Item Description

Tyler had a a brand new custom Primus Mootry Tenbosse-X built for some recreational cyclo-cross, but do to the many blizzards in Colorado and his Tinkoff Team training schedule, he did not get a chance to ride it before heading over to Europe for the 2007 season. We just couldn't see letting this amazing bike go to waste so make a bid and take it home.  Maybe you can get close to beating the Belgians like Jonathan Page did at the World Championships!   Katie Compton rode a Primus Mootry to a Silver Medal at the 2007 CycloCross World Championships.

About Primus Mootry

Primus Mootry Bicycles started in 1993 as a hobby. I had a desire to build the finest bicycle frames around. Over the years, I realized that there are many talented builders around. I quickly focused on matching my new passion for frame building with my other passion: racing. From that point on, each Primus Mootry frame has been built to acheive one goal: to reach the finish line first.

All of our frames are hand-built, with great attention to detail. This is easy to see from the outside. But it's our knowledge of racing and experimenting with new technologies that makes our frames different. Primus Mootry frames have been raced over the toughest roads, trails and courses around. Every new Primus Mootry frame has a bit of heritage taken from those who already own and enjoy (not to mention ride the rubber off) their old Primus Mootrys.

I learned how to build frames using my hands, with nothing more than a hacksaw, hand files and a torch. Today, all cutting, welding and finishing of each frame is still done by hand.  The time it takes to build a frame is coupled with the unmatched personal attention. Each frame has been personally cared for, from design to delivery.

The collaboration between Primus Mootry and Tyler Hamilton was an obvious one because both Joe and Tyler are dedicated to reaching the finish line first.
