The Builder

Being female, Margo Conover is unfortunately a rarity in the world of professional bicycle frame building.... but fortunately she has decided to make custom bicycles exclusively for women!

Margo's experience in cycling includes 7 years of elite-level road racing and 5 years as a bike shop owner. She is a professional frame builder, bike mechanic, wheel builder, bike fit expert, and former instructor at the United Bicycle Institute in Ashland, Oregon. She has been making custom bicycles since 1995. Her experience racing bikes, repairing them, selling them, and educating others makes her the ideal person to design and craft custom frames and bicycles for serious women cyclists.

Luna bicycle frames are made one at a time by Margo in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is assisted and kept sane by--and trips frequently over--the ever underfoot Sweetpea.

For a recent interview with Margo in the Santa Fe New Mexican from October 2004, click here.

For an old but interesting interview with Margo, from Bicycle Guide Magazine in 1996 (and a lot has changed since then!), please click here.

Here is a February 2005 article PedalPushers Online asked Margo to write regarding the need for women's specific gear in the cycling industry.

A review of the Luna Orbit cyclocross bike in Bicycling Magazine can be read here.
