SURLY

"If you like the way your bike rides, it’s an awesome bike."  --From Surly's website

Surly offers about 20 different bicycles (see them here).

We carry most of them in stock (and have many sizes of each).

It might be easy to mistake the brand for cantankerous champions of outdated steel bikes, but in truth Surly is a pioneer. They produce some of the toughest, most reliable, functional, and fun bikes out there. They don't hype you up and they don't put stuff on your bike that you don't need.

Surlys are easy to customize, too, so you can make your bike do and be exactly what you want it to do/be (do-bee do-bee doo).

SALSA

As you may know, Salsa's motto is "adventure by bike." What does that mean? It can be difficult to describe, because adventure means different things to different people. Some people consider adventure to be spending months on their bikes, traversing a country. For others, adventure is a full day at Buff Creek. Saying "adventure by bike" is a little bit like saying "adventure by pants." You can adventure in almost any kind of pants. Obviously, some pants are better than others if adventuring in pants is your thing. And that's where Salsa comes in.

We like adventures. As a shop, we've been fortunate to have some grand adventures both big and small. We're excited to add Salsa to our lineup because they'll nicely compliment what we already carry, and help support the part of the shop that is oriented toward adventure.

You can see Salsa's current lineup on their website here, and you can read our blog post about Salsa here.

Wilde

Wilde makes exquisite, premium steel and titanium bikes. Some of them are US-made, and others are imported in order to make them more affordable. They’re a small and ethical company that’s doing a lot of things right, and well.

Here’s an excerpt from Wilde’s website: “Greetings, my name is Jeffrey Frane and Wilde is the chance to put all of my heart, soul, knowledge, experience, and passion into creating the finest bicycles I possibly can according to my long held beliefs and values.

I like my bikes fast, innovative, honest and versatile. I believe that in many cases it is possible for a bike to do many things, and do them all well. I believe in the power of community, and I believe that we all owe it to the coming generations to spend our time on Earth trying to leave things better than we found them and to bring as much joy as possible to others along the way. I love all forms of cycling and believe that bikes have the power to change lives.”

Fairdale

These bikes are awesome for urban and gravel rides. These durable steel bikes are fun to ride just about anywhere.

BENNO

Benno coined the term “e-utility,” because they’re designed to be comfortable and functional. These bikes are grocery-getting, child-hauling, beer-running, two-wheeled pickup trucks. They also make excellent commuters and can replace car trips downtown where parking can be impossible. Ze Germans have thought of everything, and made some very comfy, safe, and reliable e-bikes.
