June 3, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Back by popular demand is our EighthInch Conversion Hunt. The first conversion hunt was a huge success but unfortunately we could only have one winner. Now is your chance for redemption and an opportunity to win an EighthInch Essential Conversion Kit. The rules are simple, find an old beat up 10-speed in need of some work and post a picture of it on our Facebook page. At the end of the month we will choose our favorite frame/bike and give the lucky owner an EighthInch Essential Conversion Kit to help get them on the road. Good luck and happy hunting!

*To be compatible with our conversion kit the bike needs 700c/27″ wheels and a 68mm bottom bracket.

Deluxe Conversion Kits Are Back!

May 8, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This week we are bringing back our Deluxe Conversion Kits! Recently we sold through a lot of parts that made these kits possible, but with high demand we were able to come up with some combinations that will keep it alive until more parts show up. The Amelia wheels we

usually spec are sold out but we are now offering all of our machined front/non-machined rear color options. That means you can get a kit with white components and your choice of white, green, orange, purple, red, or blue wheels. We also have a gold kit paired with gold wheels. Check them out at WS-Outlet and pick a kit up.

Funbikes put a great video together from their third annual Garage Race. What can be more fun than racing your way down a parking garage on slick cement. It’s great to see events like this bringing bigger crowds every year. Seeing a handful of Scambler’s there is pretty cool too. Visit Funbikes website to see all they have to offer.

10 of the Worlds Coolest Bike Shops

May 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Cycling Tips just announced their list for “10 of the Worlds Coolest Bike Shops“. Obviously there were a lot of shops to choose from but I was glad to see a few that stood out in my mind on the list. One of those shops was 718 Cyclery in Brooklyn.  Joe and his team have been helping people fix their bikes or build up new ones for the past 5 years. With such a customer focused business model we’re happy to see Joe and the gang seeing so much success and notoriety. To learn more

about 718 Cyclery check out their short video “The Inverted Bike Shop” or stop in and visit if you find yourself in Brooklyn.

were busy all weekend and we watched dozens of custom bikes and conversion go out the door and hit the Milwaukee streets. Check out the photos below and see all of the photos from the weekend on our Flickr page.
