We have an amazing Vintage Fat Chance Race Bike for sale in the shop. This one of a kind bike was built custom for Heidi back in 1990. Heidi was on the Fat City Race team and is also the founder of NEMBA. WOW!! She decided it is time to let this one move on, so now is your chance to own a piece of cycling history! This beautiful Somerville, MA built bike comes with a full prototype Campagnolo Mountain groupo. This was before Campy ever released their short lived Euclid Mountain Group and would be a great investment in itself. Add to that all the small custom details to this bike, like the snake wrapping around the brake noodle on the stem and the many dinosaur logos and you have yourself one very awesome collectors item! The frame measures 17″ center to top on the seat tube and 21.75″ top tube effective. We are asking $2000 but will consider all offers.
About 3 years ago while I was managing Cambridge Bicycle (before we opened Superb) I had an idea for a fixed gear bike that completely glowed in the dark. With the help of Marty from Geekhouse we made it happen, and it turned out pretty cool. Now 3 years later our phone is ringing off the hook because of this new cell phone commercial with glow in the dark bikes in it and everyone wants one! Well you are all in luck! We can build custom Glow in the Dark bikes similar to the one we built before. Starting price is about $1600 if you stick with basic components and turn around time is 1-2 months. These bikes will have glow in the dark frames, rims, and handlebar and are sure to turn a few heads. Now for the disclaimer. The bikes featured in the video are surely edited in some computer software to look super bright and in the real world, like most things that glow in the dark, after being charged by light they only glow for a little while. Also prolonged exposure to direct sunlight seems to turn the yellow glow in the dark finish a little bit green. However I had a U-lock coated in glow in the dark 3 years ago at the same time and it still works! So if you are still interested in a Glow in the Dark bike, shoot us an email with what you are looking for and we can start the process!
Earlier this summer we posted a few times about Superb Project X. Well that project has finally resulted in a finished Prototype. We believe all of the hard work we put into designing this frame was totally worth it after seeing the result. The Superb Vivace is made from Columbus Chromoly steel tubing utilizing elegant lugged construction. We had the entire frame and fork chrome plated for decades of rust free use and then painted over. We named this model “Vivace” after the lively and quick tempo in music, which we feel is one of the most important characteristics in a Track Frame . The Flat fork crown and rear drop outs are engraved on both sides with the Superb “S” logo and the rear bridge is engraved with the model name Vivace. As a true track frame expect very steep geometry and tight clearances. We will be putting this prototype through its paces and making any necessary tweaks in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for more updates and info.
