We are absolutely fired up about the chance to build a new 2017 Cinelli MASH Work frame, almost as excited as Keith was about selecting components discerningly and getting the project together. Lots of choice components here from the old standbys - Thomson stem and seatpost, SRAM omnium cranks, VP-001 pedals, Panaracer Pasela PT tires - to the more unique: check out the purple anodized Mini Moto brakes, matching Wolf Tooth headset spacer. He selected a set of lightweight fenders made for...
Brandon came into the shop recently with a Kazane track frame, a mix of parts, and a mission. We helped him rebuild the bike with a mix of his old parts and new. Upgrades included a fork and cockpit (Cinelli Pepper riser bars, FSA Orbit headset, and a new stem), an awesome Cinelli Unicantor saddle, and sleek pedal assembly (All-city toe cages and leather toe straps on MKS pedals). All other parts were spit-shined to perfection before install. He worked with us to make sure his project was...
The other day, Paul Carson, a local frame-builder and teacher, announced a minidrome was completed inside the Artisan's Asylum, a Somerville collective art space. Some of the Cambridge Bicycle crew headed up to check it out armed with a stash of beer and a vintage GT Dyno. The results were beautiful. You can see this wasn't your average Red Bull-chugging minidrome event. Bill's up there rocking our snack bike, a vintage GT Dyno. It's not even broken after this. At the start, it was supposed to...
On display and ready to ride is this new fixed gear custom build in sparkle blue paint and chrome fork. It's a lugged Kazane track bike, built up with a high value parts kit. Seattube length is 53cm (center to top) and top tube length is 54cm (center to center). As is, this brand new bike is yours for just $999. It's a one-off build so take it home today before someone else does!
2013 Mavic wheesets are IN. We just received several models for road (Aksium, Ksyruim, Kysrium Equipe, Ksyrium Elite), track (Eclipse), and cross-country (Crossmax Disc 29). More images to come as we get them hung up and on display.
UPDATE: These deals have been long gone! Please call us to see what current deals we have in stock. In the process of cleaning up, we've dug up a bunch o random wheels and rims. Some are weird, some are awesome, and they are all priced to move: Sun Rims 24" (507 mm diameter, 29mm width) BFR - double walled, single eyeleted, 36 hole. Non-machined sidewall. Never built up but has some shop grime on it. Sale price: $20! Campagnolo Victory Strada 700c tubular road rim. Double walled,...
Due to a new cell phone commercial there's been a huge spike in interest regarding bikes that glow in the dark. We've been fielding a lot of questions regarding the bike pictured above. Our glow bike project from a few years ago has been making its rounds on the internet since the day we completed it. We do not have any stock bicycles available for sale with this kind of paint: this bike was a custom build involving parts that were custom powdercoated with a glow-in-the-dark pigment. Superb...
Our sister shop Superb Bicycle has recently introduced a line of frames that are still in the prototype stage of development. Keep an eye on the Superb Website for more information and updates!
Literally just through the door came in Fuji Classic Track in size extra small: 43 cm frame with 650c wheels. Fuji has been out of these bikes for several months, and we've unfortunately had to turn away many customers because of this. We're extra stoked to have them this early in the year. Very limited quantities are produced each season so if you've been waiting to get one, act soon. Pics to come later, when they've been built up.
Just minutes ago a few bike boxes landed at our doorstep: the Fuji Track Classic SEFuji Track Classic SE in pearly white. This model is the same as the Fuji Track Classic, only with a 44 cm frame with 650c wheels. The standover height is just over 27" which makes it great for people below average height but still above 5'1" tall (or so). It's designed to take 650c wheels (rather than the larger standard, 700c), in order to make the bike easier to handle with a smaller frame. We have three of...
The KHS Flite 100 has always been a great choice for a sub-$800 track bike, and this year is no exception. With its double-butted chromoly frame, track geometry, metal pedals with toe clips, and super light weight, it's an excellent choice for street and velodrome riding alike. This year it comes in gold, green, and black color options, with a track drop bar, and three-piece front brake. The best part is that it's dropped in price from $660 to only $599! We have a 55 cm currently in stock, and...

