Why haven't we talked about this yet?

This bike, the Civia Halsted, totally rules.  It's a cargo bike that rides like, well, a bike.  We built one up for the shop a little while ago out of a combination of necessity and curiosity; it has fast become one of our favorites.  The bike comes stock for $1195 with everything you see here, though we dressed ours up with fenders and a rear rack and some pink stuff (as is our custom).  Come ride it around the block.  You'll be stoked.

Salsa Casseroll Custom Single Speed Townie

I have been wanting to customize the Salsa Casseroll single speed since we started carrying them. This winter with all of the snow we managed to make it happen. It is a nice simple build to begin with, allowing for some nice personal touches.

Some alloy touring bars for an upright comfy riding postion. Brooks B-17 was very necessary, Portland Design works leather grips and the Gamoh front rack, all add some fashionable and functional style.

Yes you can carry and open beer with the Gamoh rack!

Some nice Planet Bike fenders in brown with some skinwall Panaracer Pasela Tourguard tires.

This bike was originally selling for $890 stock, Salsa had dropped the price at the end of the year to $760. This custom version with all of the bells and whistles is $1065. This one is a 51cm, which in Salsa geometry fits like a 54cm (semi-compact geo.) but we do have a smaller one and a bigger one left that we could also customize just for you!

My Surly Fixed Gear Disc Brake Rack Bike

One of my many personal projects that usually evolve around some obscure part or idea that I need to get out of my brain and into the world. This one started out in an entirely different direction, but once I got my hands on that Civia Bamboo front rack it found a new purpose. A very special purpose.

So it is now my fixed gear, old man bike complete with front cargo rack and front disc brake. Brooks B-68 saddle with tool bag and some nice Portland Design Works Bamboo grips finish out the cockpit.

Velocity Chukkers dressed in Soma New Express 700x35 tires, laced to Surly hubs. And some Profile Race cranks with Volume Krull Spider, with Sun-Ringle ZuZu pedals with Holdfast straps.

The Civia Bamboo front rack with the Civia fork which is what inspired the front disc brake, 185mm Avid BB7. Some Nice swept back handlebars and upright stem to keep my old bones comfortable.

So now I can grab a case of beer or some groceries, maybe a big bag of dog food in comfort and style. And it is just fun to ride

Stylin New Front Rack from Gamoh

A lovely way to carry your groceries home, maybe some take out or even a case of beer. The Gamoh front rack does all of this while looking damn good in the process. Handmade in Japan, with Mahogany slats and a bottle opener up front for $130. Fits any just about any bike with a front brake hole and fender eyelets. And can be readily adapted even without fender eyelets.
Colin's Steamroller is now for some tailgating action at the Phillies home opener!
