SOLD! A new refurb just hit the floor! This 90s ParkPre got updated with a 10-speed Deore 1x drivetrain, a @velo_orange comfy handlebar, cork grips, and has some puncture resistant Schwalbe rubber. Come on by and take a spin and ride on and off some curbs like #employeerob here.

We decked out Lee’s new @surlybikes Disc Trucker with all of the accoutrements that a touring bike deserves. First, we went for front and rear racks from Surly and @hebie_tubus_racktime. We then threw on some stainless @velo_orange fenders as well as the oft-forgotten double leg kickstand from Pletscher. This thing will see many miles and haul many pounds of gear, so we wanted to make sure Lee would be comfortable and ready for the worst case. Now we can confidently say that he’s ready to rumble.

We had the pleasure of building up this fun bike this past week for our buddy Will! He picked up this sweet vintage Fuji Sundance frame and we went for a mix of old-school and modern for the build. We also hand-built some @velocityusa rims to some Shimano hubs and then put in those brand new @reneherse Humptulips Ridges on to top em off (still have one set in-stock 😉). We also went for a real @rivbike-esque shifter setup on the stem, which we’re really digging. Overall, this thing is a whole lotta fun. Thanks for letting us put this together for you, Will!
If this makes you feel a certain way and you wanna talk about a custom build, drivetrain conversion, wheel builds, or almost anything, get in touch!

PSA: our next shop ride is this Sunday May 2nd! This will be a mixed terrain loop going through Beaver Brook, one of our favorite local spots to ride.
The details: we meet at the shop and depart at 8:30am, ride the road out to Belmont, get in some dirt church, and then route back to Cambridge via the road. Masks/face coverings are required for this ride. It’ll also be a no-drop, casual paced ride. You’ll wanna bring 35+ tires for a good time, but all are welcome!

The bike most of y’all have been looking for is finally here! We just got in three @ridecannondale Topstone 4’s in sizes medium and large and they’re currently built for test rides. A nice comfy tire, a wide range 1x setup, and rack and fender mounts make this a sensible bike for almost anyone! Check em out before they get snapped up!

Attention mechanics! We are hiring! Looking for passionate and/or technically savvy folks looking to get their hands dirty and keep bikes on the road!
Our service department has been a point of pride in our business for decades and we’re always excited to add to our ranks. Stop by or message us if you interested in joining up!

Here’s another PSA for all the connoisseurs out there! @reneherse, @ultradynamico, and @panaracer_world tires are in stock! We have most of the popular sizes of the Rene Herse slicks and knobbies, lots of the #gravelroyalty, and some Cavas and Rosés too! Aside from handlebars, rubber can be one of the most significant changes you can make to your bike in terms of ride quality. CB alumni Val had us send him a set of the Snoqualmie Pass, which he mounted up tubeless on his gravel bike. Looking good, @chiseled_glutes!
We love all of these tires and love to nerd out about them, so ask about which one might fit your needs!

Tokyobikes are here! We have single speed and multi-geared options in several different colors. Featured here are the Classic Sport and the Bisou in Mustard (like a dark honey-Dijon 🍯) and Willow.
These nimble city bikes have 26” wheels, smaller than most commuters, which gives them a fun and agile feel that’s quickly growing on us.
We’re just starting to get these built, so give us a call to see if we have your size ready and swing on by to take one for a spin! 🧡

Some of y’all might remember this @superbbicycle Vivace we built up a few years back! Well, it dropped by last week for a visit and we’re just as in love as when we first put it together. We couldn’t help but snap a few pictures of it in the late afternoon glow 🌞🌞🌞 Thinking about your dream bike? Get in touch! We love custom projects like this and would love to help you get you set up.

Last Saturday, Luis made the trip from Rochester NY to pick up one of our last @bianchi_usa Impulso Allroads! At the same time, we swapped in a few bits and bobs, including the @fizikofficial tape, @panaracer_world Gravel King SKs set up tubeless, the @rideshimano XT trekking pedals, and some bottles and cages. Thanks for making the trip, Luis!
If you haven’t already, swing by this weekend and get yourself ready for some Spring riding!

Our friend Hugo brought in his ethereal @rivbike Sam in for some new rubber. We ultimately opted for the ultra-DYNAMIC @ultradynamico 700c Cavas to suit Hugo’s riding needs. While it was in the shop, we couldn’t help but snap a few glamor shots of the #beausage it’s accrued over the years. This is a certified stunner, thanks for bringing it by Hugo!

Yesterday the shop was hoppin, but we did find a free minute to snag a few photos of @dhpflaumer’s Soma Grand Randonneur. Not bad for a backup bike! (We’ll get pics of his @northercycles next time!)
Thanks for swinging by Drew!

@thumbsoneill’s well-loved and well-riden OG @allcitycycles Macho Man has gotten some nice #beausage over the years, but it was time for a little change! Chris had us install this new @fyxation carbon fork that he did a stellar DIY @spray.bike splatter job on. In addition, we built up that new shiny dynamo wheel. Thanks for coming by and letting us put this together for you, Chris! Keep an eye peeled for the upcoming part two that’s still in the works! Here’s a hint: it includes a very purple @whiteind hub 😉
Has all this talk about upgrades got you thinking about upgrading your rig? Drop by and let’s chat about what that might look like and what we can do for you!

Paul’s 🧼clean🧼 Basso just got a whole lot more comfortable. Paul came in looking to convert his Basso from the original drop bars to a more upright bar. We landed on this @velo_orange Tourist bar and then tied it all together. We’re so pleased with how it came out.
If your bike is less comfy than you’d like or if you just want to explore a more upright stance, drop by and let’s chat about some options. Whether it’s a stem, bar, or both, we can find a solution that works for you!
