I was invited to small group ride on New Year's Day, which ended up being just five of us by the 9:30 rollout. Myself, Sandy, our salesperson Rob, and our new friend Annemarie ventured out to Acton and back for a nearly perfect 50 mile ride. It started with donuts, coffee, and quiet city streets. We scrambled over a frozen Minuteman Trail, eventually leaving it in favor of sleepy rural roads. Traffic was low, the sun was warm, and the temperature was just perfect to stay cozy without...

Ever since the technology was first discussed, we've been anticipating having MIPS not just available in the US, but in stock in our shop. We're excited to say that we have four new helmets with this feature: the Savant MIPS, Feather MIPS, Sutton MIPS, and Sonnet MIPS. What does MIPS do? Basically, it provides a secondary safety measure to prevent concussions and injury from angular rotations in addition to the impact protection standard helmets offers. We have MIPS-enabled helmets in...
What, exactly, is the Raleigh Tamland series all about? While some may simply label it as a "gravel/endurance" model, we think of it as much, much more. We like it because it's made with Reynolds 631 frame with a steel fork, outfitted with 11-speed Shimano 105 components, TRP Spyre disc brakes, and is based around 700x40 tire size with room to spare. The Tamland isn't simply a cyclocross bike with bigger tires, but has geometry that's tuned for riding on roads in all conditions. You can expect...
Hard to believe this is barely 11 miles from the shop. Winter's not here yet. Get out and ride!

We just received our first mid-range aluminum road bikes from Jamis for 2014: their Icon Pro and Ventura Sport: The Ventura race is ideal for anyone looking for a light and responsive road bike on a budget. With a frame made of double-butted 6061 aluminum and a carbon fork with tapered carbon steerer tube, it's designed from the ground up to ride like a higher end race bike.

More and more riders are re-discovering the benefit of quality steel frames. Though aluminum provides a stiffer ride and marginally lighter frames, lots of folks are beginning to realize that shaving a pound off of their bicycle doesn't really mean much when you're carrying 10 pounds of textbooks to class, or a change of shoes and a laptop to the office. We're fond of Jamis, in part, because they offer a lot of options for steel-framed bikes, particularly on the more affordable end. With 2014,...
You may have heard people talking about Shimano's newest groupset, Claris 2400. This is Shimano's most entry level component with their dual-control shifters, meaning that both shifters are on the break lever themselves (rather than a thumb button on the hood). With improved shifting and a sleek, darker anodized grey, this is a grew new group for anyone looking for a new road bike on a budget. Above are photos of the 2014 Jamis Ventura Sport, and the 2014 Bianchi Nirone 7 Claris, both...
It seems like the biggest assumption that keeps people from riding road bikes is that they're only for racing, or training for races. Jamis' 2014 Quest Elite a bike that proves this assumption wrong. The Quest stands apart due to its use of race-grade components (Shimano 105, Ritchey wheelset and cockpit) on a Reynolds 631 steel frame and carbon fork, with a more relaxed geometry. The frameset is designed around larger tires than a racing bike and has extra clearance for full-coverage fenders....
On display and ready to ride is a newly completed project for us. Superb Bicycle sent us a 55cm Mercato frameset. This road frame is made with Columbus Thron tubing and is 100% lugged. With it's classic construction, aggressive geometry, and unique look the Mercato is truly one of a kind. We completed the build with a Shimano 105 parts kit including a vintage Hatta headset, Nitto bars and stem, and a Soma Okami saddle. There are test-ride pedals on it for now, which means it's ready for test...
Luis came to us looking for a bike for everyday use to save his high end road bike from the extra wear and tear of the city. He and Josh worked together, starting out with a complete Handsome Devil. By the end of their conversation they ended up making some changes to fit Luis' interest and riding style, ending up with a truly unique and excellent build. Custom components include Brooks Yellow Ochre bar tape, Brooks Team Pro Chrome in Yellow Ochre, Nitto Noodle drop handlebars, MKS Touring...
Sometimes is the simple things that can make a huge impact. We just had our minds blown by the Ilumenox Nano, a $12 light designed to alert other cyclists when you're applying your brakes. The Nano mounts directly to your brake line and uses a spring clip that turns on the light as the brake lever is pulled. It's quick and easy to attach to most cable-actuated rim brake. We set one up with a road caliper, cantilever, and V-brake with good results. They're now in stock. Get one before your...
We've covered our Bianchi Nirone 7 2300 and Brava this season, but we have four more models from Jamis in our sub-$1000 road bike range: Steel is a timeless material for a bike due to its solid, comfortable ride, feel, and durability. The Satellite Comp is set up with a Reynolds 520 chromoly frame, carbon fork, Shimano Sora components, with rack and fender eyelets. It has a wide range of gear ratios with a 3x9 drivetrain, which is ideal for riding longer distances or with a lot of climbing,...

