Speedvagen Garage Sale

Speedvagen has unearthed some new old stock steel.

Recently Speedvagen moved its shop, and in doing so, they unearthed some raw frames from our warehouse. Included are everything from Ready Made Urban Recer frames, GTFOs, rim brake road bikes, and a few custom frames. Mostly steel and a few titanium!  As they don’t want these hanging out to be forgotten about again in the warehouse, they are ready to let them go for some pretty dang amazing prices.

The Paint Program.

To prevent a paint shop bottleneck, they are offering these in only one paint option. Any frames listed below can be finished with a one-color SV Scheme in the SV heritage colors or the brand’s new 2023 palette.

Esker Announces Singlespeed Hayduke and Japhy Builds $2,850

That’s right, Esker now offers both the Hayduke and the Japhy in singlespeed builds. Simply go to the model pages and select “Singlespeed” under the build kit offerings, which come in at $2,850 for both models.

Ibex’s Lightweight Sun Hoodies $145

Since John got diagnosed with skin cancer last year, he’s been cautious about UV exposure, and while everyone might not live at 7,000′, the sun can damage you while you’re out riding all day. He’s been testing out several sun hoodies from many outdoor brands and has landed on a favorite: the Ibex Sun Hoodie.

These ultralight hoodies can be worn under or over your helmet to keep the sun off your neck and ears, feature thumb loops, and are made from a blend of merino wool and Tencel which means they won’t stink like death after a long day out, will wick moisture–even in the driest of climates, is fast drying, and more durable than traditional merino tops.

Check out the Sun Hoodie for men and women at Ibex.

For MTB-adventurer/artist Tito Tomasi, Nepal had peaked his must-see list for a long time, and it was time for some action…
