Kent Eriksen Launches New Company
By: Karl Rosengarth
 Moots Cycles founder Kent Eriksen is a pioneer when it comes to mountain bike frame building. Eriksen has over 30 years of experience building custom bikes, and in 1996 he was inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame. Kent recently decided to leave Moots and start a new company, Kent Eriksen Cycles. The company will produce a signature line of bicycles designed and manufactured to the individual needs of customers. Kent is starting over where it all began, back in the historic Sore Saddle building in downtown Steamboat Springs, CO.
Eriksen looks forward to working closely with his clients. "Getting back to the customer," is how Kent Eriksen describes his motivation to leave Moots Cycles and start his new venture. "Our customers are looking for individual attention. We work one-on-one to build their ideal bikes. It's really just like when I started out in the late '70s."
Kent Eriksen Cycles sells direct and through authorized dealers. "We encourage people to stop in when visiting the area to see first hand our craftsmanship and shop." For those not able to visit, Kent uses the internet to communicate, send pictures and give the feel of being there.
Eriksen builds all of his road, cross, triathlon, mountain and 29"-wheeled mountain frames using titanium from the United States. For more information contact Kent Eriksen Cycles at 970.879.8484 or click on www.kenteriksen.com.
