The TBE crew is super excited to announce that we will be sponsoring world-class Ironman Triathlete (and Frederick, MD resident) Herb Spicer in 2008.
The other day we received a shipment of Tomicogs. For those of you who don’t know, Tomicogs are fixed gear cogs that install on a disc hub’s 6-bolt (ISO) mounts.
It was nice to see so many friendly faces at the 2008 Stop, Swap, and Save event this past weekend in Westminster. This year we brought back the super popular “Wheel Game” and many of you left The Bicycle Escape booth with cool prizes.
The Bicycle Escape just can't seem to get enough of recycling old bike parts. Our latest installment is tap handles. Since there is a lot of riders that home brew it is only natural that bike parts be used as tap handles.
I have always admired frames built in the lugged tradition. Their timeless beauty, durability, and ride quality are exceptional
Weight weenies of the world The Bicycle Escape has your back. We are in the process of building a bicycle weight index. The index will include weights that are recorded in our shop on our digital scale.
With temps hovering around 70 degrees I felt compelled to go for a cycle. I rode by an old, and now deteriorating building that I have always wanted to photograph and today I did just that.
Over the past few months Ryan, one of the guys here at the shop, has been painstakingly piecing together a Black Market MOB frame. No part was installed without consideration. The culmination of Ryan's efforts is a 28.76 pound beauty.
Yesterday, The Bicycle Escape welcomed a longtime friend and world class mechanic Adam Piece into the TBE clan. You might know him as “the guy who can bunny hop that log at Schaeffer Farms” or “the guy that tuned my suspension fork” or “the jerk that cut me off in his Nissan” but we know him as Adam.
This bright and cheery 29er was built as a demo bike and to be enjoyed by Crazy-Danielle. The 16” built bike weighs 26.69 lbs and has custom blue pin striping on the Fox F-29 fork.
