The batteries are replaceable and the lights are water resistant. Only $7.

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…

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.

2012 “Classic” Retrotec

“Classic” Bike, built by Curtis Inglis of Retrotec

This bike is not old…. It’s Classic.

Curtis Inglis builds wonderful steel bikes in his Napa, California workshop.  If you want a hand-crafted bike with custom touches, an Inglis should be at the top of your list.  For curvy-tubed bicycle goodness, Curtis and his Retrotec label should be your only consideration.

Retrotec was founded by Robert Seals, the godfather of the modern multi-function bike tool (he invented the Cool Tool, patented in 1990).  For his Retrotecs, Bob resurected the old Schwinn cantilever frame style.  Curtis, who worked for Bob back in the 1990s, took over the Retrotec name in 2001 and expanded the number of available styles, and they’re all cool.

Note the Ritchey "Classic" stem

When going custom, why not put your name on it?

Inglis' fillet brazed construction is perfection

Wanting a modern “Classic” that would be at home within our museum collection, we asked Curtis to show us his best work.  Fine fillet brazed joints, expertly curved tubing, and sparkly green custom paint make this a bike as impressive as anything on our walls.

XTR brakes with cooling fins on the brake pads, Ti bolts

Retrotec Triple model

The XTR group is museum worthy itself.

The parts show off  classic design cues and modern materials.  Shimano’s XTR group is the best available today, and looks great with the gold chain and cables.  A green Brooks saddle was a natural choice, as were the Portland-made Chris King headset and bottom bracket.  We had to use the Ritchey “Classic” seatpost and stem, as they inspired us to build this bike in the first place.

Inglis' shop, with bikes in various stages of production

Bikes look very different without all of the paint...

A trip down to California for a friend’s wedding coincidently put Jaime and Paul in Curtis’s workshop during construction of the Classic Bike.

This bike isn’t just for show. It’s for sale. Modern mountain bike performance and Classic style for $5499.
