Team

Josh Steele

Owner, Builder, Mechanic

At age 11, Josh moved to Southern Vermont from the Midwest with his family. In 2012 he met Chris John and the two quickly bonded over their love of two wheeled vehicles. Soon afterwards he decided to start a small bike shop out of the garage at his house. After three years as a hobby, the shop moved into its current location and they slowly increased their dedication and commitment to transforming it into what it is today: a full-time, year-round motorcycle repair and custom build shop. Josh and his partner Sarah live in their small house with two dogs, two ducks and various chickens.

Caleb Matthiesen

Partner & Admin

Caleb was born outside of Boston and, like Josh, moved to Brattleboro at age 11 with his family. Caleb and Josh met in 7th grade science class and quickly became best friends. Caleb attended the University of Washington in Seattle and graduated with degrees in physics and astronomy. Although he maintains a full time gig as a software developer, Caleb helps with bike builds, upholstery, administrative work for the shop, plus whatever else he can get his hands on.
