Just got done dressing up this vintage GT Avalanche frame with some classic anodized parts we had laying around: Paul brakes, Ultimate Machine cranks and top cap, White Brothers fork, GT branded Hadley hubs to anodized Mavic SUP 217 rims and a Shimano XT 8 speed drivetrain. It's hanging up on the shop wall, come check it out! . . . . . #vintagemtb #classicmtb #anodized #ultimatemachine #gtbikes #mountainbike #hardtailmtb #bike #bicycle #cyclingshots #mtb #whitebrothers #oldschool #sanmarcostexas #smtxperience #78666 #trailbikes #trailbike #singletrack
Showing off one of the newer additions to the shop bike wall: This Wicked Fat Chance, complete with original XT drivetrain, Ritchey Vantage to XT wheels and FAT Chance saddle and stem. We kept it as original as possible, and threw on a set of new Panaracer Dart/Smoke tires, Oury grips and a Ringle bottle cage to keep that late 80s/early 90s MTB vibe correct. The pictures just don't do the color-shifting pearlescent paint justice... 😭 . Anyways, we love bikes like this. There's nothing quite like an expertly built steel frame, and when we have the chance to add rides like this to our wall, it's a no brainer. Something about shredding trail on a rigid steel hardtail is just so damn FUN! . . . . . . . #steelmtb #steelisreal #classicmtb #vintagemtb #bike #cycling #mountainbike #fatchance #wickedfatchance #hardtailmtb #madeinamerica #usamade #bicycle #trailbike #baaw #cyclingshots #smtx #78666 #smtxperience #txst #texasstate

Another unique build we did last week: this frame-up overhaul of a 2001 Specialized Hard Rock. Almost every part of the bike was replaced and modernized. . Build list includes a Rock Shox Reba fork (NOS), Shimano LX hydraulic disc brake up front, XT 11 speed drivetrain, XT front hub laced to a Sun RhynoLite rim, Maxxis Ikon tubeless tires, Shimano rear V-brake with Avid FR5 lever, Race Face Chester pedals, Straitline stem, Wolf Tooth Fat Paw grips, and a WTB Speed V saddle. . . . . . #vintagemtb #classicmtb #hardtailmtb #hardtail #custombicycle #wheelbuild #trailtuesday #trailbike #transformationtuesday #sanmarcostexas #sanmarvelous #smtx #txst #texasstateuniversity #baaw #bike #cyclingshots #bicycle #specializedbikes #specialized
We had @lukedoesnotusethisapp's bike in last week for some work (new XX1 cranks, KMC chain and brakes). You might recognize the wheels from a previous post - he had us build this wheelset a few months ago (custom engraved Onyx hubs laced to some Whisky carbon rims). Looking good! . . . . . #fullsuspension #trailbikes #salsabikes#salsacycles #texasstateuniversity #texasstate#txst #sanmarcostexas #smtx #78666 #racebike #xx1#teravail #mtb #mountainbike #baaw#trailbike #singletrack #supportlocal#localbusiness #bicycle #bike #cycling #kcnc #carbonmtb #carbonbike
We have a really cool before and after album to show you today for #transformationtuesday! This beautiful vintage Allegro road bike came in, and had been sitting for quite some time. It needed a lot of love, so we did a full teardown and rebuild using most of the original parts. . Careful to maintain the patina that developed on the frame over time, we cleaned the bike thoroughly, gave it a vintage Turbo saddle, new housing, cables, brake pads, hoods, chain, cloth bar tape, and more. We rebuilt the original Campagnolo Record hubs to some high polish Velo Orange rims, and added some Continental Grand Prix Classic tires to keep the theme consistent. We even cleaned and realigned the original tire wipers (a classic piece you rarely see these days). Now, it's ready to ride again! . . . . . #steelbike #steelisreal #campagnolo #nuovorecord #vintagebike #luggedsteel #classicbike #baaw #cyclingshots #beforeandafter #steelroadbike #allegro #bici #sanmarcostexas #texasstateuniversity #veloorange #vintagesteel #luggedbike #bellissima
New arrival: this 2019 Kona Rove ST in Gloss Racing Green, looking clean with the Copper decals. One of our favorite gravel bikes, it's got a beautiful steel frame and fork, a Rival 1 11 speed drivetrain, TRP Spyre flat mount disc brakes and 650b wheels with 47c WTB Horizon tires 😍😍😍 . . . . #cxbike #commuterbike #allroad #konabikes #roadbike#biketouring #1x11#bikesanmarcos #smtx #txst #texasstate #bike#bicycle #cycling #bikesofinstagram #steelbike#pedalroom #cyclingshots #rovest #steelisreal #cyclocross #green #sram #baaw
🚨 new bike alert 🚨 . Just in! The brand new 2019 All-City Electric Queen in "Cyan Splatter" 😮 . One of our favorite steel bikes got even better, with a new SRAM NX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain. Lucky for you, we've got it in stock, so stop by and check it out! . . . . . #mountainbikemonday #steelmtb #steelisreal #steelbike #electricqueen #allcity #mtb #hardtail #txst #smtx #smtxperience #graffiti #baaw #cyclingshots #mountainbike #neon #sanmarcostexas #sanmarvelous #bike #bicycle #cycling #sendit #singletrack
Here's a time capsule bike that came through the shop this weekend: this vintage Fuji Mt. Fuji LTD 🤤 . Look at that drivetrain. It seriously looks like it's never been ridden. The cassette looks like it just came straight out of the box. It's about as mint as a 25+ year old bike can possibly be. Full XT, Ritchey brakes, levers, bars and stem. Mavic m231 rims to XT hubs. Tires and saddle are the only non original parts on the bike. . . . #vintagemtb #vintage #classicmtb #classicbicycle #steelmtb #steelbikesunday #steeisreal #smtx #sanmarcostexas #smtxperience #texasstate #txst #baaw #cycling #bike #fujibikes #fuji #mountainbike #mtb #neon #78666
This Momentum commuter was a special order for a customer in an awesome new color 🤤 . We love these bikes because they are perfect for getting around town, and come with a built-in lock holder and cup holder, rack, fenders, kickstand and a bell. Plenty of gears to get you up the hill to class or to HEB for groceries. So cool! . . . . . #sanmarvelous #texasstateuniversity #txst #texasstate #smtx #smtxperience #bike #cycling #baaw #sanmarcostx #alley #bikecommute #commutebybike #commuterbike #bikescandothat
