Who Designed this Killer Website?

My Thoughts On This Design
I don’t know how to start this off because the entire site is amazing. I like how simple the greys are and spacing used for each module and separation. I like the typography used in the logo and I like how it is big. I also like the icons used in the navigation. Keeps it fresh and simple.
I would have to say, as I analyze the design that the design should center around the navigation and logo. The navigation is amazing in my opinion, with the hover state being the bar of color that appears. I feel that there is a slight disconnect between the body and navigation / brand. As I look, I do see that the sight is simple, but it could have incorporated more elements similar to the navigation.
Along with it’s simplicity in design, I think that the body could have been designed in a way to where it doesn’t look so text heavy. Eliminating one of three of the bikes (leaving two) with the same amount of text in each but widening the area (stretching out the text, if you will) might add more of a separation to the body. If you notice, “More >” practically touches the “5″ in the paragraph in the “Chim Chim” bike section.
I guess it seems so black and white.
Skylar Hartman,
Website:I love the site! Stumbled across your site in search of the designer. … after a bit more searching I found here that these guys actually started the business themselves (aka – probably designed it after hours in house). But it’s not on their portfolio. Not 100% sure. Thought I’d post & let you know though.
