Just like pictures, bicycles are worth a thousand words. Dan's Miyata, however; is worthy of it's own Homeric epic. He dumpstered this frame, which was once a 1980's chromoly road bike with Shimano 600 parts, and quickly stripped it. It's been built and re-built several times; changed ownership at least three times; and was once literally dragged behind a car to New Jersey by a previous owner. This bike has been a fixed gear, single-ring road bike, and currently is a dedicated single speed. Aside from it's pallet of stickers, rust, and chipped paint, there are other elements to this rig that makes it the perfect commuter for Dan.







Some of the highlights are, apart from stickers and spokey dokes; a Brooks leather saddle, Odyssey BMX pedals (for grip and durability), a wheelset he built himself (Mavic Open Pros to Formula hubs) and flat-resistant tires, and the essential beat-up front basket. It's certainly one of the more unique bikes you'll see locked outside our shop and one of the most-loved.

If you stopped by our shop late yesterday afternoon you may have noticed a new antique in our window display. Kip recently acquired this 100+ year old bike, made in the days where everyone was riding fixed gears because that was the only type of bike that existed (besides gear-less bikes, like penny farthings). This bike can be seen in the front window of our shop. There are much more features worth checking out on this bike than we have time to photograph in blog, so stop by the shop and take a look.

Earlier in the summer we were asked by Livable Streets if we were interested in sponsoring their Street Party this summer. To us, this was a no brainer. If you attend the party this evening, you can enter their raffle to win a KHS Cidi 3 aluminum 3-speed! The event is from 5-8 PM, at 100 Sidney St, Cambridge. Here's a link with more information.

Pete is a member of our mechanic staff, races cyclocross with our friends at Geekhouse, and has excellent sense of bike building. Aside from having one of the most nicest commuter bikes I've seen (an old Soma frame with a mix of vintage high-end Shimano and new parts, plus cruiser bars!) he has a couple other rides. Above and below are images of his Cervelo road bike.








Pete's got this super light frame set up extremely properly: Thomson stem and seatpost, 3T bars, Chris King headset, Chris King hubs on a custom wheelset, and a full SRAM Force group. Just as with any bike, the ride is all in the details and Pete has this bike built with very intentionally chosen components.
