Howdy.

We are a small, and insignificant bicycle manufacturer based in the damp, and generally miserable climate of Portland, Oregon. We sustain ourselves during the winter months with potatoes, canned tuna, and a home made alcohol brewed in a sink widely known to prisoners as "Pruno." We call it "Tonic" around the shop. Considering our lot in life, we favored the name "Dicken's Fabrication" but found it taken. Pruno Fabriation would have made sense too, although we consider bikes our primary business, not un-taxed alcohol, yet. Of course we compromised...and Tonic Fabrication was born. The spirit of compromise runs rampant through our bikes. See for yourself.

The Fall Guy

Wise riders will immediately notice another feeble attempt to copy what the real innovators where doing 3 years ago. Basically a watered down version something you could buy for less elsewhere. But we made it ourselves! A sloppy rendering of a bad idea...what were we thinking?

Fall Guy

Bullit Augmentation Device

Voted "Worst Product" at Interbike. Even exhibitors in the Chinese Trinket Pavillion were shaking their heads.

very nice frames.

isn't pruno another name for liver failure? Wonder bread, canned fruit, and toilet water mixed in a garbage bag.... give it some time to marinate, then strain it through bed sheets?
Taaka Vodka will do the trick, it tastes better (argueable) and is a lot less work.

Well, whatever you choose to drink I want to complement you on your bikes! I'd love to roll around on the green hard tail.. (fall guy?), but I already have a nice bike.

keep up the good work,
and seriously, reconsider this whole pruno obsession.
