The weird world of algorithm is an odd one.

A common theme we hear after folks find us (after being a best kept secret for almost 10 years) is that we carry the unique products for bikes that they love. We get a little flushed when folks say we feel like a version of Blue Lug or Allez LA. These shops are awesome and we fanboy them, but most importantly we appreciate being here for customers that are looking for one of a kind bikes, bike builds, and the certain accessories and parts that make them stand out or show their personality.

It’s not cheap stuff but it’s often the best stuff. It’s not high margin stuff for shops either. It’s just a passion driven love of all things bicycle and the folks who feel the same way.

Stop by this weekend and see what we mean!

We’ve been saying this for a while. We love Wilde and State for keeping the color game on point.

Does it seem like bicycles come in less colors than they used to?

Been wanting to do a titanium dream build? We got you! We highly recommend the Wilde Heighliner. It’s designed for internal routing, wireless drivetrain, and a playful geometry that makes it responsive and stable for all gravel needs! You’ll find yourself taking an extra mile or two before you rack it up for the day.

Happy Thirstday Night! Our favorite weather has arrived! You’ll need your lights and helmets and spare tubes per the usual, but you may want to wear some outer gear! It’s gonna be chilly post ride.

That means…fire pit! It means best Oktoberfest b**rs on draft! It means to get your self to the ride and hang out post ride!

Building custom bikes is one of our favorite things. Taking a killer frame set and adding the flair that makes it yours creates an even more unique riding experience. If cars are metonymy’s of culture or personality, then so are bicycles. And as with most anything custom made a vision can start to add up.

Like take this Wilde Bicycle Co. Spelljammer for example. I had a bar end shifter and a few shiny bits. I needed a frame to put them one. Well one thing led to another and now my bar end shifter and Zeitgeist are the only pieces of parts bin that is on this bike. In the words of Vonnegut….so it goes.

What’s the craziest path from a part you had laying around to a custom build that lead you to that road less traveled? I can’t be the only one, yeah?
