Welcoming the Rain

This fall has been amazing. I hope everyone had a chance to get out and ride in the great weather.
Atlin and I finished up our first season of Cyclocross, if you haven't been out to a race and you don't have time for another hobby, heed this warning, DO NOT GO TO A CYCLOCROSS RACE! You will get hooked. If you need to see what I am talking about, these guys seem to do it the best http://pdxcross.com/. This is an addiction that isn't going away.

Also this could be really fun

If track racing is hipster NASCAR, then this represents those two guys duking it out behind the laundromat while Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise) is coming to terms with his injury and need to race in the movie "Days of Thunder." Freewheel and no brakes.

So I have to tell you about some other awesome things we have going in the store.
This is a Surly Long Haul Trucker we built as the perfect commuter.


Single ring in the front. Check out the chainguide.


Nine speeds in the back. Portlands relatively flat so this is going to get you where you need to go.


This bike comes with a Shimano Dyno Hub and Lighting system. The wheels are built with Mavic 719's super duty touring rims. If you are looking for a functional commuter with low maintenance then give this bike a try. $1250.00 if you are interested


Heard of Brooks saddles? Well we happened to get our little mitts on one very special edition.

This green Swallow is number #30 out of 100 produced, $265.00 and its yours







Check out all that nice British Leather. Rob Halford would be proud!

We are alive on the Internet

Yes 21st Avenue Bicycles has stepped into the digital age. Come into the store and feel the excitement.


Nash stopped by to spread some cheer. He's the King of Gorilla Glue.


Its a crisp clear November day outside, what a great day to be out on a bike.







The A-Team here at 21st is pumped on the weather, it takes just one look at their faces to feel the energy in the shop


Now for some product placement, looking for Pink Fizik handlebar tape? We have two left, no kidding. Fizik isn't making the stuff anymore.

There are all types of items and things we are going to be sharing with you. Stay tuned.
