Used Trek 1500

Used Trek 1500

This is a Trek 1500 that’s about 10 years and 20 miles old.

It has an aluminum frame with a carbon fiber fork and seatpost, a mix of Shimano 105 and Ultegra parts along with a triple front crankset.

If you’re somewhere between 5’3” and 5’6” tall then you’re in luck. This is a 53cm bike and should fit you pretty well.

Only $499.

Used Colnago C50

Used Colnago C50 56cm

Here is another Colnago C50 trade-in. This is one Colnago calls a 52sl size, which means that it is 56cm bike with a sloping top tube. It’s well suited for a rider in the 5’9” to 5’11” height range.
This one comes equipped with a Campagnolo Record component group with a compact crankset, carbon fiber crankarms, shifters, and derailleur pieces. You get some pretty flashy Fulcrum Racing Zero wheels with this bike, wheels that are as strong and stiff as they are light.

The cockpit components include a Chris King headset, Deda handlebars and stem, an American Classic seatpost and a Fizik Antares saddle with some nice red accents.

Racing bikes don’t generally get sold in used condition like this (It looks unused).  A former bike shop owner had a couple of these bikes, and he took very good care of them.
This bike can be yours for $3199 (again, about $5000 less than brand new). It comes with a year warranty from Classic Cycle, and a personal guarantee that you’ll never ride a bike that’s more fantastic than this one.

Used 56cm Colnago C50

Used 56cm Colnago C50 $3000

Here is another Colnago C50 trade-in. This is one is a traditional (horizontal top tube) 56cm size, well suited for a rider in the 5’9” to 5’11” height range.

This one comes equipped with a Campagnolo Record component group, with compact cranksets, carbon fiber crankarms, shifters, and derailleur pieces. Since this all-black frame has a somewhat traditional look to it, the traditionally styled wheels with Campy Record hubs laced into Mavic Open Pro ceramic rims are a good match.

The cockpit components include an FSA headset, Specialized S-Works carbon stem, Cinelli bars, Campagnolo Chorus titanium seatpost and a Fizik Arione Kurve saddle.

This bike can be had for $3000 (again, about $5000 less than brand new). It comes with a year warranty from the shop and a personal lifetime guarantee that you’ll never ride a better road bike than this one.

Used Colnago C50

Used Colnago C50 $3000

We actually have 3 pre-owned Colnago C50s right now.  No kidding.

Bikes that we have described as being “the best ever made” and people traded their beloved Colnagos in?

Well, sometimes you just have too many bikes in the garage.

So our first version is a 54cm frame size bike from 2004.

The hand-built Italian carbon fiber frame is outfitted with a Sram Red component group and comes with a new cassette, chainrings and chain as well as a new saddle, cables, handlebar tape and brake lever hoods.

You get Zipp Zedtech tubular carbon wheels (with tires that are still pretty fresh), a green Chris King headset, an FSA carbon fiber handlebar (42cm) and a Thomson seatpost.

This 54cm bike fits a rider between 5’6” and 5’8” the best. It comes with a full year warranty from Classic Cycle, and a personal lifetime guarantee that it’s awesome.

The bike weighs in at 14 1/2 pounds, and it’s all yours for $3000 (that’s $5000 less than what this puppy would have cost brand new).

Torelli 20th Anniversary bike

20th Anniversary Torelli road bike

It might take an extra second or two, but I’d bet that people who are color blind can still figure out where this racing bike was built.

This is a very Italian Torelli racing bike built in 2002 to commemorate the 20 years that had passed for Torelli in the bicycle design and import business.

Would you believe that Fausto Torelli, a wizened old hermit living in the Dolomite mountains forged the bike frame from spent shell casings left over from World War II?
No? Good. That kind of mythology does nothing to convey the fabulous blend of new technology, refined materials and decades of experience that went into the construction of this bike.

Mondonico steel fork

Torelli badge

Campagnolo Chorus parts

Antonio Mondonico silver-brazed the Columbus EL nivacrom steel tubing into custom lugs following a trip to Torelli dealers in the United States. While on the trip, customers for this limited batch of 100 bikes were sized up, their component preferences were noted, and their tolerance for flashy Italian flag-themed paint jobs was measured.

Antonio’s autograph

20 years, 1981 to 2001

Number 2 of 100

Torelli, an importer dealing with any bike related items that are particularly fantastic, helped with the parts. The drivetrain is all Campy Chorus. The Campagnolo Chorus parts kit eschewed carbon fiber, instead proudly boasting the cold-forged aluminum construction that made the Italian brand so iconic.

Modular hubs

Torelli stem, Cinelli tape

Chorus post, Torelli saddle

The hubs, built in Italy and re-labeled as Torelli, are amazing. Besides spinning smoothly and holding the wheels together like good hubs are supposed to, these things have flanges that screw off so that colors can be changed and spoke counts can be different without buying new parts.

The rest of the parts are a showcase of the great stuff that Bill McGann (the Torelli founder) could source from Italy and other cycling hotbeds. There are Torelli-badged tires (probably made by Vittoria), Torelli saddle (Selle San Marco or Selle Italia), and Cinelli bar tape. The wheels are made with Torelli rims (made by Ambrosio), and a stem that looks an awful lot like a Ritchey to us.

If you’re 5’10” to 6’ tall you may want to buy this awesome Italian gem. It’s only $2400 now. We may even be able to find the commemorative jersey that goes with it.

Used Colnago CX Zero

Used 52sl (56cm) CX Zero $2899

A Colnago that can handle fenders!

