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!!
We just finished up Holden’s Custom Geekhouse Road Bike. Holden ordered the frameset through us a little while back and after the frame was finished over at Geekhouse, Tom built up the bike here in the shop. It definitely came out great and Holden is super stoked to be out and riding it. Holden chose to build it up with an Enve fork and handle bars, Sram Red Group, and Thomson Stem and Seatpost. He also went with Pink Chris King components for the Hubs, Bottom Bracket, and Headset. The Bike really pops against the overcast sky of Boston today! Congrats on your new ride Holden and enjoy it!
On another note I was almost arrested while photographing this bike. As I was hunched over trying to get the money shot a police officer came up to me from behind and tapped me on the shoulder, I quickly turned around and that is when he noticed my camera. He originally thought that I was trying to steal the bike. I was actually pretty stoked that the cops are actually looking for bike thieves!
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.
NAHBS is just starting down in sunny Austin Texas, and I am sitting here in Boston still damp from the ride into work in the cold rain. Tom, our Mechanic, will be down in Texas representing the shop this year so if you are down there keep a look out, he has some Superb caps that he will probably hook you up with if you ask nicely. But anyway, this week is gonna be full of Bike Porn all over the internet so why not get it started with some preview shots of what local boys GEEKHOUSE have up their sleeves. Check out way more shots on the Geekhouse Flickr.
We mocked up our Geekhouse frame today to get an idea of what it would look like all built up. You can purchase this frame and fork that was handmade here in Boston for $1300 including a sugarcoat single color powdercoat of your choice.
