When we started building bicycles in Taradell, more than eight years ago, we had no plan to tell anyone about it. There was the workshop, the suppliers, the first customers, and not much else. The work spoke for itself.
Over time, though, we kept running into the same question again and again: "How is a PYRMON bike made?". The long answer is complicated — it means understanding raw carbon, moulds, welds, paint and a pile of hours that nobody sees. The short answer never quite does it justice.
What you'll find here
This logbook is our attempt to make the long answer digestible. We'll publish short articles, often illustrated with workshop photos, about:
- Build work. How we build a frame, what tools we use, what we learn with each new bike.
- Rides. Real-world tests in the Pyrenees, on the Montseny, on the Collsacabra trails. What works and what doesn't.
- History and territory. Why PYRMON, why Taradell, why Catalan mountains in the model names.
- Technical. Geometry, components, design decisions — for anyone who wants the detail.
It won't be a daily diary. We'll publish when we have something to tell, not to fill space. If you'd like the articles by email, we send them with the PYRMON newsletter — no noise.
Why "Logbook"
A logbook is a ship's record. It was also used, years ago, on high-mountain expeditions: each night, the climber wrote down what had happened that day, what had worked, what had gone wrong.
It felt like the right image. We're a small brand, we make specific things, and every now and then they're worth writing down. This is where we'll do it.
Thanks for being here. See you in the next articles.