Well, that’s not really all that the CX Zero is about, but it is pretty awesome that you can put fenders on this bike and keep rolling through the winter around here.

The CX Zero was the bike that Ernesto Colnago developed in 2015 for his sponsored racing teams to use in the cobbled springtime classics.  Besides being designed around 28mm wide tires, the frame was built to absorb a tremendous amount of road shock.  The wheelbase is a tiny bit longer than the rest of Colnago’s line, so the ride is even more stable than the usually stellar Colnago design, and the position on the bike is just a little more comfortable with the CX Zero’s short top tube.

If you have always wanted a Colnago but have been afraid that you’d get a bike that is too racy or stiff, fear no more. While it’s true that this bike was designed with racing in mind (and it does handle like a real Colnago), this bike is easy on your body. Call it a racing bike for rough roads and bad backs.

The best thing? That this is a used bike that’s been traded in. the parts are terrific. It’s outfitted with a Sram force component group and Reynolds carbon wheels. The disc brakes are TRP hydraulic versions, and you get a Deda handlebar and stem.  Brand new this bike would have run $5600.  You can buy it now (still in nearly new condition) for $2899.

This is a 56cm size, so it will work best for a rider between 5’8″ and 5’10″ tall.

Felt VR Series

Felt VR 3

Felt has done it.
Felt Bicycles now makes the ultimate performance bike for the indecisive.

Part of a broad trend to make high-performance road bikes more versatile, these VR series bikes are amazing. They’re stable (and geared low enough) to tour on, tough enough (and equipped with rack and fender mounts) so you can commute with them, and fast enough to race.
Starting under $1000 for the aluminum-frame VR60 and topping out with the $5400 carbon-fiber VR2 with Ultegra electronic equipment, there are 8 levels of supremely capable and comfortable performance from which to pick.

What makes these bikes so versatile is a combination of frame materials, frame geometry and component picks.

The VR30

VR30 in blue

Felt VR4

The bikes are super light like any good racing bike thanks to hydroformed butted aluminum on the sub-$2000 models and high-level carbon fiber construction on the more expensive models. The frame geometry (taller head tube, mid-length wheelbase, slack head angle) gives you stable handling without losing the racing-bike snap.

VR40 in green

The VR40 in peach

The wide 28mm to 35mm road tires deliver all-day comfort and extra flat protection, and the sub-compact gearing (cranksets with 30 tooth small and 46 tooth big chainrings) make pack touring and steep hill riding possible. Although every version has disc brakes (which add weight), the entry-level VR60 is only 22 pounds, and most of the carbon-fiber versions tip the scales between 17 and 19 pounds!

Kona Rove NRB

Kona Rove NRB

This is the Kona NRB. It’s what the kids are calling a “Gravel Bike” these days. Kona thinks it’s the definition of a New Road Bike (NRB), and they may be right.

Road bikes are more versatile than ever. A lot of them, like this Kona, have wheels for pavement as well as dirt. They have disc brakes, wide handlebars and lots of attachment points in case you feel like installing racks, fenders, or other storage packs.

The tires on these bikes measure a whopping 47mm wide (on a 650b size rim) so you get a very stable, really comfortable, and surprisingly fast ride.

The Rove NRB DL

There’s also the Rove NRB DL. I think the “DL” stands for delicious, but I think I’ll pass on testing that theory.

The DL version has hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano Ultegra shifting, and a really great looking gold paint job.

Colnago CLD

CLD in matte/gloss black

The CLD  occupies the top of the Colnago bell curve.

These bikes are where you get the most bike per dollar spent.  You get Colnago’s brilliant handling and unparalleled safety and reliability.  The beautifully shaped monocoque frame delivers Colnago style and performance for much less cash than their C64 or V2-R bikes.  With the CLD, you get decades of racing heritage and refinement for more attainable prices.  These bikes are available with Shimano 105 for under $3000, or equipped with top shelf Sram Red, Dura-Ace, or Ultegra DI2 electronic components for around $5000.

Just want a Colnago, don’t care about the parts?  Get the frameset and put your old parts on it.

With Colnago, there is little sacrifice in performance when you step back from the flagship model.  Colnago makes all of their bikes worthy of the best riders.  Grand tour stages have been won on models like the CLD  and many sponsored riders have personal favorites among the C64, the Prestige, the V2-R, and the CLD

Marin Gestalt

Marin Gestalt

In case you’re not familiar with the term, Gestalt is a whole that is more than the sum of its parts.

Marin named these bikes quite well. These are great bikes that give you more than the component list (or the prices) would suggest.

The Gestalt series aluminum frame is smooth and light (actually a bit lighter and springier than the steel Marin Nicasio or Fuji’s Sportive frame). It also comes with a fender and front-rack ready fork. The Gestalt versions that have mechanical (as opposed to hydraulic) brakes rely on the powerful Tekro Spyre models. All of these bikes feature internal cable runs and the fabulous 30mm Schwalbe G-One tires. In order to keep the prices reasonable, the Gestalt 1 comes with Shimano Sora components (for under $1100). The Gestalt 2 is equipped with a carbon fork and Sram GX-1 drivetrain for around $1200, and the Gestalt 3 goes with hydraulic disc brakes and Sram Rival parts for $2199.

