Used Colnago steel road bike

Used Colnago $1499

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

This frame was a trade-in. It was made in the mid ’90′s of Columbus cromoly steel tubing, and it will fit a rider in the 5’7″ to 5’10″ height range quite well.

We built the bike with a mix of Campagnolo Chorus, Centaur and Record equipment, it has hand built wheels made from Mavic CXP21 rims and Campy hubs. An FSA carbon seatpost holds up the Selle San Marco Regal saddle and you get a Cinelli carbon stem securing the handlebar. While it looks like a bit of a vintage ride, the materials and design are quite modern.

You get a threadless fork and headset (that look old-fashioned) gearing that 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.

Ritchey Ultra $1799

Ritchey Ultra $1799

Ready for adventure

Ready for luggage

One of the big draws for selling a vintage bike around here is the idea that it came from someplace else (someplace that’s dry). This Ritchey is from Santa Fe.

The frame is a 19” size and will fit someone 5’8” to 5’10” tall the best. $1799.

1985 Schwinn Cimarron touring bike

1985 Schwinn Cimarron $1199

Schwinn was ahead of their time. Way back in 1985 they advertised this bike not as a “Mountain Bike” or an “ATB” (All-Terrain Bike), but as a touring bike. Thirty-five years later the bicycle world is awash with bike-packing-gravel-adventure bikes, so the moment is probably just right to update this machine and sell it as the latest and greatest touring bike! In 1985 Schwinn’s ad copy called their Cimarron model an “Outstanding touring bike outfitted with the world’s finest components.” This bike was out of style for awhile, but it’s outfitted with the finest parts once again.

Leather touring saddle

Original equipment dating back to the 1980’s include the Suntour XC Pro seatpost and pedals, the Nitto “Bullmoose” handlebar, Shimano Deore XT front derailleur, crank arms and brakes (updated with modern cables and Kool-Stop pads). The frame features sweet riding butted cromoly steel which was made in America, and the whole package rolls around on vintage Araya rims (re-laced with fresh spokes).

2 x 10 Deore XT drivetrain

Wavy aluminum fenders

The drivetrain has been modernized to a new Deore XT 2 x 10 system (that we can make a 3 x 10 if you prefer). You get retro-styled (but modern) 10-speed thumbshifters, a modern chain, a cartridge bottom bracket, 12-36 cassette along with new Velo Orange “Drillium” chainrings.

The Aluminum fenders and slick luggage racks are made by Velo Orange, the tires are new ones from WTB, and the new leather touring saddle will be customized to you once you break it in.

This bike will work best for someone between 5’5” and 5’8” tall, and can be all yours for $1199. If nobody out there grabs this old Schwinn I’m taking it home myself…

Used 61cm DeBernari Road Bike

61cm De Bernardi

How about a nice Italian road bike?

If you’re between 6’ and 6’4” tall, we have a good option for you. This is a DeBernardi road bike that was new sometime in the late 1980’s.

1940′s Colson Flyer

1940′s Colson Flyer

The restoration project.

Everybody loves good before and after photos.  A bicycle restoration project is great at showing the damage that the decades can do, and you get to watch as that damage is erased with fresh paint or new chrome.

A while back, this balloon-tire cruiser came to us as a rusty old relic.  The years were not kind to the old Colson.  While the rust was not deep, it was everywhere.  The owner, a fellow named Gerald Taylor, had a history with the bike and wanted to return the Flyer to its former glory.

Colson Flyer “before”

Gerald’s father had purchased the bike upon returning to the Seattle area from the second World War.  Affordable cars were hard to come by in the months following the end of the war, and Gerald’s father figured he could get around on these two wheels just as well as he could with four.  The bike served as a trusty commuter for a number of years before transitioning to recreational use, and finally retiring to the back of the garage.

The crankset “after”

The crankset “before”

The wheels were beyond repair.  By removing the head badge and the reflectors, we were able to find clean bits of original paint, so the new colors would match.  Parts were stripped off of the frame, and the dents were rolled out of the fenders.

Off to the painter (CycleSmith) went the frame, fork, fenders, and chainguard.

Into the recycling went the chain, pedals, and wheels.

The fenders “after”

The fenders “before”

Rusty bits like the chainring, seatpost, fork struts, handlebars and stem made their way to the chrome shop (Art’s chroming in Bremerton).

Some of the parts that you find on old bikes are still made today.  No problem getting a Wald kickstand, and the reproductions of the pedals and saddle are well worth the price.  Appropriate fasteners are just a quick trip to the hardware store (no allen bolts or torx heads on sixty year old bikes, thank you).

The head tube “after”

The head tube “before”

Jeff, who started collecting balloon-tire bikes decades ago, dug up some great matching wheels and tires from a “donor” bike.  Fresh grease for the hubs and some new spokes made them roll and look just right.

Now, I’d like to say this was a quick project.  But it wasn’t.

Sometimes it takes a while to find the right parts.  You have to get on a painter’s schedule (some have months-long backlogs), and it takes a while to get chrome done (Art’s is actually quite fast).  You may have seen the car and motorcycle restoration shows on television where things move lightning fast.  They use an editor.

The headlight “after”

The headlight “before”

I truly wish we were able to finish this bike sooner, as Gerald missed the opportunity to see his beautiful bike all spruced up.  Gerald fell ill and passed away a few weeks before we were able to finish the project.

The “After” photo is the way this bike would have looked when Gerald’s dad first brought it home.

This bike is for sale from the museum collection.  It can be yours, fully restored, for $1500.
