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.