Surly Long Haul Trucker

Surly Long Haul Trucker

Planning a tour that will take you off of the beaten path?
The Long Haul Trucker from Surly might be the bike for you.
Surly makes their loaded touring bikes out of tough steel tubing and finishes them with thick paint that will handle weird adventures and lots of abuse.
The Trucker has mounts for front and rear racks, fenders, and 3 bottle cages. Available as bare frames, Surly’s are easy to customize (they come with road-bike style drop bars, our pictured bikes are customized with upright bars for a long adventure across Russia).

Custom Long Haul Trucker

Are you really tall or really small? The Trucker comes in a frame size that will fit (and in 26″ or 700c wheel-size options).
Sure these bikes can be a little strange-looking (especially the tall versions with the small wheels), but sometimes you want something a little different, something a little less “corporate”, or something a bit more personal.

Available with disc or rim brakes.

All-City Space Horse

All-City Space Horse

You might be a rider who likes the idea of a steel touring bike.
You read Bicycle Quarterly and understand the appeal of wide road tires, generator lights and Brooks saddles. 400 kilometer long brevets with the Seattle Randonneuring club may be in your future, or you may just want a nice bike for commuting.
There are a few bike companies out there who understand what you want. Kona makes the Rove and Surly has the Long Haul Trucker, but you may want something a little more unique. It looks to you like a new Rivendell might be the way to go, if not for a few quirks about their design philosophy (old-fashioned cantilever brakes, quill-style handlebar stems).

All-City has it all figured out. This bike takes disc brakes and uses modern handlebar stems and headsets. The Space Horse frameset gives you the all-day comfort of the Kona Rove and comes in the versatile frame-only option like a Surly, without the goofy Rivendell quirks. The Space Horse is made from springy double-butted cromoly tubing. The fork has a fair amount of rake (so it will steer well with bags and other gear on the front end) and has a beautiful flat-plate crown.
Buy the Space Horse as a frameset or have us build it up with your favorite parts (the pictured bike came out for less than $1600).

Breezer Doppler Pro

Breezer Doppler Pro

This is a great bike for century rides, long commutes, short commutes, and just regular road rides with your friends.

This is a bike designed perfectly for the vast majority of Pacific Northwest riders.

If you can get over your whole “I might need a bike for a triathlon someday” delusion, this is the bike for you. Fenders and cromoly tubing may not be very aerodynamic, but they sure make your bike ride a pleasant experience.

This bike has randoneering frame geometry, meaning that it’s a road bike with touring geometry that has been tweaked just a bit. The bike is comfortable for really long rides, and it will carry all of your gear without becoming too squirrely. The wheels are the 650b size with 47mm wide tires and Breezer has still managed to fit fenders on the bike. The frame is made out of cromoly steel, which delivers a springy, compliant ride quality.

The Doppler has everything you want. It comes with stainless steel fenders, a compact crank (with a 32/48 tooth gear range), a WTB Volt saddle, Shimano Tiagra components and TRP cable-actuated hydraulic disc brakes.

Ritchey Road Logic

Ritchey Road Logic

Does anyone make a decent racing bike out of steel anymore?

You bet.

Ritchey makes a beautiful steel road bike out of their Logic tubing, and it’s just right.  Not too cheap (and heavy), not too pretty (so you’d be afraid to really ride it), not too expensive.  The Road Logic frame with headset and carbon fork will set you back about $1250.  That’s just the right range for replacing an old road frame that’s damaged or doesn’t fit right , and you don’t have to resort to buying something sketchy and used.  A Road Logic all built up with new parts will typically run between $2000 and $4500, and it will be the sweetest ride, with handling and comfort that is just right.

Spezzotto Custom 

Spezzotto custom

The name Spezzotto has been kicking around the Italian bike racing world for a long time.
There was a bike mechanic named Ricardo Spezzotto who worked in the Treviso area in the 1920′s. We think it was Ricardo’s son Antonio Spezzotto who opened a bike shop in Conegliano in the 1950′s. We know for sure that in the 1970′s a second-tier pro team G.S. Serrande raced around on Spezzotto bikes. It’s a fact that today you could walk into Cicli Spezzotto if you’re in the Treviso area and roll out with a new bike.

Chorus crankset

Columbus tubing

Campy Neutron wheels

Want a Spezzotto road bike but don’t want to walk all the way to Italy? You can walk into our shop and roll out with one now.

This frame was a trade-in. It was made in the early ’90′s of Columbus Aluthron aluminum tubing, and it will fit a rider in the 5’5″ to 5’7″ height range quite well.

Record carbon levers

Record carbon derailleur

We built the bike with a mix of Campagnolo Chorus and Record equipment, it has Campy Neutron model wheels and a Kestrel carbon fiber handlebar. While it looks like a bit of a vintage ride, the materials and design are quite modern. You get a compact crankset so the gearing is pretty easy on the hills, and with all of the carbon fiber bits and pieces the bike end up weighing only 18 pounds. Oh, and it will only set you back $1500.

Fuji Gran Fondo endurance road bikes

Fuji Gran Fondo 2.5

Endurance-geometry road bikes are racing bikes for the rest of us.

Bikes like the Fuji Gran Fondo weigh-in like a pro’s racing bike, handle like a pro bike, climb and sprint like a pro bike, but are much more comfortable than a pro’s bike. With a taller front-end, greater tire clearance and a slightly longer wheelbase these bikes won’t require you to adopt the low racer position on your bike. You’re able to fit wider, more puncture-proof tires on your bike and you can pay more attention to your surroundings and less attention to the few feet of pavement in front of your front tire.

