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

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
