About Me

My photo
Back in my hometown of Jonesboro., Arkansas, United States
My name is Dimitri Harris and I have been building frames for over 9 years now. I learned the basics after spending two weeks with Koichi Yamaguchi. He is one of the most interesting people I have ever met and I am thankful to have worked with him. Since then I have just been building one frame after another and learning as much as possible along the way. I build steel fillet-brazed frames that go by the name of MEECH, which is an old nickname that I have had since I was a kid. I build mostly cyclocross frames because I love their versatility however I also do road,single-speed, and mountain bikes as well. Custom frames start around $1400. All the frames are handmade by me here in Jonesboro, Arkansas. I am insured and guarantee all of my work so if you are in the market for a custom steel frame I would be glad to build it for you. I am also building frames from carbon fiber so if you would like to ride a prototype frame give me a shout. Thanks for stopping by. You can email me at meech151@hotmail.com or call (870)897-6703 or visit www.meechcustombicycles.com Thanks.

Solid Steel

All MEECH frames are fillet-brazed steel with a 20 year warranty. I build mostly cyclocross frames however also do road and track as well. Custom frame sets start around $850.

Cheap Labor


This is Louie the part-time frame building cat. He doesn't actually build the frames, I do, but he is in charge of straightening them. I may have to garnish his wages though because he spends half the time up in some tree and the other half he just kills spiders and brings lizards in and chews off the tail. He loves it the way the lizards' tail keeps moving after he has separated it from the body, its like two toys in one. He'll attack the lizard for a while and then attack the tail, poor lizards.

Not long after we moved to our new location Louie took a bullet in the shoulder. Yes, believe it or not someone shot Louie with a pellet gun. He took it like a man though. He pulled the pellet out with his teeth and spit it back at the guy that shot him, and said, "Nes time you pool dat piece on me, I take your piece away fro you and put it up your culo, and pool de treeger till it go click. Cuz nobody f#*k wit da Jesus!" You sayd it main. It might have been a lizard-man that shot him. Hey, if your gonna work with steel you have to be tough. Peace!

Cavendish's TT machine (Time Travel?)



YOWSA! Imagine going back in time before the bicycle was invented and screaming through the streets on this thing, or go riding up beside Einstein when he is out for a stroll. Super chulo!
Man, I wish cigarettes weren't bad for you, i could use a pack right now, I would settle for one.

MEECH 3fana Road Bike


I built this frame off of the geometry from a Scott CR1 that I road for a couple years. I didn't paint it because I wanted the fillets to show through, truthfully the fillets could have been better but it is one of my earlier frames and I wanted to ride it more than sand and clean fillets you know. Frame weighs 3.5 lbs and with fork it is a mere 5 lbs. It is a size 58. It rides alot like the CR1, which even though the geometry is the same I thought there would be a huge difference since one is carbon and one is steel but they feel similar going over bumps.

Gonna Jump 13 Garbage Cans

All we do is dance and scream and build bicycles all day long. Our bikes race faster than our minds, and our bodies convulse to rhythmic ceremonial rituals that scare old people while enticing the young. All I know is that I'm alive today and I hope that I am tomorrow. Welcome to the Steel Garden, where we eat carbon for breakfast and use titanium for toothpicks. :)

This is absurd, insanity, these people are crazy. Not even the fish are up yet. I want to but is it the smart thing to do.
