Everyone loathes having to wear a helmet, especially us ladies. Bern has been a god sent to most of us that want a non “team extreme” style helmet. But the Lazer Amour helmet is a great option for those that want a good in between. The Amour helmet has the look of a Bern Helmet, but the light weight of a traditional road helmet. They also come with a dust bag which can come in handy when your driving to the mountain or flying on a plane. We have them in stock in both matte black, black, and matte white. They come in small, medium, and large to accommodate all your head sizes.
We are always trying to keep it classy here at Superb, after all we are a Brooks Dealer of Excellence. Brooks has just recently launched their slender grips. This is a great option for people who are looking for the Brooks class, but want something less bulky. The best part about these guys is that the leather grip tape can be swapped out of the grip cartridge for different colors. We also have the classic Brooks handlebar tape in their harder to find colors, green and white. For those super commuters, we brought in the Brooks Trouser Straps. They are great since they work on the same principle as a snap bracelets, like the ones that you got confiscated from you in 4th grade, covered in fine genuine leather. And last but not least is the Brooks Wheel Kit containing 3 tire levers, which is more than enough to get any pesky tire off, and a double sided spoke wrench. Come by and check out the Brooks goodies. Any of these items are a great way to compliment any existing Brooks saddle. 
We almost forgot to add this event to our calender for this week! The Boston Bike Messenger Association (BBMA) is throwing a criterium as a benefit to send Boston messengers to compete in the North American Cycle Courier Championships (NACCC) in Richmond, VA this year. It is $10 race entry fee and there will be t-shirts for sale. The race will be a figure 8 criterium, Australian style. For those that don’t know what an Australian criterium is then you’ll just have to see for yourself. The race will be on a set course in Winthrop Sq. Downtown Boston starting at 9:30pm this Friday May 18th. Come out to watch, race, or just support your local bike messengers!
Our Superb Sprints have been getting a warm reception. Yet again we have another one of our babies being snapped up by you guys! Billy went with the classic finish, good old polished aluminum. Pretty soon Billy will be joing the ever growing Sprint crew in Boston. We’ll have to start inventing a special wave of some sort… This bad boy is going to be raised as a single speed commuter, equipped with a Sram Omnium crank set, Campagnolo Veloce brake set, Chris King headset, Velocity Aero Wheel set, and Hold Fast straps on platform pedals. Remember that if you can dream it, we can build it. Doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a track bike, single speed, 3 speed, road bike etc., stop in an let us help you find or build the right bike.
