IN THE SHOP THIS WEEK

This week we received new items in the shop. We are excited about RoadRunner Bags lightweight roll top backpack. It also stuffs into a jersey pocket for one-way trips.

Road Runner  also makes a great wallet solution which includes a working phone pocket. Great size for a jacket, or jersey back pocket.

The Ritchey WC Paradigm pedals are high functioning pieces of art. Stripped down, and durable.

Trevor from TCB leaves today for Egypt, and to commerorate his journey, he produced a small run of these AA hoodies. We have Small and Medium here at the shop.  

This is the first delivery for the new 75 degree Cinelli MASH stems, and are produced in a new CNC silver, as well as the original black model. The 75 degree is a greater drop, and runs parallel to the top tubes of the Bolt and Histogram frames.

Look for a re-up of our RGB kits in the next two weeks.

More soon!

KYLE MURPHY

We met Kyle though Walton, and the group of students at CCA from Portland. He made his mark at our shop opening race. Kyle ended up winning our race on a Kilo TT with a broken saddle. Check him HERE at: 5:25 smashing 14th Street for the win. He won the cash prize from Incase, and immediately bought this Cinelli Unicanitor saddle.

Our shop was robbed shortly after we opened in 2011, and this frame was a remnant from that moment. The thieves broke the window, and pulled this frame out, throwing it onto the street to get to the complete bikes. It had Kyle’s name written all over it.

Kyle went on to scratch his initials into each piece of his bike, If it was ever stolen, and parted out, he could always track back his KM marking.

Last summer Kyle put in work racing on the road, and extended the season into the cyclocross season here in the Bay Area. 

A version of white

Prototype Histogram Bar Tape in matte/gloss.

Walton gave Kyle this small decal while they both lived in Portland. It is redeeming to look back at these small symbols, and think of how connections are made, and bonds are built. Our team is a group of friends, and that is the only way a rider is ever added to the roster. 

Look for Kyle to debut in his first Red Hook event, race along side friends, and his Brother Evan in New York this March!

Anyone riding all the stages this year?!

FLIGHTS ARE BOOKED FOR NY #1

Today we received some new soft goods for spring. Our friend Joe Staples sent us a napkin with this sketch on it. Being tired of spoilers leaking the days stage updates, he felt there was room to let others know in advance, that you do not want to hear about it. Enclosed are a few additional designs!

Detail from the tour shirts.
