Bruce Gordon Cycles Continues
Hi, I'd like to introduce myself, my name is David di Falco, and my wife Tanya and I are now operating Bruce Gordon Cycles.
I started cycling as my primary transportation in 1976 and began working in a bike shop in 1978. Eventually I wanted more creative expression, so in 1991 I enrolled in a frame building class with Albert Eisentraut. When I graduated Albert suggested I look up his former student, Bruce Gordon, and in 1992 Bruce hired me. I was his only employee for the 11 years I was there. We built a lot more than bike frames and racks; we collaborated on numerous fun projects and it was an experience like no other. Bruce and I maintained our friendship after I left to start my own business.
We are happy to be continuing the online store selling the tires and accessories that Bruce designed.

Thank you, we agree, Bruce made beautiful bicycles. We're based in Petaluma, CA, but Bruce passed away, so is no longer making bikes. The tires will continue to be made, though, and sold through the online store - brucegordoncycles.bigcartel.com
