all city nature boy

All-city_Natureboy-PINP-thumbThe Nature Boy is the single speed cross racing monster from All-City.  It was named after a Minnesota professional wrestling legend and carries all of the AC hallmarks that you’ve come to love: straight blade fork, classic paint, custom dropouts, and signature headbadge.  It was designed primarily as a race rig, but since we knew that many of you out there would be using this thing for every day life, we built in additional features to make it more versatile.

You’ll find hidden fender mounts, two sets of bottle bosses (reinforced of course), removeable canti studs, fat tire clearance, and a steel fork that is easily swapped for a carbon model should you want to lighten up for race season.

Race the crap out of it, ride singletrack, gravel, or commute until your heart’s content.

Now in Stock.

2010 Black Market Killswitch in da house!!!!

IMG_1020 The rumors are true, Black market bicycles made a full suspension frame called the killswitch. We got two of these bad boys to build up for some local riders, and both of them are stoked!!! Big thanks to Mondo over @ BM for working with us on getting these sweet frames that are in high demand. The killswitch is a 4 inch travel frame, that comes with a customed valved xfusion shock,seat collar, and headset for $1399. The one in the pic has a fox 831 that matches very well with the rear, profile cranks, hope/mavic wheels, saint brakes, and set up single speed. If I was building it up for myself, it would pretty much be the same. The guys  who had us build these (Manny and Scott) were nice enough to let us rip these steeds around the pumptrack. First ride around the track the bike feels so predictable, It rails in the burms, jumps very easy, and just feels like a solid whip. I can only imagine how nice this bike will execute the big jumps.  If anyone is interested Let us know, and we can try to obtain one of these super radical frames for you. The two guys that got these from us are way better riders since they got them,have gotten much better looking, and much more popular with the ladies. So, think about that for a while…..

Salsa el mariachi titanium

bikes_elmariachiTi1-500pxx372Santa Comes Early…Says All Rage Boys and Girls Not Naughty!!!!!

Yes, Santa, disguised as a UPS driver named Tom, left a Beautiful gift….a brand  new Salsa El Mariachi Titanium frame. You should come and look at it …soon!

El Mariachi Ti Frame

We first introduced our steel El Mariachi in 2007, and riders have given it rave reviews ever since.

The El Mariachi Ti takes that same great performance, and improves upon it by crafting it from 3/2.5 seamless titanium.  Titanium offers a truly unique balance of strength, low weight, stiffness, vibration damping, and durability.

The combination of this Ti tubing, Salsa geometry, and big wheels deliver a smooth ride on root and rock-strewn singletrack.

Whether you’re putting on the big boy (or girl) pants and taking on that NUE-series 100-miler, or just joining your local crew for an all-day trail riding beatdown, the El Mariachi Ti will keep you coming back for another delicious serving of dirt.

Spot!

Donald on the new Spot!Perhaps the most fascinating products I’ve seen at the show so far are the Spot belt-drive bikes. Spot brought 40 belt drive bikes to the outdoor demo and folks were riding around in them all day in the desert conditions. The feedback was very positive so I paid Spot a visit to get a deeper understanding of this new drivetrain.

Why now?

Folks have been dreaming about belt-drive for years. It has never come to fruition until now since a suitable belt has not been available until last year. Josh Ogle from Jericho made a big splash a few years ago when he showed off to Interbike with a belt-drive bike. But, the drivetrain was not reliable because there was no available belt ready to take the forces of the bike. But finally, a company called Gates Corporation released their belt drive system for bikes called the ‘Poly Chain Carbon Belt Drive System’

More info: http://www.gatesprograms.com/carbon/

The advantages of a belt drive system are low weight, noise and maintence. The weight of the belt is about 55 grams while a typical chain of the same length is about 255 grams. The system should be quieter as it experiences no squeaks, pops and rattles. And finally, the belt never needs to be oiled. It is more durable than a chain and never stretches. It’s lifespan is around 8000 miles.

On the minus side, no derailleur is possible with a belt drive so applications are limited to singlespeed and internal gear hub systems. Another difficulty is the frame needs to be specially designed for this system and allow a break in the chainstay. Since the belt cannot be broken, the frame needs to allow inserting of the belt in the chainstay. Finally, a belt drive system like this limits the user to very few sources for front and rear ‘belt wheels and cogs’.

2010 titus carbon x

xcarbon_black_34backPeople sometimes ask the reasons we’ve carried Titus bikes all these years. Is it because they’re local? Is it that they’re US built? Is it the refined 4 bar linkage ride? Yeah, sure, all those reasons, but really? It’s that they make some of the sickest looking bikes on the market today……and we’ve got them now!
