The Radavist

With its assets just auctioned off in October, TPC is back under new ownership with the message:

“We took a bit of a spill, but TPC is back on track to being the destination for selling and buying pre-owned bikes. It will be a bit before we have bikes for sale, but our doors are open for sellers. If you have something to sell, please visit our Sell/Trade page and submit any bikes, frames, or wheels.”

Elshair Companies, a private investment firm, bought The Pro’s Closet (TPC) brand and its intellectual property and has hired former employees to lead them into the next stage of the online used bike selling platform.

We’ll update this post as events warrant.

After rumors have been circulating, The Pro’s Closet just announced its closure in October. Read on for the brand’s press release…

Last year, The Pro’s Closet approached Mosaic Cycles, another Boulder-area company, to collaborate on some special edition, made in Colorado titanium bikes. We already looked at The Radavist editions in detail this morning, so let’s take a quick look at The Pro’s Closet’s builds!

Perhaps you’ve heard of Yeti Cycles? Well, John Parker is the guy who got that company rolling. Check out the latest from the Pro’s Closet interviews!

The Pro’s Closet always brings such great interviews. This time with two-time National Downhill Champion Greg Herbold, who takes us through the technical aspects of his race winning bike as well as the the challenges downhill racers faced in the early 90’s…like hard-tails, tension disks, and peddling uphill!

Salsa wasn’t always a QBP brand. Here the Pro’s Closet interviews the originator of Salsa, Ross Shafer!

I’m loving all these vintage MTB-related interviews the Pro’s Closet has been conducting. Here’s the latest, featuring Ned Overend were he talks about the early days of professional mountain bike racing, dueling with John Tomac, and the tension disc.

Joe Breeze is regarded as the maker of the first purpose-built mountain bike and in this episode of the Pro’s Closet Museum Series, Joe discusses the evolution of the mountain bike. Beginning with the inspiration of his Schwinn Excelsior klunker to the nickel-plated Breezer Series 3.

You’re gonna be seeing a lot of Chris Chance and Fat Chance over the next few weeks:

“The Pro’s Closet caught up with Chris Chance at the “Mountain Bike Hall of Fame” in the spring of 2015. In this mini-doc, Chris describes the early days of Fat Chance, the forces that pulled him away from the bicycle world, and the passion that led him back!”

Boulder, Colorado’s The Pro’s Closet has a veritable vintage mountain bike collection on display, including this ’90 Yeti FRO, build with Campagnolo components. In this video, Juli talks about her career, what matters to her in a mountain bike and what this bike represents.

Today, Brian ‘Safa’ Wagner, cyclist and filmmaker, announced in a video on his YouTube channel that he and two of his talented friends—Alex Colorito (videographer) and Taylor Dawson (cyclist)—are departing on Saturday (July 2, 2023) for a European bike adventure. Over ten days, the crew will enjoy a route that crosses the Pyrenees and includes a total distance of 1,000 kilometers and 22,000 meters of climbing. They will depart from San Sebastian, Spain—one day after the Tour de France Grand Départ—pedal over iconic cols and mountain passes in France, through Andorra, and then descend into Barcelona to complete their route.
