The Henry James Philosophy

Since our first investment cast steel Bottom Bracket Shell in 1977, our goal has been to manufacture Henry James products using the highest standards and qual-ity control. We are very proud of the fact that all Henry James Bicycle products are made in the USA.

About Custom Bicycle Design

Custom builders know that a true custom frame has to be designed around:

* A combination of the leg length AND the rider's leg, torso and arm proportions

* The rider's weight, strength, and riding style (from smooth to aggressive)

* The desired frame stiffness, based on intended use and preferred ride feel

* The rider's esthetic taste and budget

This short list of requirements covers such a wide range, that no production bike can ever give you a true custom fit. Stock frame designs must be a com-promise. Custom bikes are sold on how well they fit, and how well they ride.

Many of today's top custom builders are using the latest lightweight steel tub-ing, investment cast steel lugs, and their understanding of bicycle fit and con-struction to provide their customers with a truly custom ride without compro-mise.

Henry James Investment Cast Steel: Lugs, Bottom Bracket Shells & Fork Crowns

Henry James is the only maker of investment cast bicycle parts that has made the

commitment to offer a full range of lug angles in regular and oversize diameters.

This allows Custom Builders to design their frames to meet the riders needs.

The mass produced lugged bicycle is long gone. Today, lugged construction is

found primarily on quality, hand made bicycles. The added technical and esthetic

values offset the added labor of lugged construction. Custom bicycle enthusiasts

appreciate the technical superiority, better reliability, longer life, and great looks

of a well made lugged frame.

Silver brazed construction with lugs reinforces the joints, so the frame has added

strength where it is needed. Building with lugs also allows the frame builder’s

artistry to come through in the finished product.

Henry James is unique in offering component series that all match esthetically.

Our Lugs, BB Shells, Crowns and Dropouts in each series are all styled to work

together.

Henry James Investment Cast Steel Dropouts

Henry James stainless steel dropouts are designed to fit seamlessly into the chain

stays and seat stays for a clean, integrated look. Our innovation is that the seat

stay part of the dropout is designed so the builder can bend it before brazing so it

looks perfectly designed for any size frame.

Single Speed Dropouts—Laser Cut 4130 Steel

We sell 3 versions of our laser cut

single-speed dropouts; Road,

Mountain and Conversion. The

conversion dropouts are designed

to make it easier to salvage that

favorite old frame by converting it

from derailleur dropouts to single

speed dropouts.

THE ART OF CUSTOM FRAMEBUILDING

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people look at a bicycle and

see a functional transportation tool. Others see the purest form of art and crafts-

manship. The great thing about the bicycle is that it satisfies both of these people's

needs. A true blend of form and function.

You may be considering building or purchasing a custom built bicycle. With the

growth in bicycle sales, there are more custom framebuilders than ever before. So if

you are looking to have one built, it is fairly easy to find a builder. If you are consid-

ering building a bicycle, it can be a very rewarding experience, but it does take some

time and patience to develop the skills to be able to build a frame that matches the

image in your mind. Part of the beauty of a custom bicycle is that it is one of a kind,

flaws and all.

OK, so now that you are thinking about a custom bicycle, over a stock bicycle that

you can buy at the local bike shop, let's remember what truly makes it custom. A

good custom framebuilder will be able to match the bicycle to the riding style of the

rider as well as address any specific fit needs. Knowing how to craft a pile of steel

tubes, lugs and other parts into a fun, fast work of art is what the custom experience

is all about. Enjoy the ride.

Frame Building Equipment: Gasfluxer Model 69

The Gasfluxer Model 69 is on the wish list of many frame builders. The time sav-

ings alone on the cleanup after brazing, makes this a must have tool .

The Gasflux® Process introduces a flux automatically into the flame for manu-al or automatic torch brazing applications. Introduced into the fuel gas, Gasflux creates superior wetting action and encourages filler metal to evenly flow into the joint where it is needed most.

Used with bronze, silver, and copper-silver-phosphorus filler metals, Gasflux® pro-

duces joints of optimum strength and outstanding appearance while reduc-ing post-braze cleanup costs.

