Nothing says Summer/Spring bummer like carrying a variety of items on your back while on a longer ride.
This is where the Brooks Millbrook and Glenbrook Holdalls come along.
You may venture the question, “how much do these Holdalls carry?” Well, we thought we’d give you a demonstration with Tom’s Geekhouse and a custom Surly we have on consignment.
Here’s the Geekhouse modeling the larger Glenbrook.
At 380 x 160 x 180 mms in faux leather with vinyl lining, and vegetable tanned leather trimmings.
One windbreaker, a pair of Mavic shoes, a tube, hand pump, tire levers with a little bit of wiggle room left over.
3RRR Custom Surly 8 speed rocking a Brooks Millbrook.
Brooks Holdall on a Brooks saddle. 200 x 150 x 160 mm. Faux leather with authentic leather trimmings.
What can THIS bag hold?
..flat fix kit, Chrome hoodie, and a Boston bicycle map!
A great Spring accessory. Stop by the shop and check it out!!
Wei Wei has been slightly upgrading her Linus Dutchi ever since she purchased it last year and she finally has it to the point where she allowed me to photograph it. She really dialed it in and all the changes really tie the bike together into a super classy commuter. The Hammered fenders are made by Velo Orange and look great on almost everything. Her boyfriend Justin who is a woodworker built her the custom crate for the back so she doesn’t have to sling her bag over her shoulder. The stitch on leather grips are a small addition that still makes a big impact on the elegance of the bike. Classic Lights made by Soma make it safe to ride at night while looking great at the same time. The Brooks B67s is the perfect saddle for an upright bike like this and Wei Wei says it makes the bike so comfortable to ride making it her go to bike on most days. We stock the Dutchi and all these accessories at Superb so if this looks like a great city ride to you, stop on by and we can talk about all the options. We are expecting a large re-stock of Linus Bikes in early April to fill in any models that we are currently sold out of.
Nao from 3RRR and Tomii Cycles brought in this great city bike to sell on consignment. He built it up for his wife but it ended up not being small enough (even though it is a 45cm) so he is going to be building her a custom frame instead. He put a lot of great details on this bike and it would make someone a wonderful commuter or around town bike. Asking price is $1200, much less than he has in the bike and it is in basically like new condition. Should fit some one who is between 4’11″ and 5’5″. Stop by the shop to check it out.

We had already gotten our shipment of the 2012 Fuji line up in, but somehow the white ones had slipped by us till now! From an all black color scheme now to an all white color scheme. I don’t know if Fuji knows that they are creating a “good vs. evil” or a “dark vs. light” theme here, but we like it. The 2012 Fuji Feather in white has the same specifications as the black ones in our previous post. We have to admit that the white ones are always a little harder to come by so if you are feeling extra “good” today, you better fly down fast.
Were getting bombarded with the new 2012 line up! The new 2012 SE Lagers have arrived this year in Gold. SE has put some nice touches on the new Lager with a cut out chain ring and gold risers reminiscent of BMXs since that’s where their roots first began. The Lager is great for those looking for a more causal ride. With a relaxed geometry and riser bars, the Lager has a less aggressive and more comfortable ride. Equip with brakes, freewheel and cog this is a great bicycle for someone who is getting back into riding or looking to go fixed.
