Gambler Death Project


Gambler death project: el diablo negro!

“Let's roll the dice...”

So the cats out of the bag!  Thank god, it was getting stuffy in there!  So, Gambler Death Project is about to be a real thing.  Mark the date: 4/24/2020.  Apex of COVID.  Trying times.  But so comes the epic Gambler Death Project build!  Mean.  Slack.  Long.  Mullet!  Yeah, you heard me: MULLET!  This thing is going to be radical!  Down to its cerakote paint job.  All black.  All matte.  All mean.


All thanks to the guys at Ferrum bikes in Las Vegas, NV!  It was a pleasure working with the 'locals' this time around.  Although some great frames were in the mix: Chromag, Shand, REEB, etc.  They took the cake for unique, different, and a bit crazy!

180mm fork.  Carbon galore!  Unique.  Utterly wild geometry.  Hand made steel.  One project to eclipse them all?   At least I hope!  Stay tuned, it'll be a while, but worth it!


Gambler Death Project is alive!  As of 7/1/2020, the project is done!  Let the riding begin!  And as of 7/17/2020 Gambler Death Project has a new home!

Chromoly, long, slack, and mean!  Picture it, for now, in satin black cerakote if you will.  Super rad mullet build!

Love e*thirteen of late!  So doing most of the drivetrain and cockpit in their stuff.  And I'm doing these 'short' for fewer strikes, hopefully.

I've been looking to use Goodyear rubber for some time.  This is the perfect time as it just happens to match what I'm doing for the color of the bike: all black with bits of white.

Loving my DVO Beryl led to this 180mm beast!  One of the best long travel out there.

I put effort into all my builds aside from JUST the build.  Little things.  Like these headset spacers.  A mix of carbon and BoxOne...very cool!
