When JP Boylan lived in Michigan he was a member of the Extang (now
Ford/Giant) Cat 1/2 road team. A couple of years ago JP finished
second in the big Tour di Via Italia race on Erie Street in Windsor.
This was the best performance in the Erie Street race by an amateur
Michigan based rider in many years. JP grew up in Dearborn and
graduated from University of Michigan with a BS in Mechanical
Engineering and a MS in Biomedical Engineering (concentration in
Biomechanics).

I received the following interesting email from JP recently;

Mike,

I'm making custom bikes, cyclocross included, in Boulder, CO and
would love to get some business from Michigan riders. I am currently
working with Columbus steel and Easton aluminum and will add titanium
within a month. I am only doing custom frames so I don't have any
stock or stocked frames right now, although my turnaround is rather
quick for a custom builder. Approx 3 weeks, at present, from receipt
of deposit to delivery.

I will have bikes being ridden in the area by Dave Meyers and Jim
Levinsohn within a couple of weeks if anyone is interested in
inspecting the quality and finish. All my frames are painted by
Spectrum Powder Works (www.spectrumpowderworks.com) who do a first
rate job. I have been impressed with every bike I've gotten from
them.

Please direct people to my website, under development, for pricing
and contact info (www.jamesframes.com). I think you will be very
pleasantly surprised with the pricing.

I offer complete bikes as well as frame only. I'm willing to try
anything if anyone has any special project bike ideas (i.e.. disc
brake cross, singlespeed with eccentric BB, 29" mtn/cross bike) Let
your imagination run wild. Lead times will increase with the level of
imagination.

Thanks Mike,

JP Boylan
