Nice Rack!

By jimc | Published: September 3, 2010

Our buddy (and crazy, bad-ass designer/mad scientist/builder), Jeff, recently built this extendo-rack for the front of Brie’s messenger bike.  I LOVE it!

Initial version…

And voila!  It extends an extra 9″ for large loads!

Here’s a view from the top.

Check out more of his amazing designs (including our bike racks in the shop) HERE.

No Goldsprints Tonight…

By jimc | Published: September 2, 2010

We’ve been super-busy with the planning for the BFF here in Santa Barbara.  (If you don’t know about the Bicycle Film Festival in SB, click HERE.)  We’re skipping first Thursday Goldsprints at the shop;  however, we will have the setup out at Elsie’s for the pre-party for the BFF on Friday the 17th!  They’ll be running drink specials for the BFF, too.  (Click HERE to see the rest of the schedule.)  Hope to see you there.  The picture below was taken by James Hanna at the last Goldsprints we ran Aug. 21st at Wheelhouse.

Wanna See the BFF in Santa Barbara?

By jimc | Published: August 30, 2010

You can finally get your tickets HERE (or just go to bicyclefilmfestival.com). Below is a comprehensive listing of the movies that will be shown during each of the screenings.

Because it’s our first year hosting the BFF, we get to play some of the greatest hits from previous years, including “Anima D’Acciaio (Soul of Steel)” – the story of the great Italian bike builder known as the “Ciocc”.