Gran Fondo 2.1 with Ultegra

Road vibration reduction is the name of the game with this style of bike. Specialized would have you believe that a 1/2″ piece of rubber glued into the seat stays does this trick (yet for 2017 they quietly abandoned this ruse) in their Roubaix model. Trek designed a seat post that sways back and forth (and adds $300 in design elements and material to each model) for their pricey Domane. Fuji just added a polyurethane-treated fiber layer in the middle of their carbon lay-up. A simple technique that really reduces vibration traveling through the bike without adding hundreds of dollars to the final price tag.

Whether it’s your first race, the Seattle-to-Portland ride, your daily commute or your weekly ride around lake Washington, the Gran Fondo series will do just the trick.

Removable fender mounts

Gran Fondo Classico with rim brakes

Gran Fondo Forza with flat handlebars

All of the Gran Fondo models have great features like compact gear ratios, complete Shimano or Sram component groups (not mix & match), internal cable runs, Vittoria tires and Oval Concepts cockpit components.
All of the bikes have hidden accessory eyelets that make rack and fenders mount cleanly and easily (and don’t disturb the bike’s beautiful lines if you don’t need them).
These bikes are strong, light, comfortable and fast without killing your budget. Available with foul-weather-ready disc-brakes or extra light rim-brakes. There are options and component levels that give you 7 models to choose from between $1600 and $8000.

Lynskey Sportive Disc

Sportive disc

Not a racing bike, just a great bike.

Interested in a titanium frame but a little concerned about getting “too much” bike?

Try one of the Lynskey Sportive Discs.
These bikes have that fantasic titanium ride quality and durability and are designed for long distance comfort. So while they’re easy on the body, they’re still fun to ride.  The frames are designed to be more forgiving than the racy Lynskey Helix, but without the wimpy handling of a full touring bike.   The Sportive’s frame geometry gives you a ride with quicker handling than the Backroads, better stability on the road than a Cooper CX and still has the titanium snap that is common to all three of them.

Disc brake thru-axles

Hidden wires and hoses

Flat mount brakes

The old rim-brake Sportive could accommodate fenders with 23mm tires, which made it a good choice for club riding during a Pacific Northwest winter, but it was still a bit limited.

The new disc brake version can comfortably handle up to 33mm tires (or 28mm with fenders) with either standard quick release skewers or stiffer thru-axles.
Want to run hydraulic brakes or electronic shifting? Finishing options include hydraulic hose runs (as opposed to standard wire brake cable fittings) and internal routing for electronic shifting wires.

We can help you choose from a number of custom finish and component options available with the Sportive.

Scott Solace

Scott Solace 20 disc

sol·ace noun
1. Comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness.

Well I’d be hard pressed to feel sad while out on a bike ride, but certainly there is plenty of distress when you’re working out (just ask your lungs or your legs).

Scott’s Solace series is designed to ride like a racing bike, with great response to your pedaling efforts, great handling and feather-light overall weight. The Solace that you (or your back) can expect comes from a more flexible upper-half of the frame. Your position can be more upright (while still handling well) on a Solace than on the Scott Foil or Addict racing bikes. You get a bit more flex in the upper half of the frame and in the cockpit components than you could expect in either of those other models too.

Scott Solace 25

There are a couple of Solace models with rim brakes (which saves some weight) and there are a couple of disc brake versions with different component levels.

The rim-brake versions can handle 28mm wide tires or fit fenders with 23mm tires. The disc-brake versions should be able to accommodate both the wider tires and the fenders.

These bikes are cool. Stealthy cool. Shift cables and brake wires run inside all of the frame tubes. The front ends of these bikes are higher, but they don’t look exaggerated in any way. These look like fast and fun racing bikes, which is appropriate, since that is what they are.

Marin Nicasio

Marin Nicasio

Steel is real.

That’s what everybody says, steel is real. Really comfortable, really affordable, really smooth riding and classic looking.

The Marin Nicasio has a steel frame and fork and it may just be your next favorite bike. The Nicasio is outfitted with a Shimano Claris drivetrain, Promax mechanical disc brakes, durable 32-spoke wheels and 30mm Schwalbe Spicer tires. It has a familiar smooth ride that reminds us of road bikes from the 1980′s. Actually, the price reminds us of the ’80′s too. It’s under $800.

Bicycling magazine named the Nicasio “One of the best 17 road bikes of 2017″

Look 795

Look 795 Aerolight

Look at this bike!

This is the Look 795 Aerolight, Look’s pro-level racing rig. Like most of the bikes being raced for a living, this machine cuts through the wind like a bullet, climbs hills like a goat and handles the curves like a paring knife (how do you like those analogies?).

Obviously the cool things about this Look are the integrated components. Tucked into the frame (and out of the wind) are the headset, shifter junction box, battery and wires. The front brake reaches for the rims from its home inside the fork legs and the rear Dura-Ace brake is hidden under the bottom bracket shell. The adjustable-angle handlebar stem is really just an extension of the top tube on this bike, and the saddle sits on an adjustable mount that tucks into the seat mast, foregoing a separate seat post and clamp.

Integrated seat post

The 795 is available as a frameset (frame, fork, headset, stem, Dura-Ace hidden brakes, bottom bracket, Look Zed 3 crankset, and seat mast) for $6500. A complete bike outfitted with Sram Red Etap electronic components and Mavic Cosmic carbon wheels runs $12k.