Both models are owned by members of our staff and strongly recommended as reliable, simple, and fun bikes for commuting year round. Give us a call if you're interested in putting one on hold for purchase; or having a specific size ready for test ride.
It's light. It's fast. It's super versatile.

It's paired with a carbon fork with a tapered steer for...
For a limited time Raleigh is offering a $50 rebate for selected aluminum 2013 models and $100 for their selected carbon options. We have a number of models in stock this would apply to, such as the Misceo hybrid with disc brakes, the Revenio Carbon 1.0 road bike, as well as their Talus 29 hardtail, Misceo sport hybrid, and more. This rebate would also apply to any Raleigh special orders on bikes we normally don't inventory, such as their cyclocross and road options. Below are just a few...
We've introduced two more 2013 models for our road bike lineup, both by Jamis. Representing their line of high-end carbon fiber framesets is the Jamis Xenith Comp. Based on a carbon frameset with tapered headtube and oversized bottom bracket shell, and super thin seatstays, the Xenith Comp delivers a high performance ride for road racers and enthusiasts alike. It's outfitted with Shimano 105 shifters and derailleurs with Shimano Hollowtech II compact cranks, Mavic rims, and a Jamis carbon...
Bianchi's 2013 Nirone 7 2300 has been in stock for a couple months. Now in are two 2013 models for those looking for a higher grade of performance: the Nirone 7 Tiagra and the Impulso 105. Bianchi's Impulso frameset is made from 7000 series aluminum that's then engineered to ride with an advanced feel. The specially hydroformed monocoque structure features a stiffer feel where it counts, but ultra-thin seat stays minimize harsh feedback from rough roads. Featuring a carbon fork with a...
When it comes to road cycling, no other material is discussed and coveted as widely as carbon fiber. What was once a material reserved for the highest end bikes is now more affordable than ever. Raleigh's 2013 Revenio 1.0 introduces a 10-speed carbon bike at an all new affordable price of just $1800. Unlike other entry level carbon bikes, the Revino does not scrimp out on the features: its bb30 bottom bracket, tapered headtube add stiffness where it counts without compromising its...

We have limited sizes and colors in stock for the moment - more are on the way - but we recommend coming...
The sun's been setting at the very end of Landsdowne Street recently. We've been getting direct sunlight as the sun goes down and the shop's been lighting up like crazy! It only lasts a few minutes but it's a nice warming glow to distract from all the cold weather we've been getting.
Every year we receive customer requests for an affordable Bianchi road bike in their trademark color. For 2013 Bianchi has delivered just that with their coast-to-coast series. In stock is the 2013 C2C Nirone 7 with Shimano 2300 components, in celeste. This bike isn't just about looks: this aluminum frame comes stock with integrated shifters, 31.8mm bars and a carbon fork.

We're going through some reorganization right now as we're in the process of slimming down our shop's layout for the oncoming renovation.

These prices are only on these particular bikes and sizes, meaning that we will not apply these discounts to any other bicycle, including special orders or future inventory. Above is a...

Bianchi's Volpe model had been a mainstay with us for several years for many reasons: simply put, it's a light weight, fun to ride multipurpose steel 'cross bike. The Volpe is renown as being a fantastic, versatile bike that works as proficient jack-of-all trades: it's an awesome commuter, road bike, touring bike, and can even handle light off-roading. For 2012 Bianchi upped the ante with the volpe by improving the wheelset with more durable rims, adding sealed SPD pedals, and using the new...

We just received a size run of the new 2011 Coda Sport model from Jamis. The coda series is their tried and true line of flatbar steel hybrids, and this year the Coda Sport is better than ever.

