carefully.