Fuji Tread

Tread 1.5

Cyclocross bike or touring bike or gravel bike or disc-brake road bike?
Fuji has a family of bikes that fit into all of these categories but are defined by none of them.
Fuji’s Tread series are just good bikes at decent prices.
The idea behind the Tread series is that you can blur the lines of different road bike categories and make a versatile and fun bike. Take a long haul touring bike and make the handling sportier. Take a cyclocross bike, lower the bottom bracket height for better on-road manners, then add rack & fender eyelets. Take a road bike, install disc brakes and give it some beefy tires and rims so it can handle a tough urban commute.

The Tread 1.3

The Tread 1.5 gives you an aluminum frame, disc brakes, a carbon fork (steerer tube as well as legs), and reliable Shimano Claris components all for around $800. It’s a steal. Then there’s the 1.3 which comes with the newly updated Shimano Sora group and TRP Spyre disc brakes for about $900!
Whatever road bike category you have in mind, you might want to ride one of these Fujis. With great performance and astounding component choices for under $1000, you really ought to give one of these a spin.

Felt Z6

Felt Z6 Disc

Check out this versatile road bike model from Felt.
It’s pretty light, really comfortable and plenty fast.
We’re actually using the Z6 in our road bike rental fleet.

Felt considers these bikes to be race bikes with a little extra comfort and stopping power thrown in. We couldn’t agree more.

TRP Spyre cable-actuated disc brakes stop the Z6 on a dime. While disc brakes may seem unnecessary on a modern road bike, they do have some advantages:
By moving the brakes away from the top of the wheels, you get added clearance for wider road tires and fenders.  By moving the brake pads away from the rims, you get wheels that last a lot longer in Pacific Northwest rain and grit.  Since the brakes stop the bike by squeezing rotors at the center of the wheel instead of at the rim, the braking surface is up out of puddle range and is generally nice and dry.

The rest of the components work well and don’t add a ton of weight.  You get a Shimano Tiagra drivetrain, Vittoria Rubino tires, a carbon seat post, comfortable saddle, variable-radius handlebar and multi-position handlebar stem.   The heart of the Z6 is a sporty carbon frame that is both stiff and light, so you’re looking at a fast and efficient machine, not just a touring bike on steroids…

Fuji Sportif series road bikes

Fuji Sportif 1.3

Fuji is a new brand for us, and one of the main reasons that Fuji gets floor space in our store is the Sportif series.

Theses are road bikes with a lot of great features all in one place and all for a good price.

The models with a “1″ in their model name feature disc brakes, while the “2″ versions go the light-weight caliper brake route. All of the Sportifs are built around butted aluminum frames that have a nice springy ride quality. They also feature carbon fiber forks up front that handle great and soften the road vibration quite well.

One of our favorite versions is the Sportif 1.3. This Sportif features Avid BB7 mechanical disc brakes and a 22-speed Shimano 105 component group.  The wheels roll on 28mm-wide road tires, which give you better flat protection and ride comfort than standard 23mm-wide tires.  You get eyelets for fenders and racks.  The cockpit is outfitted with Oval Concepts handlebars and seatpost (which are nice and light).  There’s a compact crankset and a wide-range cassette so the gearing is really good for the hills around here.  The saddle is actually quite comfortable.  It’s all good stuff (and it will only set you back about $1100).

The point is, the Sportif 1.3 and the other versions are all sturdy and versatile road bikes.  A lot of mid-level road bikes are just scaled down racing bikes that are too fragile for the daily commute or too uncomfortable for long rides like Seattle to Portland.  The Fuji Sportif is a road bike that can do it all.

Felt Verza Speed 7

Felt Verza Speed 7

There is no rule that says your road bike has to have drop-style handlebars.

Road bikes are light, aerodynamic and efficient. Road riders typically want curved handlebars to give them some different hand positions (to aid in aerodynamics and to stretch out over the course of a longer ride).

Maybe you don’t give a rip about aerodynamics and just want to sit upright on your bike. If you’d prefer a flat handlebar take a look at the Verza Speed series from Felt. With Verza Speed versions available as low as $700 and as high as $2700 there’s bound to be one that you like.

The Verza Speed 7 has a carbon fiber frame built around road-bike handling but optimized for use with a flat handlebar. The Shimano Sora component group works great (ditto for the Tektro Spyre disc brakes) and with Felt’s light-but-affordable parts selection you end up with a 19-pound disc brake bike under $1700. Fantastic.

Ritchey Ascent Breakaway

Ritchey Ascent Breakaway

Most of us have access to a couple of different bikes.

If something horrible were ever to happen to our society (like maybe a zombie apocalypse) and you had to get by with only one bike to ride everywhere, you could hardly pick a better bike than the Ritchey Ascent.

The Ascent is a long-haul touring bike.  It’s a gravel adventure bike.  With upright handlebars installed it becomes a hybrid city bike.  With upright handlebars and fat tires installed it’s a mountain bike.  With skinny and smooth tires installed it’s a fast road bike.  The Ascent can be configured any way that you can imagine, and since it comes to us as a bare frame and you decide how you want it to turn out, it can be configured to fit just about any budget that you have in mind.

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

All packed up and ready to roll

Did we mention that the Ascent is a travel bike?  Yep.  It comes apart and fits into a regular-size suitcase.  This means that it flies to your ride destination just like regular checked luggage with no exorbitant bicycle surcharge.

Don’t worry. If you happen to have a couple of different bikes at home and want to add the Ascent to your fleet, it doesn’t have to be your only ride.
Last chance to buy one of these! This model is being discontinued. There are 3 medium-size frames left as of September 15.

Surly Cross Check (and Cross-Check Disc)

Surly Cross-Check

Not going to step lightly around the subject.  We have other bikes for sale that you might like better than the Cross Check.

