Which Fu Manchu For YOU?!?
Bottom bracket height is always a bit of a compromise. A high BB reduces the likelihood of striking your pedals on rocks, but it also means a higher center of gravity which can have a negative effect on handling.
Purple Lizard Maps
A good, well thought-out map holds true value. It can get you safely to your destination and requires no battery or cell service.
Honored by National Bicycle Dealers Association
We are once again super honored to have been designated as one of the best shops in the country.

HOT 2017 Deity Components

Pilot Bicycle Restoration
This rusty little Pilot was a really fun restoration project! The bicycle’s owner chose to have the bike painted and some of the more character-building pieces chromed. The finished product shows it all and her childhood bike is ready to go!
Glutton for Punishment
Some old bikes just want to be resurrected from their state of rusty disrepair. They yearn to be born again as fresh, near-new machines waiting to hit the road… this bike was not one of those bikes.
