I'm really excited about this new Ellis Cycles jersey design.

For those who have complained that my jerseys fit a bit to "snug", these Indigo/Aqua jerseys are a more relaxed cut, so should be a more comfy fit.

Also still offering my Red/White jerseys along with bib shorts, and a really nice base layer that I use all the time.

Check it all out on my website here.

Pre-order lasts until March 24th and everything should arrive in early May.

Do you dress the part?

Folks have been asking me for an Ellis Cycles headbadge since I started Ellis back in 2008, well, I finally listened...

If you'd like to retrofit your existing Ellis, I have an option for that, and any new Ellis looks a little more special with a headbadge!

I chatted with Joe at Cobra Framebuilding for his podcast, if you like listening to bike nerds talking about framebuilding, this is for you!

This Teutonic Strada Fango headed home with Robert, aka Cowboybob last Friday.

If you're ready to create your own one of a kind Ellis, check out www.elliscycles.com!

Velocolour does some of the best paintwork I've ever seen, this frame is no exception. Work like this takes time, lots of it, and all folks like Velocolour and Ellis Cycles ask is that folks see the value in high quality craftsmanship.

Ellis Cycles updated their business hours.

Just finished up Angie's Strada Fango. She opted for 2 sets of wheels, a 700x30mm road set, and a 650x50mm gravel/offroad set, which just makes this bike amazingly versatile! It also has my personal favorite setup with Shimano Di2 XT derailleurs, an Ultegra cross crank and GRX brakes and shifters. This allows for a super wide 11x40 cassette on the 650b wheels and with that she can spin right up even the steepest gravel climb. I also love the Starlight Purple paint she chose, which unfortunately just won't photograph right. It looks much more purple in reality, but as soon as I look through the camera it makes it much more blue. C'est la vie!

David picked up his Strada Fango a couple weeks ago, here's some glamour shots before it got dirty.

A fun project I got to work on a few months back!

The Schwinn Paramount Build - Wisconsin Bike Fed The bike, prized among fellow collectors and eerily resembling one he raced in his youth, took two years to build up. But for Eccles, the selection of builder was as special as the steel frame and the unique groupset that went into the final product — a 50th anniversary edition Schwinn Paramount w...

Mark just picked up his new Ellis Strada Disc. So pleased with this one and the build turned out super clean. Of course the fact that Mark went with one of my favorite colors, champagne, doesn't hurt a bit!

Misty initially contacted me because she just couldn't get her Cervelo tri bike to fit her properly. After a solid fit session with Brett Meinke and much discussion, this is the result. Paint is inspired by the red eyed tree frog, and executed by the incomparable Velocolour!

And now, for something you'll really like! I give you Jay's 29'er with a stunning paintjob by Velocolour, wheels, stem, bar and post by ENVE and Shimano XTR components.

Gene's Modern Classic leans a bit more Classic, with a lot of polished silver parts and a Brooks leather saddle and bar tape to finish off this gentleman's road bike!

Two lovely new Ellis' fresh from paint. They're both painted Champagne, with a contrasting white head tube, they're both going to be ridden mostly on the road, but they're also quite different and yet uniquely elegant in their own ways.

Having some issues with my Ellis Cycles email right now, we're working on it. I'll post an update when it's fixed!

In 2009 I was planning to attend the Cirque du Cyclisme vintage bike show in Leesburg, VA, which is a combination of show, and bike rides over a long weekend. I didn't have an Ellis of my own to ride, so I quickly put this singlespeed together with some old parts and some eclectic new stuff that I managed to source through Ben's Cycle.

I built this one for myself in 2010, basically it's the bike I desperately wanted when I started riding and racing seriously in the mid-late '80's. Campagnolo Record with Delta brakes, just like the Laurent Fignon, Miguel Indurain and Greg Lemond.
