Bushnell Cycle Design - Builder Profile
Meet Dennis and Jenny Bushnell (and their grand doggy Toby).
Dennis and Jenny have been building tandem and bicycle frames in the
Seattle area for nearly four decades now. Aside from building
tandems, Dennis and Jenny are avid tandem riders. Toby keeps the
Seattle rats under control.
We have been building with S&S couplings since the mid 1990's, and
have had nothing but great experiences with them.
Some noteworthy accomplishments include:
- The Bushnells have built bicycle and tandem frames for many
prominent manufacturers through the years.
- Dennis had the privelige of building some of the bicycles for the
1984 U.S. Olympic team.
- In 1986, Dennis built the world's first carbon fiber tandems in
conjunction with the Easton aluminum company. Lon Haldeman and Pete
Penseyres then used those tandems to set a record for riding across
the United States.
- The Bushnells built the first Aermet ultra-light steel tandems
(frame weights at sub 7lbs.).
- Dennis built the first Scandium aluminum tandems (frame weights
at sub 7lbs.).
- The 140 gram Bushnell
eccentric has quickly become a favorite for high-end tandem
builders as well as single speed builders. The Bushnell
eccentric is now distributed world wide.
