Bike Check: Logan’s Weis Hammer Track
You might already know Logan from Weis, as I’ve mentioned him before here on SSS. Logan handles everything at Weis that involves making your frame pretty: paint, anodizing, cerakote, decals, and more. Basically, if you want your Weis bike to be truly your own, he’s the one to make it happen. So today, we’re taking a closer look at his custom Hammer Track.
This steel Hammer Track features a custom geometry at 54.5 cm and has been Logan’s daily ride for a few years. For this trip to Paris, he decided to give it a fresh coat of paint inspired by the textures you’ll find on a poison frog, but with a twist that nods to his New Orleans roots. The result is a vibrant base for a simple, reliable build, the kind we love to see here on SSS.
For the peripherals we have a full Nitto cockpit with V-Strong grips, and at the back, you’ll find a Nitto seatpost, and a Selle Italia SLR saddle. The drivetrain is fully Japanese: Sugino 75 cranks paired with a 49T Zen chainring and a 17T Euro Asia cog. Can’t argue with that combo, simple and efficient.
Wheels are also a classic: Profile Track hubs laced to Hed Belgium rims, wrapped in 28c Gatorskin tires. One interesting detail Logan shared is his decision to preserve, the history of this frame. After a car accident left a dent, he simply sprayed over it rather than smoothing it out, calling himself a “Bondo hater”, and you know… I get that! For him, it’s a reminder to stay safe out there, and to everyone else, it's proof that this thing is being ridden.

There are other fun touches, too. A custom sticker tucked into the chainstays nods to his personal music taste: “Bad Brains is the best band, and I Against I is the best album, so it just made sense to make a little something for myself.” Another Easter egg is that the new Weis logo comes in two variants. While customer bikes usually feature a peace sign, staff bikes swap out to a single finger, a small detail I’m absolutely a fan of.
As I’ve now been working with Weis for over a year, and with Logan as my main contact there, I’ve become genuinely admiring of his talent. I really enjoy seeing how his art and technique continue to evolve over time. You can follow Logan’s work here ➡️ @logansholmire