Cambridge Bicycle and New England Velodrome are hosting a seminar on Beginning Track Racing this coming Monday, May 11th at the Livable Streets Alliance space in Cambridge. This seminar will be designed for those who have little or no racing experience and it is free and open to all ages. There will be a short presentation on the history of bicycle track racing,...
Last night was the Opening night for the track season up at the New England Velodrome, and the Cambridge Bicycle Racing Team was on hand to celebrate and compete. Now don't you worry if you missed out, because last night was just the beginning of a whole summer of exciting events at the track! This year will be the first to include a Keirin Series and a Madison Series, in addition to the staple of the season, the Cambridge Bicycle Summer Omnium Series. Check out the full schedule here. Leah,...
It's here: the one of a kind Glow in the dark fixed gear Bike! Almost every component on this track bike is glow-in-the-dark, and as the photo shows, this thing GLOWS BRIGHT. We had everything custom powdercoated with a special glow-in-the-dark powder that not only looks great but is also a much more durable finish than paint. The bike is size 55cm and is for sale for $2000. We can ship it anywhere in the continental USA for $100. Other than all the parts on this bike, we have a very limited...
Today Volume released the new run of the Cutter Frame with a few changes. New colors including Bubble Gum, Raw and Flat Black, also the head tubes now feature the speaker logo cut out. I think this might be the first track bike with this feature, which is most prevalent in the BMX world. I think the key to pulling it off will be to paint your steer tube a contrasting color to make it pop.
There is new stuff showing up at the shop everyday, just trying to keep everyone in the loop! First off we have a custom track bike cruiser built by Mary here at the shop. Next up is the front display case which was just filled with our first shipment of goods from Laek House, this stuff is sure to please and the ELVS reflective hat and sweatshirts will even help keep you safe! This stuff would make a great X-mas present for that special someone. And last but not least our first shipment of...

GT is reintroducing an urban track bike into their line in 2009. After realizing that their 90's GTB (generic track bike) have been selling on ebay for over $500 bucks they finally realized it was a good move to bring one back. The new Gutterball will have an aluminum triple triangle frame, Truvativ touro crank, Syncros bar and stem, and built in chain tensioners. Expect to pay around 750 bones for one.
I have a few sneak peek photos of the new 2009 Fuji and Se Bikes for everyone to drool over. So check the goods out and we should have them in stock soon. First up is the brand new for 2009 Fuji League. Retro inspired lugged frame blend with red anodized components. Next is another all new for 09 model the Cambridge. Perfect for you locals.

Today came a long awaited package from EAI. For anyone who has wanted to build a really nice custom track bike the wait has been long for these super in-demand frames. But the 3 month wait is over and we now have 4 EAI Bareknuckle Framesets. These framesets where the perfect addition to our recent renovation to the shop. We now have our own track bike boutique set up in the back of the shop so when you come in and want to do that special custom build, we have a place to get out of the way and...
I don't know if you could combine any more types of bikes into one unless you were Sheldon Brown himself. But GW has made a rather interesting Bicycle indeed. It started life as a cruiser with mountain bike style 26 inch wheels, but after GW threw down his $50 for it its life changed course. Now sporting 700c track wheels and an extra welded strut near the bottom bracket an Avid Juicy 7 disk brake now resides where normally most people would attach a 22 tooth granny gear. I got to ride this...
Our amazing Igleheart one of a kind track bike that has been in the window of our shop is now for sale on ebay. This is your chance to buy it at a much lower price than we were originally asking. The starting bid is actually even lower than the amount of money we have in the bike. So Merry Christmas and Happy Bidding!
We recently received a shipment of anodized track parts, and they are nothing less than amazing. Here is just a taste to wet your palette. Stop into the shop to see more.
This is what happens when you give someone a good idea to run with. (whats up OBEY!?!) Thanks Fuji for making more bikes we are excited to have around! If you are too distracted by the sick blacked out lugged frame to notice how this crankset alone is worth buying the bike for, you better recognize. And who else aside from paul smith/mercian is shipping a track bike with a brooks saddle?
The Summer Omnium Series is about to begin at the New England Velodrome this coming Tues. and Wed. nights June 19 & 20. This three part series promises to be the fastest, most intense, and exciting bit of track racing to happen anywhere in New England. Note: The prize list hasn't been solidified, but its going to be big...REAL BIG! Every week so far this year the track has broken previous attendance records. Teams spotted: Aside from a huge Cambridge Bicycle Track Team...
We have been fortunate enough to make it up to the track in Londonderry NH the past two weeks! So much fun! If you have considered checking out racing your track bike, click here or give us a call to try and ride share. All you need is some dollars, drop bars with tape and end plugs, and a helmet. Also, if you are going to be driving up and have some space available, there are always people looking for a ride. It was great to hear Tony Eberhardt state that he was primarily involved with...
We've had a few more Bianchi bikes roll in this past week. The models include the Fremont track bike (carbon fork, aluminum frame, and dual brakes), the Milano internal 8spd, and the San Jose chromo s/s 'cross bike (fixed on the flipside). If you haven't found a good singlespeed or internally geared city bike, come in and we'll give you the tour of our many options. And if you are looking for something that is super affordable, we received a size fill-in on the KHS Brentwood, the most...
