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.

Latest Frame

Finally got something finished up to post. As simple as this paint scheme looks it took me a while to get it right. I can be pretty picky at time, especially when my name is on something. I don't think I can ever say I'm completely satisfied but at some point you just have to lay it down and let it be. After all, it was built to be ridden, not looked at. But I like looking at them. This is more of an older, traditional style frameset but I tried to give it more of a modern twist, or maybe just a MEECH twist. It's funny, I was really excited to start building this frame, it started with the fork, and then I've worked on it so long that the excitement had worn off. But the other day while I was shooting these pictures and really looking at the bike I became excited again and thought, "I want to ride this bike." Then I realized that it's not my size and immediately got bummed out. So then of course my reaction was, "Now I have to build one for me."


I wasn't the first one to use these colors of course.




Remember this fork? I know it's been a while. This is a 30c Kenda Kwik tire fitted up under a standard Campy road caliper. It's always nice to have a little extra space if you need it. This bike will make a great winter training bike.


No head badge yet but they're on the way.

Not sure where this idea came from, the ideas just come and I have to do them or I can't rest and move on to the next one. Kinda like the Lords of Dogtown frame or the Frankenstrat frame.


I used to run this number on one of my mx bikes years ago. Novice class of course.

My good friend Lance rolling his MEECH through the Vegas desert. Beautiful photo Lance. Makes me wish I was with you guys.

Here is a pic of the frame Lance has been rolling on for the last handful of years.
Thanks for stopping by!

    The colors remind me of Steve McQueens Porsche that he raced at LeMans. They are still running the same colors on the Gulf Porsche. But then again, down here in Austin they would call that burnt orange. Good Job! PS Is it fast?
