"I am extremely serious about creating a bike from a blank piece of paper. My bike designs are no cut & Paste development. Every tube on the Archon is new, never before used and specified to the standards that when combined create a frame truly like no other. I feel a well designed and crafted bicycle is much like a fine quality musical instrument. Over or under tuning only makes the music less enjoyable, "The Archon" hits the note perfectly." -Brad DeVaney.
