Daily Bike: Sam’s Surly Krampus
Posted by revolutioncyclesmadison under Adventure, Daily Bike, Mountain Bike, Revolution CyclesLeave a Comment
Yes! This bike rules. The 29+ category is gaining momentum especially with the growth in populairty of the fat bike. Sam built this with some choice American made parts: Phil Wood single speed hubs, Thomson seatpost and stem, White Industries Dos chainring/crank and freewheel.
There are two gears on this thing: one for the trail and the other for the street. Must feel great to have your dream bike, enjoy Sam!

Bern Sessions New York: Part 1 “Squid” from Bern Unlimited on Vimeo.
This is why I work in this industry. Cycling is such an amazing thing. It helps build communitites, creates an independance from fossil fuels, and is great for our health. I give so much respect to people like Squid who has never given up on making cycling more accessible to people. I’ve been following him since I got into cycling 8 years ago and it’s so great that he is still an honorable advocate for cycling. So many great points stated here. Cycling is so much more accessible now than ever, take advantage of it!
This is Revolution Cycles exists, to get people excited to ride bikes and help in any way possible. On a selling point, we have a bunch of new helmets in from Giro, Bell, and Bern!

Gather some people you like to spend time with, grab your bike, and go some place beautiful to have a campfire and an amazing time. This is a recipe that will not fail.

Daily Bike: Cherie’s Trek Touring
Posted by revolutioncyclesmadison under Daily BikeLeave a Comment
Cherie picked up this beauty at the last Madison bike swap and had consulted me on whether or not it was worth purchasing. I said with a definite “yes!” I’m a big fan of old lugged Treks. They were made very well and right here in Wisconsin. She wanted us to tune it up and change some parts out. So we threw on a springy Brooks saddle, SKS longboard fenders, with a Nitto Technomic Stem and Mustache bars. The bike looks and rides great!

Can’t wait to get into issue no.2! I’ve been trying to ride as much as I can in between the rainy parts. Rode around with a friend last night through dirt trails around town in the rain. We had a blast! What’s your adventure?
