prototype The Superb Vivace pre-order is starting off well. Remember you have through February 25th to get in your pre-order to save $100 and get some extra color choices! If you have any questions about the Vivace or need help choosing the correct size feel free to give us a call at the shop or shoot us an email.
Over the past week or so we’ve been getting a lot of calls for Bianchi‘s Super Pista framesets.
Internet, we’re here to tell you yes, we still have them, in all colors and many different sizes. Want a little more than just a bay window shot of all of our frameset colors? Well, here are two of our favorite custom builds to get your inspiration going:
Celeste Super Pista
Blue and White Super Pista
Justin is a superintendent at an apartment complex up on Commonwealth Avenue. He’s been coming into the shop for the past two years and finally built up his Cinelli Mash frame last year.
“I have to drive my car for work but cycling has become a release. I love just riding around by myself for hours and blowing off steam. I don’t really know many people in the ‘cycling scene’ so to speak, so I tend to do most of my rides by myself. We have a pretty good mix of hills and flat terrain if that makes sense, it makes riding around more dynamic and fun.”
How he got involved in cycling:
” I moved to the city three years ago and my brother built up a 58 cm (way way way too big) bicycle with a coaster break for me, and told me to ride it. I didn’t have a car so it was my only means of transportation. Two weeks later I switched to fixed and I’ve been riding a fixed gear ever since.”
Advice to everyone who is just getting into riding:
“Hey, new cyclists: don’t cheap out on f-ing parts, ever. You might think you’re saving money and it’s smart but it’s not going to. If you’re going to build up a bike take your time, ride a beater around/loan a bike from a friend until you’ve got enough dough to just go out to the nines. Just do it.”
Justin is completely and totally off of the cyber radar. So if you see him around (usually riding as fast as he can up and down Commonwealth Avenue) just say hi!!
We just finished this Igleheart track build for our good palJesse . This is one of the few remaining frames we had Chris Igleheart build for the shop a few years ago and Jesse choose it for it’s lightweight and clean looks. The build is filled out with Campy Record hubs to torelli rims, Campy Record Headset, Nitto Jaguar stem, Nitto Risers, and IRD cranks.
All we have to say is: lovely.
Here are a few more photos from the shoot the other day of the Superb Sprint Matte Black Build. I’m so stoked on how this one turned out!
