Even seven-month-old babies can appreciate the beauty of a cutsom frame and custom paint job. We all enjoyed looking at this custom 29-er Indpendent Fabrication mountain bike, built for OU alumna Jennifer Dean. She will be enjoying this magnificent bicycle on trails that will allow it to truly shine: the rocky, technical ridges and mountains of Rothrock State Forest in State College, Pa. I can think of no better combination of bike and trail than a steel IF and Rothrock. Those are ingredients for a perfect mountain bike ride.
