1 week agoMassive Loss for Handmade Bikes: Paragon Machine Works is Closing
Paragon Machine Works will cease all major operations on March 27th, 2026, after over four decades of supporting the custom bicycle industry.
While mountain bikes are my bread and butter, I also have a deep love for the world of drop bars in all its forms. From bikepacking to road racing and everything in between, the 2025 MADE Handmade Bike Show had a plethora of beautiful drop-bar bikes to gawk at. Some have disc brakes, while others have rim brakes. Some with suspension forks and some with rigid forks and 32" wheels, but all of them were made to be stared at and enjoyed.
