This Salsa Bucksaw came in a little while back for a major wheel upgrade. We built a set of Hope Pro 4 Fatsno hubs up to some Stan's Hugo rims and finished them off with a set of Maxxis Minion FB tires. So much tire on this trail slayer 🤤 . . . . . #texasstate #sanmarcostexas #mtb #trailbike #fatbike #bikepacking #txst #78666 #texasstateuniversity #mountainbike #bikesanmarcos #bike #salsacycles #salsabikes #bucksaw #trails #hopehubs #anodized #baaw #cyclingshots #cycling #singletrack #shoplocal #fullsuspension #fullsend

As the weather gets cooler and fall arrives in Central Texas, we wanted to look back and share some of the adventures that our friends had on their bikes this summer. We'll be posting a different story every day or two for the next week (or more?). Hit us up if we helped you get your bike ready for a summer adventure, and maybe we can share your story here too! . . Our Sales Associate Benny organized a "Just for Fun" Alleycat race earlier this month, giving away tons of great prizes including a variety of bags from @roadrunnerbags, along with locks, lights and other cool stuff. There was a great turnout, and some fun stops including kareoke at @buzzmillsmtx, laps on the BMX pump track, riding up to the top of Spring Lake, and extra "bonus" items to be found at each stop (like mini pinatas). @l4dyburger was the overall winner, and @wheelman_tx came in second, winning some super nice Road Runner backpacks with custom @thehubcyclerysm patches. And, since it was "just for fun", almost everyone who raced received a prize. Can't wait for the next one! . . . . #alleycat #bikerace #sanmarcos #smtx #smtxperience #texasstate #txst #texasstateuniversity #cyclingshots #bicycle #bike #summer #fun #sanmarcosriver #river #summer2018 #bikesofinstagram #cycling #party #sanmarcostx #steelisreal #steelbike
It's not often we can take bike pictures in the middle of Hopkins! We upgraded this Schwinn Mirada with a new wheelset and a 1x11 SLX drivetrain, making it into a great little steel commuter. . . . . . . #steelisreal #steelbike #sanmarcos #smtxperience #parade #1x11 #vintagebike #texasstate #txst #texasstateuniversity #downtownsmtx #cyclingshots #schwinn #smtx #sanmarcostx
New goodies for this Salsa Timberjack today: custom wheelset built with Stan's Sentry rims, Industry Nine hubs, Teravail Kennebec/Cumberland tires, and a RockShox Reverb dropper post. That's a big upgrade! Looking good with the orange accents 🍊 . . . . . #texasstate #sanmarcostexas #mtb #trailbike #fatbike #bikepacking #txst #78666 #texasstateuniversity #mountainbike #bikesanmarcos #bike #fluorescent #salsacycles #salsabikes #timberjack #trails #industrynine #anodized #baaw #cyclingshots #cycling #singletrack #shoplocal
Hey Bobcats! Fall is almost here, which means we've got some new bikes in stock. Whether you're looking for an affordable commuter for class, a do-it-all road machine (have you seen the new splatter paint All City Mr. Pink?), or a full suspension trail shredder, we have something for you. We're right off the square in Downtown San Marcos - stop by and take a test ride! . . . . . . . #txst #texasstate #texasstatebobcats #smtx #smtxperience #sanmarcos #shoplocal #downtownsmtx #downtownsanmarcos #bike #bicycle #cycling #cyclingshots #storefront #eatemupcats
Last Friday was #newbikeday for @andrea.lobosss, who picked up this All City Space Horse Disc, and immediately took it out on a muddy, rainy adventure ride. Definitely doing it right. . . . . . . #steelisreal #spacehorse #saladocreek #allcity #touringbike #gravelbike #bike #cycling #baaw #cyclingshots #sanmarcostx #smtx #78666 #smtxperience #txst #steelbike #rainride #partybrand
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
