One of our most hotly anticipated bikes has finally arrived - the @surlybikes Ghost Grappler! This thing is a real hoot and a welcome addition to the drop bar ATB category. If you’re looking for an analog mountain bike, a beefed up gravel bike, and/or a true dirt touring machine, the Grappler is a really stellar choice. It’s got a 1x10 @microshiftofficial drivetrain, 27.5x2.5” rubber (tubeless ready and all that good stuff), a dropper post for getting rad, tons and tons of cargo mounting options, and a very high stack height for getting in a real cozy position. We have one medium left in-stock for $1950. Come give it a spin!
The one you see photographed was pre-sold to Suzy, who was looking for a bike packing setup and wanted to get in on the fun that this promised. She set it up tubeless with some nice @ultradynamico Mars 2.3” dancing shoes and added on a @swiftindustries #swiftcampout Gibby stem bag! We love to see it!

Our friend @acepaint289 made these amazing Trans Pride stickers and they’re donating all the proceeds to the MA Trans Emergency Fund. We wanted to show some support, so we got a bunch to sell here too! Come on by and swoop some for your bike, water bottle, laptop, or wherever else you wanna show love!

We just wrapped up a little refresh on this beautiful older Trek and we’re pretty jazzed with how it came out! We rebuilt the original 105 hubs around one our fave rims, the @hplusson Archetype. Alex also wanted a white saddle and some matching tape, which looks choice on this thing. Whether you’re fixing up something a lil older or decking out a new ride, we’re happy to help! Speaking of, appointments for larger scale service and tune-ups are a little over two weeks out right now, so swing by with your project and we‘ll be happy to get you on the schedule!

Here’s an important #swiftcampout update and a sneak peek from the route!
If you registered for our Bikereg, you should have just gotten an email with the details, but we’ll spill them here too. Our game plan is to roll out of here at 2pm on Saturday and make our way to Wompatuck. We’ve got a big group, so we’ll take a nice #partypace and take a few pitstops along the way too. If you can’t make our grand depart, feel free to make your own adventure and meet us there! If you need any last minute cargo solutions to haul your gear, just swing by and we can help get you sorted! As always, let us know if you have any questions! Can’t wait to see y’all this weekend!

Good things come to those who wait cuz we just got in a nice stack of @allcitycycles Space Horse completes and frames! We (and a lot of y’all) have been patiently waiting and they’re here and ready to rollout. If you’re unfamiliar, the Space Horse is one of our absolute favorite bikes out there due to it’s impeccable styling paired with the perfect all-rounder geometry that can handle the day-to-day, the gravel century, light touring, and more. We’ve got 6 Tiagra completes here in sizes 49-58 and 2 GRX completes in 52 and 55. Frames are also available in 46-52. Get in touch asap to secure one or to start a custom build! These will surely not last long 💨💨💨

Today’s coffee outside get-together was awesome. Thanks to everyone who joined us for the adventure, especially @willie_billie_b at @broadsheetcoffee for bringing the good stuff! It’s always nice to see fresh faces and fresh takes on camp coffee and light bike touring setups. We’re so looking forward to many more Sunday rides and bike picnics this season. Stay tuned for the next one!

Our favorite event of the year is back again! We’re stoked to do #swiftcampout every year and we’re especially stoked this year. We’re planning to head out on Saturday the 25th to Wompatuck State Park in Hingham for a fun sub 24-hour overnighter and then headed back on Sunday the 26th. This year, to keep a better track of the head count, we’ve made a BikeReg and are asking folks to register there. We have two categories up: if you plan to camp in the campsites we’ve reserved OR if you want to reserve your own campsite/just ride and not camp at all. Dialed route to follow shortly! DM, email, call, or drop by the shop with any questions! Hope to see you all for another amazing Campout weekend!

Our long-term bud/customer Rob just picked up his new decked-out @breezerbikes Radar X Pro! We went whole hog on this thing and added on some @simworksusa @honjomudguards, a @hebie_tubus_racktime rack, some @reneherse rubber, and we rebuilt the wheel around a @sonnabendynamo hub while we were at it. The 🚨@sinewavecycles light is coming in a bit later, so don’t worry! We can’t wait to see this bike goes, but we also can’t wait to see it get all dirty! Thanks Rob and enjoy this rad ATB!

JSYK, we received a bunch of awesome entry and mid level hybrids from @fujibikes and @ridecannondale! Whether you’re commuting, riding more for fun, or a mix of both, these are all pretty great options to get you rolling on two wheels! We’ll be here 10-7 Sat and 12-6 on Sun so come thru with a iced beverage and some sunblock and give ‘em a spin!

Hey! We’ve got a nice little group ride planned this weekend! Our friend @rynstagram101 offered up this fun remix of our usual #coffeeoutside with the addition of kite flying! Plan to meet at the shop at 8:45 for a 9am rollout destined for Castle Island. This is a strictly #partypace social ride so feel free to bring all your friends or kiddos! Also try to bring a blanket, a mug for brewing coffee, and some sunscreen cause it’s gonna be ☀️☀️☀️

We are so pleased to announce that a huge restock of “the Dynamic Choice™️” aka @ultradynamico has just landed in 26”, 650b, and 700c diameters! These excellent high volume tires are the perfect dancing shoes for your gravel glider, 90s MTB restoration, 650b randonneuse, or even just simply shedding some grams, gaining more traction, and significantly upping the suppleness. Come by and give ‘em a sniff or, preferably, grab a set for your bike 😎

Come ride with us this weekend! The theme this time is “vintage MTB’s” but all kinds are welcome, ride what you got! We will be rolling some casual local trails, stopping to smell flowers etc. Meet us at the shop before the 9am rollout.

We just got a run of the new and improved @statebicycleco 4130 single speeds! This new iteration has significantly better tire clearance (fits 42s easy!), can take fenders and racks, and has a sick segmented fork! The color ways are also pretty sweet - we have the windbreaker and matte black ones at the shop right now. Our dude @smithleyville is showing off the windbreaker colorway. Come by and check em out if you’re looking for a practical and affordable (under $600!) single speed commuter or tracklocross ripper!

This here is a real special build for our latest employee profile. Shane is a core member of our service team and has a wealth of knowledge - and an extensive parts bin with some goodies he’s been saving over the decades. He’s an avid @gtbicycles fan and always wanted to get his hands on one of these Panteras. When one finally came up in his size, he went to work and came up with his dream build which includes some NOS @avidbrakes and levers, NOS @maviccycling GT rims, and some NOS @shimanomtb LX silent clutch hubs just to name some of the neatest details. The full matching kit completes it too! You’ll see this bike on display at the shop, so check it out next time you’re around and see it in all its glory!!!

Laura was looking for the dream bike somewhere between off-road and on-road use. She fell in love with the new dreamy @allcitycycles Nature Cross, which is a lean and mean performance machine. We added a few bits and pieces to make it peeerfect for Laura.
We took advantage of the Nature Cross’ modular single-speed frame and added a 1x @sramroad drivetrain for exploring and longer rides, and swapped-in some tubeless fast & slick @panaracer_world Gravelkings.
Thanks, Laura! Have fun with this ripper!

We just wrapped up this fun @surlybikes 🍌Steamroller fixed gear build for our friend Sean! It’s gonna serve as a solid commuter but will also still be ready to shred on and off pavement! We selected a reliable, classy parts kit with a “stages of banana” theme, hence the green grips and straps, yellow frame, and brown saddle. Some of the details we love are the wheels we built with @velocityusa rims (our faves!), the @simworksusa Mowmow bars and cable housing, and the gorgeous and robust Sugino cranks. Welcome to that fixed gear life, Sean!
