Everyone loves a New Bike Day, but there is something extra special about your very first New Custom Bike Day. I recently had the joy of getting my first custom frame built by Lauren Trout at Saila. Lauren is an incredibly talented builder and I’m stoked to have this gorgeous bike. A special thanks goes out to Brad at Sugercoat/Geekhouse for the powder coating.
Here is the built details for the nerdz:
Fork – Easton EC90x
Wheels – Mavic Aksium
Tires – Continental Grand Prix 4 Seasons (28c)
Shifters – Shimano Dura Ace 7800
Rear Derailleur – Shimano Dura Ace
Front Deraileur – Shimano Dura Ace
Cranks – Shimano Dura Ace (50/38t)
Bars – 3t Ergonova Pro
Stem and Seatpost – Thomson
Brakes – Tektro CR720s
Fenders – Matte Black Velo-Orange Stainless Steel

It’s unseasonably warm this week and it’s perfect for riding. If you’ve been considering purchasing a new or used bike this coming spring, we can definitely recommend getting some wheels under you while the temperature’s warm. These are just a few deals on new and used bikes that we have right now with many more in the shop. In the used department we still have remainders from our 2011 season rental fleet: Raleigh Classic Roadsters $299.
Gary Fisher Kaitai aluminum hardtail – 17.5″ seat tube (center to center), 22″ top tube (center to center) – $299
Raleigh Sprite 27 – 58 cm seat tube (center to center), 57 cm top tube (center to center) – $175
Schwinn Continental – Single speed with coaster brake – 52 cm seat tube (center to center), 57 cm top tube (center to center) – $199
For new bikes we’ve got some killer deals happening:
2011 Jamis Beatnik – Was: $299 Now: too low to print!
2011 Jamis Allegro – Was :$525 Now: too low to print!
Raleigh Cadent FT-1 Was: $580 Now: too low to print!
Raleigh Cadent FT-0: Was: $450 Now: too low to print!
2011 SE Draft Lite – Was: $359 – We only have two of these left, in purple, and have a killer closeout deal on them. Stop by or call for price.
Sale prices above are only on models in-stock and in store. Prices do not apply on special orders. We have more used bikes and 2011 bikes on sale in shop. Come in and ask a salesperson for more info before this spring-like weather disappears!
Our staff has braved the snowstorm to keep the shop open today, 10 AM to 7 PM. Come on in, dry off, and warm up.
We see projects from local electronics and engineering students from time to time. This modded unicycle came in for a pair of fresh pedals – apparently a homebrew Segway. Of course, we just had to see it in action.
A couple weeks ago Andrew walked into the shop, and struck up a conversation with our mechanic, Ryan, about mountain biking. Ryan’s introduction to cycling was riding cross-country trails as a young’un in rural New England, and has been passionate about the discipline since. They started talking about bikes, with Andrew asking him, “Well, what would you ride?” Many minutes later, the conversation ended with an order the build above.
Andrew’s new hardtail is based on the Jamis Dragon Team Pro, Reynolds 853 steel hardtail frame and Rock Shox Reba air coil fork. It’s rolling on a set of WTB Weirwolf tires mounted to Mavic Cross Trail wheels, for easier handling through technical terrain. It’s outfitted with a Shimano SLX dyna-sys groupset (including new SLX hydraulic disk brakes with caliper heat sink), Truvativ Husseflet bars, stem, and seat post; a Fizik saddle, and Oury grips. Upon picking up the bike, Andrew took it out for a quick spin and came back in with a big, beaming smile. We’re as stoked as he is about it, leaving most of us getting upgrade fever on our own bikes and feeling guilty about not hitting the trails more often.
This evening we will be closing a little early to get a jump start on the New Years Eve celebrations. Hope everyone had a swell 2011 and a great 2012. See you 10:00 AM January 2, 2012.
Due to a new cell phone commercial there’s been a huge spike in interest regarding bikes that glow in the dark. We’ve been fielding a lot of questions regarding the bike pictured above. Our glow bike project from a few years ago has been making its rounds on the internet since the day we completed it. We do not have any stock bicycles available for sale with this kind of paint: this bike was a custom build involving parts that were custom powdercoated with a glow-in-the-dark pigment.
Superb Bicycle is our location that specializes in special projects and custom builds like these. For more information or an estimate for a custom build, get in touch:
