We finished up Luke’s Superb Sprint Custom Build and despite the grey sky, shot some photos of the finished result. Came out pretty good, reminds me of a penquin. Parts run down. 51cm Sprint Frame, Velocity B43′s laced to Superb Hubs, EAI Cranks and BB, Thomson stem, Cinelli Pepper Bars.
Before Superb Bicycle there was Boston Bicycle… It’s been over a year since we’ve renovated and forgot that at one point we didn’t have chandeliers. To remind us of our roots, Adult Swim has posted up an episode of Assy Mcgee called “Bikes for Bombs” featuring Boston Bicycle back in the day. You can view the episode here. At 3:52 into the episode you can see a shot of the shop slightly redrawn and renamed “Radical Bike” for copyright purposes I’m sure. They have the rooftop fire escape, fire hydrant and even the crooked fire alarm post down in their exact locations! Comparing the cartoon version, Boston Bicycle, and Superb Bicycle it really takes us back!
Assy Mcgee’s version of Boston Bicycle, “Radical Bike”.
Old: Boston Bicycle.
Current: Superb Bicycle.
If you guys have the time, I would also sit down and watch the whole episode. It’s pretty damn funny even for non cycling enthusiast and also features an Eddy Merckx in the shop that’s accurately drawn. John Prolly did a post on it comparing it with a real Eddy Merckx a while ago.
Jef finally showed up to pick up his prizes from the Hot Bike Contest and we captured the moment in front of the fitting room. Great job!
Head over to Pedal Strike for her Party Report and check out the 50 or so Photos she snapped at the Celebration. Also I want to send out a special thanks to Kaiko from Pedal Strike and Cassette for helping to Sponsor our event!
Thanks to everyone who came out last night and helped make our Grand Opening a huge success. We are sincerely sorry that our night was cut a little short, but we have decided on the fairest way to get everyone the prizes that they deserve from the raffle, and Hot Bike Contest. There are 42 Prizes left, so we picked out 42 more tickets which are listed below. We pulled one more ticket to determine the winner of the Fuji Feather. Luckily the judges got us their choices for the Hot Bike Contest and the results are below. Stop by the shop to claim your prize, and if you are a winner of the Hot Bike Contest please bring the winning bicycle for a special Photo Op. The Raffle Prizes will be first come first serve, so get here quickly (WITH YOUR TICKET) to get the best prizes. Sorry we could not distribute them as planned, but we think this is the fairest way to divvy them up due to the circumstances. If the winners of the prizes haven’t claimed them or notified the shop within one week, we will pick more tickets for the remaining prizes.
