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.
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.
We recently received 6 hand built custom ordered Igleheart Track Bikes. We bought the tube sets for these over 2 years ago, and finally got around to having Chris weld them up for us. 3 of the 6 frames were then expertly painted either Grey Metallic, Purple, or Teal by John Bow, the other 3 frames are raw and are awaiting a Powder Coat from Sugar Coat, which is included in the $999 purchase price in what ever color you desire. There are 2 frame sizes, the smaller size measures 53cm on the seat tube center to top, 52cm on the top tube center to center, the larger size measures 57cm on the seat tube center to top, and 55cm on the top tube center to center. We built up the 52cm Purple Frame set with some very nice parts and the complete is on sale for $1899. Some highlights of the build include a Velocity B43 Wheelset, Sram Omnium Crankset with 3RRR Mighty Pimp Chainring, Nitto Bars, Stem, and Seatpost, with a Turbo Saddle. This is your chance to get a locally hand made frameset with no wait time for under a grand, don’t miss it.
Chrome shoes are now in stock at Superb.
