Pacenti Cycle Design

From ExtremeWiki

Bike designer Kirk Pacenti founded Pacenti Cycle Design for the sole purpose of supplying and offering support to the artisans who build quality hand-crafted bicycle frames. He provides particular dedication to lugged steel construction but is expanding his product offerings to include all materials and construction techniques including the new 650B wheel bike.

Dirt Rag TV: Kirk Pacenti of Pacenti Cycle Design
Kirk Pacenti of Pacenti Cycle Design has been a long-time proponent of 29" wheels for mountain bikes, but he now believes that the "tweener" 650B is the MTB wheel size of the future. And he's putting his money where his mouth is. A Pacenti-designed and branded Panaracer-made 650B mountain tire is currently available. He even built Dirt Rag a 650B mountain bike to test the theory. In our video interview from Interbike 2007, Kirk explains the advantages of 650B, and tell us that a host of bicycle industry players, both large and small, are jumping on the 650B bandwagon.
