prototype As promised we just opened up the pre-order on the Superb Vivace Framesets. We made a few tweaks to the prototype and are ready to start production after a short pre-order period. We decided to go with a higher end tubeset in the form of Italian Columbus Zona, but kept the retail price under $1000. All pre-orders get an introductory price of $899, with the standard retail price being $999. $300 down secures you a frame in your size and color choice. The frame will be available in 3 different colors, but we are offering a choice of 8 different colors to pre-orders only. Act soon, pre-orders end Feb 25th. Check out more information on the pre-order page, and the mocked up color options below.
Racing Red
Outer Space Black
Arctic Blue
Deep Forest Green
Vintage Orange
Sea Green
Midnight Blue
Superb Purple
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!!
Heads up guys! Nitto has sent out a recall on all their B259AA model aluminum riser bars due to safety hazards. They can break on you! For those unlucky ones that have had them break on you, if you still have the broken pieces you can send them back to Euro Asia Imports for a new pair as well. So double check your handlebars and make sure if you have a pair to call Euro Asia Imports and get them replaced ASAP! Here’s a link to more information on Euro Asia Import’s site. Ride safe!
Winter is the season of projects. Tom’s been looking to repaint his Geekhouse cross bike for quite. Some. Time.
Tom likes military colors. This is his army bicycle.
Yes, this bike literally color coordinates with a vintage Dutch military coat. Like a boss.
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.
