FBM LOVE

We recently got some love from the boys @ FBM in NYC, take a look at their NEWS section. Look for FBM frame sets to arrive soon!!!! I can’t wait to build one up for myself, it’s calling for some B43’s…. if you don’t already know about them these frames are F-ING RAD, “The Sword”

VELOCITY SALE

We got Velocity Deep V’s for $260, all colors, come pick a set up before you miss out, you may just find that EVERYTHING in the shop is cheaper that most shops, and if you shop local shops (in our hood) it’s definitely cheaper, if the part, frame, wheel set, etc is not in the shop we can get it next day, cruise by!!

PISTA ART PROGRESS BY RUSS POPE

the old homie Russ Pope came by and started a rad painting in the shop the other night, a couple 12er’s of Miller Low life and it was on… were going to add some old and new cycling heritage tributes to it, look for more artwork and colab’s coming soon.

MY STOLEN BIKE

My shit got ripped off right out of the shop….when I was in the back office! Next person I catch stealing from me may never walk again much less ride a bike, this is MY personal ride so to say the least this is personal, these parts are VERY obvious, I’ll hook up a FREE “Pake” frameset or deep V wheelset for the person that finds my bike, or at least the front wheels, stem and seat….I’d be alright with that, bring it, who’s got the balls to step up?

shitty cell phone pic, it had a flat black Vuelta 3″ deep V on the back with a yellow tire….

Just show me where the bike is, or address and you are hooked up, no names dropped.

I have to tell you, when Lance announced he was coming to cycling I was like “uhhh, okay, lame Lance comeback?”, but now I am 100% Lance supporter, the dude is a F@%king marine, a solid 100% man we all wish we could be more like, he is a workhorse and just a flat out savage in the peloton. the guy broke his collarbone a few weeks ago (it seems) and he’s already racing one of the grand tours, amazing.  He get’s a photo on the blog for that!

Good Luck at the Giro Lance!!!

who did that art on his bike? didn’t he have a few made from various artists? I know KAWS did one.