Felt has some bikes save a lot of weight with their aluminum frames, and have better components at similar prices to the Surly.

The steel Breezer Radar has probably the best ride quality of any touring or cross bike ever built. The Marin Gestalt and Nicassio models can be pounds lighter than a Cross Check.

You might want to get a Surly anyway.

A Cross-Check city bike

The Cross Check from Surly is the bike to pick when you want options.  Really tall or really small?  Surly has a frame size that will fit.  Want to customize your bike?  Surlys are available as bare frames.  Want tough steel tubing and thick paint that will handle years of abuse and neglect?  Surly is your brand.  Want something a little different, or a little less “corporate”, pick Surly.

Since the Cross Check is available as a bare frameset, you can have us build you a Cross Check in any configuraton that you can imagine. Upright handlebars, drop bars, skinny road tires or big fat knobbies, anything.  Available with rim brakes or discs.

Surly even makes a version with couplers in the middle of the frame so you can take it apart and stuff it in a suitcase when you travel.

If you’re between 5’2″ and 5’6″ tall we have a good deal available.  Our floor model Cross Check is now $400 less than msrp.  All yours for around $1200.

Ritchey Breakaway Road

Ritchey travel bike

Take the legendary and inspiring handling of a hand-built Ritchey bicycle. Add a revolutionary coupling system that allows you to pack it and travel around the world with ease. The result is the ultimate travel bike: The Ritchey Break-Away.  A full size bike in a case that measures a scant 9″ x 26″ x 29″!

The Break-Away bike disassembles and assembles in minutes and comes complete with a travel bag. Ritchey custom steel and carbon fiber tubesets and the patented compression coupling system are the keys to this design. The frame is securely joined at the seatpost in two places and on the downtube. The coupler clamps unobtrusively around small flanges on the downtube. While this system is as secure as systems much larger it adds less than 100 grams.

All packed up and ready to roll

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

Simple seat post clamps hold the frame together

Ritchey Break-Away frames are available in custom heat treated cromoly tubing and carbon fiber. Frame sets are available in road or cyclocross frame styles in a broad range of sizes. Purchase as a complete bike or as a frameset with carbon fork, headset, cable couplers & deluxe travel case.

Fuji Touring

Fuji Touring

Fuji’s touring bike has been the multi-day touring standard for more than 3 decades. If you’re a committed touring cyclist looking for the utmost in comfort and durability, this Fuji is for you.

The steel frame rides great regardless of the amount of weight that is packed onto it.  Unloaded, the bike is fun to ride.  Loaded, even with front panniers, you can handle it in the most severe cross winds.

Fuji has picked equipment that is reliable, touring tested and simple to repair in even the most out of the way places. The key features of this Fuji are the frameset, which is made of springy, strong, and surprisingly light cromoly tubing (about 2 pounds lighter than Surly’s Long Haul Trucker), the robust traditionally spoked touring wheels (36 spokes laced to Shimano hubs), and the complete Shimano drivetrain utilizing the best elements of road and off-road componentry.

For those of you who want simple and familiar, you’ll appreciate the bar-end shifters and rim brakes. For those of you who want cutting-edge and new (as of 1991) we can substitute integrated brake/shift levers for an additional $100.
By the way, would you believe that this bike will cost you less than $1000? Seriously, it’s about $500 off the price of a Trek 520 or a Surly Long Haul Trucker.
We don’t know how they do it.

Colnago Strada SL

Colnago Strada SL

If you were a new cyclist in 1972 and you asked that hippie biker friend of yours what kind of racing bike you should get, he probably would have steered you toward a Colnago Super.

If you entered your first race in 1986 and found your bike a bit lacking, you may have walked into the corner bike shop and rolled out with a Colnago Master.

If you sat down with me today at the coffee shop and said that you were thinking of racing and wanted a new bike, I would likely suggest a Colnago Strada SL.

It looks great too.

The butted aluminum and carbon construction is light and springy. The back end of this bike and the bottom bracket area are super stiff. Colnago delivers a complete bike (with Shimano 105 or Ultegra components) that is as tough as nails and easy on the eyes. The price is reasonable enough that you won’t sweat the scratch it got in the back of the race support truck, and you’ll feel fine (about the bike at least) grinding out the miles on rainy rides.

Just keep in mind that the Strada SL is more than just a great racing bike. It’s comfortable, it handles perfectly and it looks terrific.

Fuji Ace 24 & 650

Fuji Ace 24

This is a rare bike.

A real road bike for kids.  In stock.

As light and well-equipped as a starter racing bike for adults, the Ace 24 is perfect for the little speed demon in your family.  It doesn’t come with Shimano STI levers, opting for simpler (and less expensive) handlebar-mounted toggle switches.  What the bike does have is 14 speeds, quality wheels and brakes and cool styling.

The Ace 24 will work pretty well for most kids in the 8 to 12 year age range.  With 24″ wheel, reduced length cranks, a narrow handlebar, and small-size brake levers, this bike will fit just right.

Fuji Ace 650

if we need to go a little bit bigger, Fuji does the Ace 650 for kids and adults in the 4’9″ to 5′ tall range.

These bikes are exceptionally hard to get our hands on, so if you want one, don’t hesitate to come in and grab it.

Colnago V1-R

Colnago V1-R

Aerodynamic road bikes generally don’t handle so well.
Super-light climbing bikes are usually a little whippy.
Super-stiff racing road bikes typically aren’t the most comfortable.
It’s a good thing that the Colnago V1-R isn’t your typical road bike.

