Background

The original Terrible One, or T1, team was Joseph North Rich (now also known as "The Ultimate Male"), Taj Mihelich, Paul Buchanan and Robbie Morales.

When Morales left to create Fit Bike C., he took the Progression design with him.

For 2005 T1 introduced a new double-diamond frame for Garrett Byrnes and incorporated an integrated headset for all their frames. In 2007 it made the 5-a-day, a lightweight street frame used by Danny Hickerson and Joel Moody. T1 also made a refined Garrett Byrnes frame in 2007, the S.F.A.
