Hand‑Carved Black Locust Top Caps — Salvaged From the Minto Trails
Bring a piece of the trail to your handlebars!
Each top cap starts as black locust wood salvaged during trail‑building on the Minto Mountain Bike Trail System — one of the hardest, most durable woods in North America.
Natural cracks in wood are repaired with hand‑laid copper inlay, turning every flaw into a feature.
Natural beeswax finish for a warm, polished feel
Insane grain patterns — every cap tells its own story
Custom‑cut and polished bolt to match the wood and copper
No lathe, no mass production — each one is hand‑carved, one by one
No two are alike
These aren’t just top caps — they’re functional trail art.
Todd is producing and selling this limited batch to help raise funds for his cross‑Canada bike ride and to bring more awareness to the Minto Trail System and the work that goes into keeping it alive.
If you want something unique, meaningful, and built from the very trails we ride, this is it.
