It’s just like Mardi Gras! says our customer from the “Witness Protection Program”.  He was talking about his new art bike that we had built-out with lots of white componentry.  The frameset is a Futura, one of  33 produced in 2008.

RALEIGH RECORD ACE: Great comfort and handling suitable for those longer rides.

Brooks Swallow comes along for the ride on all these bikes!

Ultegra 6700 Drivetrain for positive and accurate response

Steel Lugs add to that classic look.

Come into the shop for a test ride.  Maybe this could be part of your New Year’s resolution!

We hope you can make it down to the shop to take a peek at such a fine bicycle! Maybe a loved one will find it under the Christmas tree!

“American Cyclery. A bike shop that’s been around for decades. They have lots of cool antique bike stuff, but they also have great new bikes and bike parts.” Thanks Nate, we appreciate your praise and thanks to Google for letting everyone know about it.

So in this honor, we’ll leave you with a video of one of our favorite Decemberists songs, “The Sporting Life”. Although not about cycling, I can easily interpret this song’s emotions through the heart of the perpetual Domestique.

That’s Right, as of today we have a size run of the MASH/Cinelli collaboration Vigorelli track frame sets. Oh, snap!

These beauties have one of the best paint schemes I’ve seen, very Film Noir all gray tone.

So hurry up and mash up here and pick one up while they last, $875 and this gem is yours.

I did a pully replacement the other day for a customer’s pristine Medici, and it got me to thinking about how much of a frustration it was not having these lovely jockey wheels in the past.

Neuvo and Super Record derailleurs are built to last, but pulley wear is a fact of life. Thanks to these modestly priced little gems, the mechanics of the world can keep classic bikes running like they oughta.

It’s the simple things really…

Belgian children had it so good. French children on the other hand enjoyed an entire selection of Bibendums to play with. Way better than a Doughboy.

Find your current saddle lacking in lumbar support? Feeling a bit of drag off the backside?

I’ve been told Selle Italia’s revolutionary Appoggio Lombare was banned from competition use as an unfair advantage. Apparently opposing teams would erupt into fits of laughter and thus lose time.

Despite floating around in the ocean for 13 years, they washed up on shore in great shape.

We have Monster Paws and Dirt Paws in all three primary colors and black in stock. Price is yet to be determined as we are still waiting for the invoice to wash up…
