Pick a Frame

Frame is the soul of a bicycle. In order to find the right frame that moves you, we work with many highly regarded frame manufacturers from North America and Europe. We specialize in a wide spectrum of bicycles - touring bikes, cyclocross, single speed / fixed-gear, commuter, racing bike, 29er, downhill mountain and more. We carry frames made out of steel, Scandium, titanium, aluminum and carbon to make sure we find just the right fit and style for you. Here's a list of manufactures we are represent:

BMC - carbon, aluminum
Surly - steel
Salsa - steel, Scandium
Maverick - aluminum
Pivot - aluminum
Torelli - steel, aluminum, carbon
Lapierre - carbon, aluminum
Waterford - steel
Ridley - carbon, Scandium, aluminum
Soma - steel
Pake - steel

We also carry other steel frames produced by smaller companies. And depending on your budget, we can turn any frame into highly stylized machinery fully equipped with Nitto handlebar, Brooks saddle, Chris King hubs and Gilles Berthoud bags. We also have many demos available for you to try out before making the decision. Please contact us for more info.

Get Fitted

In order to find a frame that's most comfortable for your riding style, we perform a bike fitting using industry-leading professional system the Fit Kit to determine optimal bike geometry to tailor fit your body. We first take all necessary body measurements and then feed the information into a computer program that does all the final calculation. This is a crucial first step to ensure you end up with a proper size bike, thus result in having a pleasant riding experience for years to come. It also reduces the possibilities of pains and injuries.

Components and Accessories...Let the Fun Begin

Now watch that fun meter get pegged! With our years of experience we'll help you choose every custom part from crank to saddle and down to the chain to make sure the bike is uniquely yours in every possible way.

Here's an example list of components we carry and stock:

Wheels

Dress up your new ride with a set of custom built wheels. Having a light set of wheels is extremely important to maintain forward momentum as lighter weight requires lesser inertia for each tire rotation. With Phil Wood Spoke Cutting & Threading Machine (a true dream machine!) we can custom build just about any wheel in any size to your liking with greater speed and efficiency.
