For whatever the trail holds
Designed with purpose from experience
Secret Squirrel
$1400 + anodizing charge
A sneaky fast trail bike made for steep terrain.
Pros: Incredibly good descending, incredibly good climbing, carries snacks.
Con’s: Body position isn’t optimized for flatter terrain*, look at the Sleeper for that.
*The steep seat tube angle puts too much weight on your hands on extended flatter rides.
Plein Air
$1400 + anodizing charge
A gravel bike, ready for anything. Named after outdoor painting because I believe a big part of this style of riding is about observing the world creatively over the course of a few thousand hours of saddle time.
Sleeper
$1400 + anodizing charge
A Cross Country Mtb. designed for local laps and crossing countries. Includes an upper-frame bag. This is the bike you want for covering ground efficiently.
*I got tired of having fancy bikepacking equipment that felt bulky and cumbersome for daily rides.
A partial frame bag gives you room to bring your essentials + a little extra while still retaining the ability to use standard bottles. When you want a full bikepacking setup the crew at Rockgeist are ready to make you a supplementary bag.
Custom

Where are they made?
Steel frames, prototypes, and all handlebars are made by me in Asheville, NC.
Titanium frames are made by expert titanium fabricators to my exact specifications in China.
Made to be ridden
Design Principles
Stability
A long wheelbase gives you confidence to ride faster over difficult terrain.
Durability
While the frames aren’t heavy, tubing thickness was chosen to help your bike last a lifetime.
Posture
The steep seat tube angle puts you in a position of strength and comfort.
Storage
Carrying supplies on your back sucks your energy. High quality Rockgeist frame bags carry everything you need.
Balance
Most bikes have an extreme rearward weight bias, Haile bikes restore balance. Helping you keep traction in difficult terrain.
Versatility
Sliding dropouts add the option of making your bike a single speed; for fun, or to get out of the woods.
