Bob Sandor’s Cannondale 29′er

April 25th, 2009

Bob Sandor’s Cannondale 29er

Meet Bob’s new Cannondale 29′er. Bob’s second 29′er is a geared-up, brawny, racing-machine and testament to the 29′ers awesome handling and trail-appeal. You see Bob’s first 29′er was a single-speed and such a blast to ride that when it came time to get his 26″ geared racing bike down and prepare for the racing season he just couldn’t go back to the smaller tires and tighter geometry of the 26″. Since there was no way he was going to compete single-speed he really only had once choice… this beautiful Cannondale 2009 Vintage Moss 29′er with Caffeine Frame Technology. If you’ve never ridden 29″ wheels, we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, you don’t know what your missing. If you’re in the neighborhood come on by and see what we’ve got in stock, even take one of our demos out for a ride.

Forest’s New Cross-Bike

April 22nd, 2009

Meet Halter’s youngest competitive racer, Forest, and his brand spanking new cyclocross bike. Forest has been riding mountain bikes competitively since he was 8 and now at 14 plans to enter his first cross season later this year.

The Giant TCX 2 that Forest rides sports Giant’s all-new superlight ALUXX SL aluminum frame with top-routed cables making it easy to tackle all obstacles no matter the conditions. The stable, compact frame geometry and extra mud clearance will let this baby go where road bikes just can’t cut it.

The TCX 2 also features:
— Shimano Sora 9-speed shifting, Tiagra rear derailleur, ‘cross specific 46/36 gearing
— Crank Brothers Egg Beater pedals, OverDrive fork for precision steering
— Formula hubs/stainless spokes/Alex rim, wheelset with Kenda Small Block Eight tires

But wait…. There’s more. Cross season starts in the fall so until it’s time to hit the mud, Forest will be hitting the road on a set of Vredestein Fortezza SEs. And that’s the magic of the cross frame, change the tires, change the terrain. It’s really like getting two bikes in one.

More info on Giant’s TCX 2 is available on the Giant website: Giant TCX 2

A Seven For Kevin

October 22nd, 2008

I took the old parts off of Kevin’s Klein and gave them a much better place to call home.  Kevin is a big dude and this frame is SOLID!  He can’t be happier.  We added the FSA carbon cranks as the old 600 arms were falling off.

Thanks Kev!

Jane is Fixed.

October 4th, 2008

I built this sweet MASI Fixed Speciale LTD for Jane.   This is her first Fixed and what a great place to start.  This isn’t such a light bike but for the money spent it is a killer deal.  Look for Jane out around the roads of Montgomery with a huge smile on her face.

Check out the new FSA WHITE bars.

Jane will be ripping come spring after a winter spiing on this machine.

Go JANE!

Good things in small packages..

October 2nd, 2008

A few years back I built Marilyn Anker this 650 wheeled 7 custom road bike.

I just got the 2nd pic from her with a big thank you after her recent 100 mile LiveStrong ride.

This is a case where having a custom bike is really the only game in town.  She could not be happier.

Thanks Marilyn!!