The V1-r is a super-light (780 grams for a 60cm frame), extremely aerodynamic road bike that climbs and sprints better than anything we have ever ridden.  Like all Colnagos, the V1-R handles beautifully, and has enough flex built into the frame and fork that the V1-R won’t beat you up if you want to spend long hours in the saddle.

That’s one fast snail

Direct mount brakes

Kammtail tubing shapes

The aerodynamic Kammtail tubing design (and wind tunnel time) of the V1-R was made possible with the help of another Italian legend, Ferrari.  Colnago and Ferrari have been sharing material and design ideas for years.

A local observer of our photo shoot decided that he should be associated with Colnago, Ferrari, and all things fast.  Yep, that’s one fast snail crawling up the wall behind our bike.

Ritchey Breakaway Carbon

Ritchey Breakaway Carbon

High performance to go.
Tom Ritchey has been designing fantastic bicycles for about 40 years now. In that time, Tom has managed to squeeze every drop of performance out of the materials he has at hand. Finally turning his attention to carbon fiber, Tom has built a winner.
The Breakaway Carbon has made Classic Cycle’s (Paul and Gavin’s) top 3 road bikes of all time list (along with the Colnago C60 and the Fuji Gran Fondo).
It rides great, is extremely comfortable, looks awesome, and seems to be tough as nails.
For about $3000 you can get the frame, fork, headset and suitcase. Complete bikes can be built up between $4000 and $7000.

All packed up and ready to roll

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

Cable couplers hold their adjustments and unscrew by hand

As an added benefit, this bike easily packs down into a regular size suitcase (which is included with the frameset) so you can take it with you when you go on vacation. Awesome.

Raleigh Revenio Carbon

Revenio carbon 3

The frame geometry is similar to our other “all day” carbon bikes (Fuji Gran Fondo, Scott Solace, Felt VR series), with a bit taller head tube than on Raleigh’s Militis race machines for better comfort.  Smooth and solid wheels with Vittoria tires come stock (traditional spoke count for added durability), and added goodies like Prologo saddles, Momentum rims and even carbon stems finish up the bikes.

The Revenio 3 is the bike that we use for our road bike rentals.  It rides well, it’s light and comes with new Shimano Ultegra 11 speed equipment for under $2500.  It has a carbon crankset, a BB30 bottom bracket interface, internal routing for the cables (which can also be used to run electronic wires if you ever upgrade to Di2).

Our remaining Revenio Carbon 3.0s are now on sale only $1599!

Colnago AC-R

Colnago AC-R

Have you ever had a sure thing?

In the bike world, a sure thing is hard to come by.  Except for Colnago.

Bikes that have Ernesto Colnago’s name on them are a known quantity.

They’re beautiful, they’re fast, they’re safe and reliable.

When you ride a Colnago, you can be sure that the front-end handling will be perfectly mannered.  You can be certain that the frame will feel stiff and reponsive when you climb or while you sprint.  By riding a Colnago, you can rest assured you have the coolest bike on the group ride.

Most people also assume it’s a safe bet that a Colnago will be super expensive and uncomfortable for anything except racing…

… So maybe the AC-R isn’t a sure thing.  The AC-R is less expensive, lighter weight, and more comfortable than you expect.

Available complete with Shimano 105, Shimano Ultegra mechanical or electronic component groups, and as a custom build.

Raleigh Record Ace

Raleigh Record Ace

We know your type.
You’re a person who likes your music in album form, on vinyl.
If you’re going to watch a movie, you go to the theatre and see it in the format for which it was filmed, not on some 10 inch computer screen.
Thirsty? You’ll have a Coke in a glass bottle (and preferably imported from Mexico, where they still use real sugar).
All of this is to say that you are aware that there are choices to be made, and all things being equal, why not have the best experience possible?

The Record Ace is probably right up your alley.  The Record Ace’s Reynolds 631 steel frame rides like your Vinyl music sounds. The handling and road sensations feel rounded and more complete somehow.
The Gran Prix’s wide, polished rims and 28mm tires roll like the designers intended. These wonderful wheels aren’t crammed into tight aerodynamic frame cut-outs, but given lots of room to roll under long reach brake calipers and svelte steel frame members. The other components? You won’t find any high-fructose sweetener in Campagnolo’s Veloce group set. Campagnolo uses real sugar. Bright polished aluminum parts that work crisply and feel just right.

This Raleigh will make every ride seem like a more complete experience, whether it’s a ride to work, the Chilly-Hilly, a 500km brevet, or the Sunday-morning club ride.

Colnago Master

Colnago Master

If the year was 1988 and you wanted the best racing bike that money could buy, you’d get a Colnago Master.

If it was 1996 and you wanted a racing bike but you thought bikes made out of aluminum rode harshly and you couldn’t afford titanium, you’d get a Colnago Master.

If you wandered into a bike shop ten years ago and wanted a road bike but thought all of the carbon fiber models looked like plastic toys, you’d have gotten yourself a Colnago Master.

If you come into Classic Cycle tomorrow and you’re feeling nostalgic, you can get a Colnago Master.

Classic colors

Real lugs, real steel

Available today

The Master is the only bike model that has been so consistently good, so ahead of it’s time, that it has been relatively unchanged and continuously available for over 30 years.  The paint and construction style makes it a work of art.  The diamond-shaped steel tubing still rides terrific (the modern tubing even weighs less than the original Gilco pipes).  Still made in Italy, still one of the best around.  Available in 1cm size increments from 46cm to 64cm.

