This/last week, in the news... 11/16/2009
Well, if you haven't heard yet, Siren Bicycles has started to take over the world, with a little help from us, of course! Check out their recent newsletter here. While you're at it, you'd might as well sign up for it too. Here's a snippet: "Hey Brain, what do you want to do tonight? We're going to try to take over the world. Introducing... My Next Bike of Manila, Philippines, our first international distributor. MNB is a group of good guys who are stoked about handmade wares and will be our sole distributor in Southeast Asia." That said, we're more than ready to take your orders for any Siren frame. Off-the-shelf sizing or full-custom, we'll set you up. Brendan Collier Q&A 10/23/2009
While trawling (not trolling!) the interwebs we came across this March 2009 interview of Siren Bicycles' Brendan Collier. Guitar Ted and TwentyNineInches.com did profiles of master builders and Brendan was one of their resource people. Guitar Ted gave us permission to feature the interview here on the site.

Almost there! Everything's coming together nicely. Our frames are scheduled to go to the powdercoater later this week, can't wait to see them in our custom colors too! Details on the John Henry frame include: Paragon Machine Works sliding dropouts AND bottom bracket, True Temper top tube and Brendan's own proprietary, size-specific mix of steel tubing for the rest of the frame. Thanks to Brendan@Siren for the photos and updates regarding the build process! Somewhere in this pile of tubes... 10/13/2009
