Becca was beyond patient as we awaited bits and pieces to complete this custom Focus Cayo build for her.
As a triathlete, she needed something built for speed with the ability to train on it while also being race day ready. With Shawn’s guidance she got the highest performing equipment at the lowest cost. Coming in at 16.8lbs, it checks all the boxes.
With @campagnolosrl, @3tbike, and @vittoriatires bits, it’s a speed machine. Don’t blink or you’ll miss the flash of yellow as she leaves you in the dust…
It was a pleasure meeting you and dialing in your new ride! #loosespokesbikeshop #focuscayo #triathlon #campagnolo
I have to extend a huge THANK YOU to our new friend Nick Lennon. He came by a while back and trusted us to restore his 1975 Motobecane to its original glory.
This is one of many things I love about bicycles - taking these pieces of pride and sentiment and making them work better than new in many cases. These machines create memories and we are here to allow this machine to create many, many more. Nick is departing in August on a bicycle tour with a friend he’s had since he first got the bike in 1975.
This Motobecane Grand Jubile was built in France with mostly French built components. Grand Jubile refers to Motobecane’s 50th year in business. Although it was originally Dura Ace equipped, he used this bike as it was intended and ended up needing to replace components here and there. He used the bicycle for what it was intended and will continue to for decades to come…
We want to thank you, Nick for allowing us to do this and we wish you happy trails on your trip!

Ralph picked up this Schwinn Leader new back in 1951. Like many of us, he took his bike apart and put it back together, often in different orientations…
In this orientation he flipped the frame upside down, built a stilt for his saddle and made a custom handlebar supported with some wood. He was getting vertical and smashed a curb with his front wheel. He was okay, but that wheel was far from okay.
Fast forward 63 years, Ralph has some time now to fix some things from his past and comes to the shop to find a matching rim. We got him the rim and started in on the build. We built both wheels with polished brass nipples and new old stock zinc plated spokes. The rims were repainted and pinstriped, frame and fork were repainted with the original graphics, and all the bearing surfaces were cleaned and repacked. After a few more new old stock bits and pieces we have this - Ralph’s restored 1951 Schwinn Leader (in the upright orientation). It was an honor working with you, Ralph!

It’s good to see a spattering of KHS roll in…
We’ve been waiting for the 6600 in the “Raisin” color way (AKA Purple Haze) for about a year and it has finally arrived.
This bad boy comes equipped with SLX 1x12, Fox Rhythm 36 150mm fork, Fox Float 130mm shock, and countless other brilliant features such as the FSA ACR headset which keeps the cables and hydraulic lines far from the elements. Not to mention the free lifetime adjustments through your favorite shop! We have a small (pictured), medium, and a large available now! Don’t wait long, people are going to be taking these home just for the paint job…

Happy (belated) Birthday to Anna! ๐ฅณ ๐ ๐
She brought 1940s Roadmaster in awhile back which she picked up for next to nothing and something about it caught her eye. She had heard from a client that we did restorative work… she brought it to us and we assured her she found a gem. After our overhaul and a polish, it was a road worthy Roadmaster once again!
Thank you Anna for trusting us with this project and being as patient as you were. We’ll look forward to seeing you out and about on the Bumblebee bike for years to come! Ride on!

Yeah… this one was rough but it cleaned up nice and rolls smooth as butter! A classic revived.

The 60s and 70s for Schwinn were the best years, undoubtedly. They always clean up and ride smooth when you give them that TLC.
I told Jacob that it would be a fun one and as he rolled it in he says: “Oh you’re quite the comedian…” But little did he know that it would come out this shiny. I don’t think the owner, Max, knew either. He was extremely pumped to get his bike back and get cruising! ๐ด๐ฝ๐จ

Early 90s @noleenj6tech Mega Air rebuild. Made in USA ๐บ๐ธ Fresh seals and oil makes for a beautiful little retro rear shock. Stay tuned for the complete build. ๐๐ฝ#loosespokesbikeshop #noleen #noleenj6 #k2 #k2mtb #madeintheusa
David couldn’t be happier with his custom Colnago C64! The color scheme is a combination of team colors from two race teams he raced for. 16.5 lbs was including power meter pedals... FYI. We were honored to complete this build - happy riding! #colnago #colnagoc64 #colnagoworld @colnagoworld #loosespokesbikeshop #campagnolo #campagnolorecord @campagnolosrl
