David
David has been building titanium bicycle frames for many years. It would not be an overstatement to say the he has built more titanium bicycle frames than anyone else in the US and probably the world. David was the plant manager and chief frame builder for the vast majority of his time at a major group of American bicycle brands. In the summer of 2008 David decided to leave the company that he was working for and it didn’t take him long to start to miss building bikes. In November of ’08 he opened PRIDE Cycles. David builds each PRIDE frame by hand and that means that each frame has an unmatched amount of knowledge going into each step of the frame building process.
Jimmy
Jimmy, David’s oldest son, started working for the company that David previously worked for right out of high school. He was a collegiate downhill MTB racer. When he was just a little fellow he was often seen roaming around the plant, watching the frame builders at their craft. At PRIDE, Jimmy helps in the frame building and also keeps the website up, does some graphic design, some marketing work, and does the preliminary miniature drawing of each frame before David makes the full scale hand drawn print.
Josie
Josie is the welder at PRIDE. Over the years David noticed that the best welders were female. They have steadier hands. Josie also worked at the other company and upon finding out she left there, PRIDE had to get her to start welding our frames. She is an incredibly talented welder and she loves her trade. Josie has been featured in Welding Journal and Popular Mechanics.
