saddle tied

JIm's 10 yrd old brooks saddle has accumulated a bunch of miles over the past decade and was starting to show it's age by getting a little saggy, so we drilled a couple of small holes in each side and tied a small piece of nylon sting on the underside. It gave the saddle a little more support on top and firmed the leather just a little. We also gave it a fresh coat of wax too. Hopefully the maintenance gives JIm another happy 10 yrs with his brooks saddle.

inspiration for the small modification came from the folks over at velo retro.

my new favorite tool

Vince over at Underwood Designs just sent us version II of his DU Bushing tool. I'm excited to see the new stainless steel version (shop grade)....So, if you happen to need or want one let us know. We brought in a couple extras for resale. Price is $35 each

we'll also continue to sell the aluminum version and have those in stock too for $25

Free Agent

Here's a couple of pictures of the Free Agent Trail Devil dirt jumper with 24" wheels. A super bike for greenbacks.....$350

interesting way to adjust a saddle

Southern Utah

5 days of southern Utah sunshine. No phones, no computers and no news from the outside world was just what the doc ordered. But for some reason i'm ready to get back down there asap.

hey kid....nice jersey !

Ritchey Torqkey

here's a nice little tool that we've had for a while now.....using it today reminded me that i needed to throw a little blurt about it on the blogger. For $15 you can get a nice tool to help clamp your high dollar stems and carbon handlebars. Made for applications that require 5nm (44.3 in-lb) with a 4mm fastener. A small price for precisely torqued bolts.

The screaming Banshee's have arrived

New in the Barn for 2010 is the addition of Banshee bicycles and frameset. These guys are making some incredible products and we're happy to introduce them to our customers. At the shop right now is a demo Paradox, a 29er hardtail with a geometry based around more aggressive trail riding and a 120mm suspension fork. The other demo bike and my personal favorite is the new Spitfire full suspension bike with 5" of travel and adjustable geometry that goes from slack to uber-slack (66.7-67.8 with 140mm travel fork). So come on into the shop to try one out and tell us what you think.
