New Batch Of Custom Re Load Lockdown Straps!

Just got our second order of Lockdown straps in this week! We restocked the all black, always a crowd pleaser. Also had them do 4 "Custom" colorways for us.

Khaki with Dark Brown and Kelly Green.

Coffee with Kelly Green and Neon Green.

Black with Grey, I think they might add this as a stock colorway.

And my personal new favorite, Teal with Neon Green.

We are going to get some matching top tube pads to compliment these as well. It is really nice to work with a local manufacturer and get this kind of turn around on custom product.

And Roland even delivered them personally, Thanks!

4 Years Ago Today...

The infamous John Prolly posted his first bike blog about Domino, his new fixed gear bicycle. John has become the go-to guy for fixed gears on the inter-web, and to think it all started with that bike. I know he has learned a few things in the past 4 years, including photographing bicycles from the drive side, and leveling his saddle.

As you probably already know Bicycle Revolutions has just celebrated 4 years of bringing you fine fixed gear bicycles. So I just wanted to share some of the love for fixed gears with John and wish him many more years of blogging success.

Party Time! Thanks for an amazing night.

Wow, what a night! Thanks to all of you who cam out to show your love. And I will just go ahead and apologize for anything I might have said or done, it was all in good fun...

The cake chef putting on some finishing touches, can't believe they finished assembling it on site.

The Classic Cakes crew isn't fooling around. That cake looked and tasted amazing, stop by tomorrow and help us finish it, please.

And Steve just started eating everything in sight, chainrings and all!

The whole cake thing was filmed by Banyan Productions and will be aired on TLC June 11th, mark your calendars. It was such a fun night, can't wait to see what our 5th anniversary party looks like, this one is going to be tough to top.

Also, we spent the day today hanging with Wilis and Mary, check out the story here.

Profile Splined Sprockets Are Here!

We finally got a couple splined sprockets from Profile today! 42 teeth in black and...

36 teeth in silver. I have a few 36 teeth coming in black next week. $80 for either size.

Four Years Ago Today!

4/22/2006: We celebrated the birth of Bicycle Revolutions! The Shop was more or less empty, and I had yet to build the work bench. The pole for the repair stands was installed, it might have looked like a stripper pole. We ate and drank and dreamt about the future. Lots of work and an abundance of love and support have made those dreams a reality. Thanks to all of you who appreciate what we do and inspire us to do more and to do it better.

This is what the "Showroom" looked like that week. And most of the bikes on the wall were mine. I have even more of my own bikes around the shop these days, but we also have a much bigger collection of bikes in stock for you.

That sad rack of jerseys and sparse shelves of clothing (t-shirts) have exploded into what is now the Boutique. The "Candy" case is overflowing with goodies from all the greats. And I have worn a big hole in that step stool from side stressing all of the wheels I build.

A fresh coat of pain, thanks for touching that up Daniel Vitale, and some custom vinyl cut by Gibbs Connors. It was a store, now it has become a family. Thanks so much for being a part of it.

Re Load SuperLuxe!

RE Load posted a bunch of new stuff they are working on, but this one really caught my eye. I think it is a really nice combination of their old design and new design. The bag they designed for CMWC Guatemala is great, but the buckle is slick.
I know the kids at RE Load have a lot of work on their hands with all of the new and redesigned products on the table. I really hope Roland has time to ride that fancy new bike of his!

New Affinity Cycles Website and Blog are Live!

And guess who was asked to contribute, ME! Go check it out, looking good. I met Jason back in September at the Interbike trade show and we really hit it off. Not only are we putting out a BRevs-Affinity collaboration frameset, which I promise you will get more info soon, but he invited me to contribute to their blog.

So I made my first post, and I made a conscious effort to take some nice photos for it. I am going to be posting more about my life, cycling culture and the philly scene there. I hope you enjoy it.
