New Seasons

I was under the impression that Season Bike Co. was done for, but they're back for 2010 with a newly designed logo and some new parts. The Bigberg bars are 8.25x8 and the Eclipse double walled rim weighs in at 16.45oz. Colors look good too.

It's Cold Out There

Like it says, it's getting cold and snowy out here in Illinois. Come by the shop and pick up some of our signature "Ride Away Roast" and keep warm! Hey, why not grab a NCC coffee mug while you're at it! The mug has our logo on one side and our tagline on the other. You can look cool no matter which hand you hold it in!

*Thanks to Tobie for the goods.

Happy Holidays

Hope everyone is having an awesome holiday with awesome people and awesome food!

Copenhagen Wheel

This is way too weird for me...

Volume Thrasher Frame

Volume Bikes has a new fixed gear frame coming out soon called the Thrasher. The main differences between this frame and the Cutter seem to be more room for larger tires and hourglass headtubes/bottom brackets. It looks pretty nice really and I like the gold flake paint. For more photos and a picture of a built up frame check Volume. I'm still not a fan of those "freestyle fixed gear" builds by the way...

Lakai Commercial

Just saw this ad for Lakai Footwear and thought it was worth a post.

Photos From the Show

Almost forgot, I put up some photos from the Small Brown Bike show on Dec. 4th. Check them out on the flickr page.

Aitken's Back on Rails!

Mike Aitken recently rode his first handrail since the big accident. I think a lot of people never thought he would be able to do this again so it's awesome to see.

DK Prototype Chain

Spotted this cool halflink chain prototype from DK over on TheComeUp. Seems like an interesting concept.

Small Brown Bike on Impact89 FM

Small Brown Bike (joined by a few members of Cheap Girls) were just on Impact89 FM, where they talked about getting the band back together and played a live acoustic song (So I Fall off the Nail Yourself to the Ground EP). The station also played the two new songs off their 7" EP.

In case you missed it, I recorded it via Garage Band and put it up for download, just because I love you!

>Download here.

They're playing 2 shows at The Beat Kitchen tomorrow night and I'll be at the 21+ show. I'll be sure to bring some photos back with me and share them.
