THE DESERT & THE MACHINE
Frankie’s journey is etched into the limestone and caliche of the Sonoran landscape. Living in Tucson isn’t just a location—it’s a commitment to the heat, the elevation, and the raw grit of the trails. From the jagged climbs of Mt. Lemmon to the dusty single-track of the 50-Year Trail, every mile is a study in precision and resilience. Frankie combines high-performance MTB engineering with an artisanal respect for the outdoors, curating a lifestyle where the bike is an extension of the soul and the desert is the ultimate testing ground.
