Another wonderful #coffeeoutside ride including an informative presentation by Will of @broadsheetcoffee who took some time to introduce us to the basics and best practices of brewing your own outdoors and a little behind the chemistry of extraction and how to make the most of those beans!☕️
Stay tuned for updates on our future shop rides and outdoor events! Thanks to everyone who turned out today!
Jun 10
This Sunday is the second edition of our #coffeeoutside Sunday Ride with @broadsheetcoffee! This time, we’ll be taking a ride from our shop at 10 AM to North Point Park in Cambridge. In addition, our friend (and Broadsheet employee) Will will be offering some pro tips and tricks and a demonstration so that you can get your camp coffee juuuust right (helpful for next weekend’s #swiftcampout!). We’ll be bringing some surplus gear, so no sweat if you don’t have a stove or brewing equipment - all you need is your bike, water, a mug, and some posi vibes!

This is the best way to start the week! John’s killer @brooklynmachineworks GT came through this morning and got decked out with out last pair of the @simworksusa Get Around Stealth bars. At 710mm with a nice bend, these are the perfect bars for a track bike! The icing on the cake is that @chriskingbuzz purple bottom bracket. Save the track bike!

Thank you to @broadsheetcoffee and everyone who joined us for our first #coffeeoutside of 2021!
We picked the hottest day of the year, but came prepared with ice, and everyone enjoyed some delicious coffee both hot and cold.
This surely won’t be the last one, so keep an eye on Instagram and join us next time!
(And if it’s this hot again it’ll be a #lemonadeoutside ride 🙂

We’ve got lots of fun, new gear at the shop right now, including lots of fan favorites! For bags, the @swiftindustries Ardea handlebar/hip pack and the @revelatedesigns Terrapin are some of the biggest crowd pleasers and offer a ton of flexibility for different bikes. We’ve also got our favorite (and atmo the very best ever!) bottle cages made by @ron_kingcage and lots of fun bottles including these sweet mushroom bottles from the inimitable @simworksusa. Sam’s bike also has some really sweet unique touches that we’re really digging too, so we wanted to dress it up some of these picks. This is what we call #beausage!!!
If you’re feeling excited about getting out and riding this summer, come through and say hey! Maybe throw a bottle cage or bag on too to carry your hot day essentials. While we’re at it, let’s get excited about bike camping and #swiftcampout... more on that one next week!

Join us this Sunday for the first edition of our #coffeeoutside group ride! We’re collaborating with our friends @broadsheetcoffee, our favorite local coffee roaster, to make this happen! They’ll be supplying some of their stellar coffees and we’ll be riding out somewhere to brew them outdoors! This week, our plan is to take a leisurely ride out to somewhere close to home, Kingsley Park at Fresh Pond. Meet up at the bike shop at 9:45 or just meet us at Kingsley Park at 10:30, just be sure to bring your mug of choice, some water, and a face covering. We’ll be bringing plenty of extra brewing equipment and a few stoves, so no sweat if you don’t have your own #coffeeoutside kit yet. Hope to see you there!

PSA: our next group ride is happening tomorrow morning! The plan is to ride out to Arlington’s Great Meadows and then Whipple Hill, which is a very fun mixed-terrain loop that takes the Minuteman out and then the road back to Cambridge. Maaaaybe a stop at @broadsheetcoffee on the way back if time permits!
Meet at the shop at 8:30 and we’ll roll out by 8:45. As always, the pace will be casual and conversational (no drop!). Bring a 32 or wider for a great time. Please wear a face covering, too!

This one’s been a long time in the works, but it’s finally ready! Last fall, our friend Chase reached out to do a rebuild of this trusty @allcitycycles Space Horse into something more gravel-oriented. So, we went for a 650b wheel set, a Shimano 2x GRX drivetrain, and then we ended up going for a lot of real pretty @whiteind bits. We’re stoked for Chase and this new chapter for this bike. It goes to show that, “Good things come to those who wait,” is pretty spot on.

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!
