NEW BIKE DAY! Surly Cross-Check Custom in Robin's Egg Blue

Surly builds like this are always a pleasure.  Starting with the complete build, adding small touches to make the bike yours without going over the top.  Much like we did with this bike, the Robin's Egg Blue Cross-Check today was all class.


The complete build is pretty sweet, but subtle changes like Arundel Gekko tape in white really brightens up the finish on this bike.


Fatties do in fact fit fine.  This bike was built with SKS fenders and 28c Continental Gatorskin Ultra tires, and there's still a ton of clearance.


Just sit back and enjoy the rest of the photos.  This bike is just so classy, so clean, and so ready for whatever the road brings.  This one is intended to be used on a roughly 20-mile commute each way, though I have a feeling it will be seeing far more miles than that.

XS Lynskey Helix, Coming Soon.....

A sneak preview of a build coming next week.  X-small Lynskey Helix sporting some beautiful etched logos.  This is a killer upgrade that adds some stealth and durability.  The stock decals seem to hold up fine, but nothing compared to an etched set of DNA logos.


1-1/8" steerer tube and external headset, standard fare which will be plenty stiff for such a small rider.


Beautiful Lysnkey tubing, twisted for this Helix and finished with etched DNA logos.


ENVE fork, can't go wrong with this one.  It has quickly become that standard that builders reach for.


68mm threaded bottom bracket with asymmetrical  chain stays.


One more beautiful detail of a Helix, the clover dropouts.  These are made by Lynskey and reserved for their top models.  Want excellent shifting?  Try a titanium derailleur hanger.


Another nice little touch on the rear brake bridge: a clover carried over from their logo.


This Helix will be rolling on some 2012 Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels and Continental GP4000s tires.


A nice detail shot of the finish on this beautiful frame.  Not only is it durable, but we can care for it in house if something does somehow scratch the finish.


Great detail shot of the Lynskey DNA etched finish.


You know where this one came from.


More information and pictures coming next week....

Early Bird Spring Tune Up Special

This mild winter has us hopeful that spring is around the corner.  Maybe you are the type to be prepared, a Boy Scout if you will.  Or maybe your resolution this year was to plan ahead?  We have you covered.  Well, we have your bike covered, the rest is up to you.

Through the end of February we have a special tune up, something like we've never done before. 


Check it:

2 new tires (Michelin City or Continental Super Sport) - $70-80 MSRP

2 new tubes (start fresh, ya know?) - $12 MSRP

2 new derailleur cables - $16 MSRP

2 new brake cables - $16 MSRP

1 Breakaway Tune Up - $100 MSRP

This normally goes for over $200.

Through the end of February all you pay for is the tune up!  

$100 for the tune gets you a ton of new parts to get you rolling for spring.

Pretty simple.  We're ready for you and spring, we'll get you ready as well.  This is only good through February, so act fast!