Frame Building Equipment: Henry James Jigs & Fixtures

Henry James introduced his Original frame jig in 1990. Since then, many top build-

ers have relied on their Henry James jigs to help them build the straightest and

most accurate bicycle frames. Today, Henry James offers two frame building jig

models and a variety of attachments and accessories designed to help the builder

get the most out of their jig.

Universal Jig

Based upon the Original, this

jig provides easy set-up with

the ability to build with any

material and assembly tech-

nique (TIG, Lugged, FIillet

Brazed). The specially de-

signed Universal Tube Supports firmly hold in place any tube diameter and shape.

Access 65 Jig

Also capable of building with any material and assembly type, the Access 65 offers

unobstructed access to the critical joints of the frame. At only 65 pounds, this jig

is ideal for all levels of builder, at a value that is hard to beat.

Henry James 2 Axis Jig Stand

The brand new Henry James Jig Stand is the first stand to allow builders the ability

to easily position the frame building jig in the ideal position when working on the

bicycle frame.

Jig Attachments/Accessories

Henry James has designed several accessories that

further enhance the performance of our frame

building jigs, including integrated Fork building jigs,

and the popular Bridge & Boss Jig for installing

bridges and cantilever brake bosses.

THE TRUE TEMPER STORY

True Temper Sports has a well deserved worldwide reputation as the leading manufacturer of steel golf shafts. True Temper golf shafts have many of the same requirements as a good bicycle frame tube: high strength, light weight and precision manufacture. True Temper has the technical expertise and decades of experience to take full advantage of steel's potential. For nearly 30 years, True Temper bicycle tubing has been the choice of framebuilders big and small. With over 120 different tubes to choose, the builder can truly customize the ride of the bicycle to meet the demands of the rider. True Temper bicycle tubing has faced the toughest conditions that our sport demands. From soaring over the highest mountain passes in the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, to conquering the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix, True Temper has used these experiences to bring today's framebuilder the best bicycle tubing in the industry. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, all of True Temper bicycle tubing is PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA.

THE FEEL OF STEEL

If you are looking for the most responsive, pure ride, you know that "Steel is Real."

Ask any serious cyclist and he will tell you the same thing. While the marketing

dollars in today's business world are going to promote the sales of other more

"exotic" bicycle materials, there is still nothing that compares to the ride quality of

steel.

Custom framebuilders around the world will tell you that there is nothing like

building the perfect custom steel bicycle. Being able to combine the artistry and

craftsmanship that goes into building an incredible bicycle frame with the benefits

of building it to meet the unique needs of the rider, can best be accomplished with

steel.

With advancements in the manufacturing of their steel bicycle tubing, True Temper

Sports is blowing the doors off the old stereotypes with steel tubing that provides

the best of both worlds - the strength and performance of steel with the light-

weight advantages of other frame materials. Framebuilders building with True

Temper’s revolutionary new S3 tubing are capable of building a sub 3 pound frame

that rides like a dream.

So maybe it’s time to start building your dream bike.

THE TRUE TEMPER ADVANTAGE FOR CUSTOM FRAMES

Butt Transition Center Section Transition Butt

Diameter

Tube Wall Thickness

True Temper Sports makes a wide range of frame tube diameters and wall thicknesses. The large selection allows Custom Framebuilders to easily fine tune the ride of the frame, from lively to stiff. The major factors in determining the liveliness or stiffness of a frame tube are first, the tube diameter, then the tube walls, and finally the length of the thinner center section of the tube. Framebuilders fine tune their best frames by choosing the ideal center section length. True Tem-per offers the largest selection of any bicycle tube manufacturer.

The World’s Best Builders Choose True Temper Tubing

Many of the top builders make True Temper Steel Bicycle Tubing their

top choice. Whether the frame is for a classic styled road bicycle, a

super lightweight road racing machine, a 29er mountain bike or a super

strong BMX bike, or something completely out of this world,

True Temper has the range of tubing to satisfy the builder’s needs.

So, whether you are considering building a bicycle frame or looking to

have one built just for you, demand the best...demand TRUE TEMPER.