Colnago C60

Colnago C60 with Shimano Dur-Ace Electronic

The best bike.

O.K.  I know we said that the Colnago C59 was the best road bike ever made, but this bike is one more better.

Usually the flagship Colnago can be considered the bicycle equivilant of a beautiful Italian underwear model.  They are intimidating, stunning to look at and um, ride.  The C60 is kind of like that, only this model happens to have a masters degree from Stanford and knows how to cook too.

c60 front end

Frame detail

The C60 in white

The C60 rides and handles perfectly, just like the C59, but with just a touch less twisting in the front end.  The bottom bracket and the rear end of the bike feel just a touch springier.   The C59 was incredibly light, but this one is a quarter pound lighter still.  With the unusual tubing and lug shapes, Colnago doesn’t have to rely just on adhesives in the carbon to keep the frame from twisting, as the shaped lugs do the work here too.

The bicycle equivalent of a Ferrari (actually type “Ferrari” and “Colnago” into Google and see what I mean), the C60 will feel solid and sure on the scariest roads.  Colnago knows that in order to be fast, a bike must be comfortable enough to ride for hours and inspire confidence (not trepidation) when it comes to high speeds, turns and descents.   The C60 handles like a dream, is light as a feather, and pretty enough to sit in the living room instead of the garage.

These bikes come in 1cm size increments, ten different paint schemes, and with any components that you desire.  Come on in today and we can one started for you.

Lynskey Touring

Lynskey Backroads

Lynskey is custom titanium.  If you can imagine it, they can build it.  Want curved tubes?  No problem.  Custom kickstand mount?  O.K.   Paint?  Bare titanium?  Polished Ti?  You got it.

The Lynskey Backroad touring frame is designed for fully loaded, self-supported, transcontinental touring and takes full advantage of current component innovation (disc brakes).  Disc brakes stop more reliably than standard touring cantilevers or V-brakes, and they stop reliably even in wet weather or with broken spokes.

Custom Lynskey touring

Disc brakes or rim brakes

Internal wiring for rear light

The Lynskey family began as Litespeed years ago, and now sell their bikes under the family name.  We stock a handful of their bikes for you to ride, and can help you design the custom bike of your dreams.

S&S couplers, internal wiring ports for generator lights and Di2 shifting can be added to Lynskey touring frames for added versatility.

Lynskey Cooper

Lynskey Cooper

The Cooper gives you the top level performance of a Lynskey road race frame, but at a more manageable price. By starting with an oversized cold-worked tubeset, the Cooper has great stiffness, handling and excellent ride quality.  The Cooper is a great pick for century rides, gran fondos, and Cat. 4 racing.

The Cooper’s performance far exceeds many similarly priced road frames no matter what material they are made from. All of the great features you expect from a Lynskey Performance road frame, but at a value that will make others jealous.

Custom options available include a variety of frame finishes, and S & S travel couplings.

Every Lynskey frame is hand-made in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

R230 with Di2

The R230 was designed specifically for the rider who wants a do-all, multi-use road frame. The oversized downtube offers exceptional stiffness along with confident handling. The semi-compact geometry provides plenty of stand-over height and a rider position suitable for all day rides or competitive events. By curving and ovalizing the seat stays, an added level of rider comfort has been designed into this frame without sacrificing performance.

The R230 is the perfect frame for the club rider looking to take their riding to the next level and for the enthusiast with more spirited or aggressive riding style. The force-specific shaping in the main triangle allows a firm bottom bracket and front end for excellent acceleration, climbing and high-speed stability. The competition-tuned rear triangle on the R230 provides a balance of stiffness and comfort. Throw a leg over the R230 and understand what performance titanium is all about.

Custom options to consider:  S & S travel couplings, custom sizing if necessary, and a variety of frame finish options.

Inglis and Retrotec road

Retrotec Twin

Curtis Inglis makes cool and affordable road bikes in steel.

Customizable to an outrageous degree, you’ll have to pick from straight or curved tubing, steel or carbon forks and seatstays, fillet brazed, lugged, or tig welded construction, and the color.

Rack (and fender mounts) are not a problem.  Feel like traveling?  S & S couplings can be added to your bike frame that will make it come apart to fit into a suitcase.

Retrotec Half (frame style)

S & S couplers

Inglis Road, lugged construction

How cool is this?

Paul with Curtis and the Classic bike

Prices are pretty competitive, with tig welded frames starting at $1500.

Keep in mind that a custom bike takes a bit of time to produce, typically three to six months.  If you want one of these, we’ll make you sign a no-whine agreement that you will be patient for at least three months.

Lynskey Helix & Helix OS

Helix built with Sram Force

Helix with black decals

Square.  Twisty.  Licorice shape.  The spiral helical tubing sets the Helix apart from conventional frame designs by adding significant stiffness and resistance to sideways torque without adding additional weight.    Plus, it looks awesome. 

The Helix and Helix OS showcase what titanium can really do.  As light as top end carbon, but with the springy feel, dazzling looks, and the thousand year lifespan that you only get from titanium. 

The Helix OS differs from the standard Helix in the bottom bracket and fork areas.   The OS uses the oversized BB30 crank interface, and the oversized headtube with an internal headset and tapered fork.  The bike will end up slightly stiffer and more responsive than the standard version, and should save you close to a half pound given the differences in crank and fork weights.

Lynskey began as Litespeed years ago, and now sell their bikes under the family name. 

That's a lucky shamrock on the dropout

That's just twisted!
