Why our tumblr is so sad :-(

So somewhere along the way, some post, picture, embedded video, who knows… We ran into a bit of a compatibility issue. While most folks could see our blog just fine, others (certain browsers, certain versions) could only see our theme.

We looked into correcting this, but since our blog is currently being integrated into a larger project, we’ve decided not to dedicate any more time into correcting our blog ‘theme’.

Instead, we’re focusing out time and efforts on the new site, with integrated blog.

See you there soon!

Announcing State Bicycle Co IN STOCK

We’re proud to announce that we’re now the first (and only) in Ohio to carry rides from State Bicycle Co.  

In their own words:

State Bicycle Co. is a fixed gear/single speed bicycle company based out of Tempe, Arizona. Our goal is to bring the most attractive, high quality, and smooth riding fixed gear/single speed bicycles to the market at the lowest price possible. We currently offer 13 different color combinations, 3 handlebar styles (bullhorns, riser bars, and drop bars), and 4 sizes (49cm, 52cm, 55cm, and 59cm). Each bicycle model that we offer is available for 3 months to a year before it is “retired” and we release newly designed models to replace it — when they’re gone, they’re gone. 

What this means for you is some great bikes, at INCREDIBLE prices.

Stop in and check’em out, and look past the jump for some more images.

Pake Build

This was a fun project looking for a good home. This very smooth Pake build saved money where it needed to, and put it in the areas where it couldn’t afford to skimp. The end result is a ride that feels like it cost twice as much.

Just some of the components: Velocity Deep-V, Eighth Inch Crank, Conti GP shoes, Ritchey Pro gear and more.

Stop by and check it out.  One more pic after the jump.

A Bicycle For Our Minds

This week marked the passing of Apple co-founder, NExT founder (the people behind OS-X), and Pixar progenitor Steve Jobs.

I’ve been thinking about why this news seemed so sad to me. I’ve never met the man. It occurred to me while every generation has great thinkers, it is truly rare for one of those thinkers to have such a measurable and immediate impact on our lives. Gutenberg, Edison, Tesla, Jobs.

R.I.P. Steve.

Love Fall, Love Cross

Fall is here and we thought we’d show you a Cross (Double, that is) that we just finished for our friend over at OfTheLike.

Soma Double Cross Frame, Paul canti brakes, Nitto Stem & Bars (thanks to SOMEONES persistence) Campagnolo crank, Dur Ace friction/index shifters, and a whole lot of other treats.  Enjoy!

Bring A Paper Bag Get $1.00 Off Inner Tubes

Was it Picasso who said ‘Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists Steal’?  Well, when we read about this great idea out of Golden Saddle Cyclery we liked it so much, we just had to rip it off.

Bring in a paper bag, in good condition, and get $1.00 off an inner tube purchase.  We’ll just stamp it and reuse it! We win, you win… and by Al Gore, the EARTH WINS!
