Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds
Day 7 - The Founder's Daily Driver
First off, I want to give a heartfelt apology to everyone who got bumped off the list by me getting my bike on here. I love all the bikes that we’re fortunate enough to build on a yearly basis and wish we had enough days to get them all up....

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds Day 6 - This One Goes Round and Round
We’ll admit it, we cheated a bit with this post. As you can tell by the group, the cockpit and the wheels, we did not build this Pegoretti in 2018. In fact, we didn’t even build it, though we wish we got to, if that counts for anything. This belongs...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds
Day 5 - A Snowy Steed
If the last two bikes seemed a bit classic for your tastes, this next bike might be a little more up your alley. The latest, Tour De France proven, Pinarello rocket ship is a fantastic take on the modern road racing bike. Wireless, electronic shifting, disc brakes, tubeless ready aero...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds: Day 4 - A Captivating Corretto
Shifting gears from Italian steel to Australian titanium, our fourth featured bike is this incredible example of a Baum Corretto. There aren't many color pairings as delight as blue and orange, and the selection here is a testament to that. While it's round tubes and cable driven derailleurs might seem traditional,...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds: Day 3 - Dario's Duende Legacy
On the heels of a sweet OPEN, Day three shows off a bike much more at home on the blacktop. The Piazza paint scheme on this Duende was one of the two last paint schemes that Dario designed so we didn’t have enough time to build this in a lot...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds: Day 2 - An AC Classic with a Twist
If we had a factory team right now, this could very well be our Works adventure race bike. Painted in Above Category black, white and blue and featuring as much componentry from our friends in Chicago and Indianapolis as is possible this bike is decked out with a SRAM Red...

Twelve Days of Breathtaking Builds Day 1 - A Passionate Pink GT-1
Starting out this year's Twelve, we have a not-so-standard GT-1 from Mosaic. The raw titanium finish accented prominently with the black powder-coated logos and matching headbadge. Tying in an auxiliary color came quickly in the design phase of this build, nicely nudged by the new Matte Punch headset, hubs, and...

It's Not Just All Ball Bearings Nowadays — CKPC Part II
Chris King bearings are the result of consistency and control; leaving nothing up to chance, they control the source of their balls (outsourced, but domestically produced, and of a precision grade that’s kept secret).

Bike of the Week: Red, U.P. and Blue
This week’s BOTW is a little different from the others as this one is not heading anywhere after this post. It’s actually our size small OPEN U.P. rental bike. The reason it made it to the page is because we take as much pride in the bikes that we put on...

Bike of the Week: A Multi-Purpose Mosaic
One bike to rule them all. A quiver killer, as they say. The ever coveted dream bike that can do so many things you wonder why you needed the six different ones currently sitting in your garage. Does such a bike really exist? It's a balance that can be much...