A short while ago we posted a teaser photo of a late 1970's Raleigh Professional a customer brought in to have it tuned and cleaned up. We added new bar tape, a new Brooks saddle, and rebuilt the wheelset with Mavic Open Pro rims. Charlie also spent quite of bit of his own time scrubbing and polishing, to an incredible effect. This bike isn't new old stock, it was ridden well and it's great to see restored to a fresh start. This bike is a pretty amazing piece of craftsmanship. The frame is...
Charlie has been working on a very unique project: restoring a late 1970's Raleigh Professional road bike. The frame is full Reynolds 531 tubeset and is fully equipped with Campagnolo components. It's a very beautiful piece of bicycle craftsmanship and will be getting a detailed blog post at a later date.
NAHBS 2011 has showcased so many amazing bikes it's hard to know where to start! One of my favorite things so far has been the Speedhound both. These guys have developed a unique dropout system that allows you to switch between track drop outs and multiple spacing setting... The bikes are great but I think my favorite moment thus far was running into Mr. Gary Fisher at Mellow Johnny's and snapping this gem of him wearing a Cambridge Bicycle hat and giving us a taste of his race face! Gary's...
This past summer Dylan brought in an old USA made Schwinn touring bike. He needed some work done for his first tour - a solo trip out from Boston to Ann Arbor. We tuned up the bike and built him a custom wheelset, re-building his vintage hubs to Mavic A719 rims. When he got settled in he sent us this e-mail with some photos from the tour. "Tour is complete, showed up yesterday afternoon. Just wanted to say thanks for all your help, Charlie: those wheels rocked the house, or the northeast...
Ling's well known at the shop for being the go-to person for info on the 43cm/650c Fuji Classic Track; but that isn't the only bike she rides. Pictured above is her Lyon, a fillet-brazed road bike with a classic ride quality and modern set of components. This build is the product of very careful planning and decision-making - a project long in the works. The main guts of the bike consists of a SRAM Rival groupset for its light weight, smooth shifting, and reliability. The handlebars are by...
Last September Ben bought himself a Bianchi Volpe as an all-'rounder road bike. Since then he has made a few notable upgrades and changes to the bike that have given it a more personalized purpose and appearance as a light-tourer and all-weather commuter bike. Although the 9-speed Deore rear derailleur is itself a very durable and reliable part, an XT is even smoother, lighter, and more durable. The shifter and brake cables themselves have been swapped out with stainless steel to prevent...
Stephen was one of our new summer additions to our mechanic staff here and at Superb, and he's been racing with the CB team for a little while (and recently got his UCI license for road!). To prepare for this season's cyclocross races he ordered a custom chromoly frame and fork from
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...
At our shop we always try to carry a few bikes that are worth of long-distance touring cycles. We just received the Jamis Aurora for 2010 yesterday, and it's an extremely proper touring bike. What sets apart a touring bike from a standard road bike is all in the details: the Aurora is designed to be very reliable and comfortable to ride, especially when loaded up with front and rear panniers. Aside from the relaxed geometry, Reynolds 520 chromoly frame and fork, double-eyeleted rims, and...

This very morning a pack of three hundred cyclists are making their way up the Mt. Washington auto road in the yearly Mt. Washington Auto Road Hillclimb. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the annual hillclimb, it's roughly 7.9 miles of a 22% uphill grade. (Here's a breakdown of the ride, courtesy of North East Cycling.) Last week someone came into the shop and talked about his experience with the climb on his Bianchi Pista. He said he made it in one hour and 20 minutes, at a better time...
Tyler Hamilton, Cambridge Bicycle owner Kip Chinian, and Craig Roth. (Photo by Steve Pucci) Our good friend Steve Pucci of Downeast Bicycle Specialists stopped by with old friend of his, current US National Road Race Champion, Tyler Hamilton. The two of them were out for a ride, and Steve wanted to show Tyler our shop. Of course, Kip tried to recruit Tyler to race for our cyclocross team, and as far as I can recall, Tyler didn't say no...
A very tricky course involving long dirt climbs and sketchy descents. This is Matt Spaits, a hard landing but he's o.k. minus a road bike and we're working on that.
