BOTW - Bikes On The Wall

With a real small shop we run out of angles to photograph things from real quickly. More often than not, what ends up in the background in a wall covered in frames. Well, if you’ve ever wondered what the heck we’re doing with all these bikes- today’s your day! Here’s this week’s breakdown:

#1 Dan St. Germain‘s Geekhouse Rockcity of (Red Hook Crit flier fame).

#2 Aging Raleigh awaiting a Sugarcoat.

#3 Part-time Geekhouse welder Mike Salvatore AKA Salvatron AKA TRON also builds his own frames called ‘Sketchy Bikes’. Here we’ve got a Sketchy CX bike. Best brand name ever.

#4 Saila Bicycles by Lauren Trout also pops by once in a while for a little powder action. This is one of her track bikes- getting a Sugarcoat as well.

#5 IRO in for Sugarcoat. Antique White.

#6 Bianchi in for Sugarcoat. Smoke Grey.

#7 Schwinn Cutter for Sugarcoat; with the instructions: “Go nuts!”

#8 Pake with a fresh Sugarcoat for our friend Greg Waldo who was recently in an accident but is on the mend and getting ready to ride soon! YAY! Bradford dropped a beautiful brown/grey/purple-y powder on it yesterday and it came out fantastic!

Back to the Geekhouses!

#9 Jeremiah’s Mudville - awaiting some SRAM Red bits.

#10 Wormtown 29er for MTB Squad

#11 Erin’s Mudville (this one’s getting a sparkle pink, can’t wait to see that one!)

#12 Wormtown 29er for MTB Squad

Exciting stuff eh? In about a week or so there will be an entirely new wall of bikes. Watching the wall is a great way to get a read on what we’re doing. Stay tuned to Flickr for the finished builds, before and after Sugarcoat shots, and the final product of all this MTB chatter!

EM-TEE-BEE!

That’s a lotta Wormtown! We’re shawls deep, (yeah- we wear shawls when building bikes what of it?) in our forthcoming XC Mountain Bike Team. We’re building three 26” and three 29er hard tail mountain bikes. Drawing a few design cues from the CX tem ::cough cough:: NEON GREEN FRAMES ::cough cough:: they’ll be racing in the same kits as the ‘cross team and will shred through the wilderness this summer, all across New England, the way Mother Nature intended.

The bikes will be built out of True Temper OX Platinum, featuring bits and bobs from Paragon Machine Works, Chris King internal doo-dads, and components by all the usual suspects like Thomson, Velocity, and more. We’ve got our work cut out for us turning these buckets of steel into bikes somehow but we’ll find a way. Really looking forward to seeing neon kits around town again, you should be too!
