TCB Courier

It’s not everyday that you run across a company that is centered around the customer and community like TCB Courier.  Being genuinely inquisitive, nice and caring is a beautiful thing.  If you’re in the San Francisco area check’em out!

Icarus Frames

These are by far the most beautiful custom frames I’ve ever seen! Icarus frames are built out of the Fringe location in Sumerville, MA (check Fringe out on the post below). They are all very specific to the customer and highly custom! Very clean and beautiful lines!

Here is one of my favorite. Check out more HERE.

Here is a very stealthy Icarus tearing up the streets in Ukraine! It features the Icarus custom drop outs with brass faces, and a simple seat tube sleeve. Roman wanted a frame he could rip around the streets on that wouldn’t be too flashy. They definitely won’t see you coming on this one. The gloss black with dark grey logo on the underside of the down tube turned out great.” – Icarus

Mission: One Year In Photography

“Welcome to 2012! The future has become the present. Heavy.

We had a great year. We expanded our shop and staff, led dozens of group rides, participated in a couple bicycle marriage proposals, laminated thousands of spoke cards, made a couple movies, built loads of beautiful bikes and so much more.

We’ve put together a gallery of great moments to relive with you. Thanks for all your support in 2011, best wishes for 2012.” – Mission Bicycle Company

I really like Mission Bicycle Company and what they provide to the cycling community.  Each bike is unique to the person building it.  They allow customization on a very “piece-by-piece” basis.  Here is a preview of some sweet bike photos from Mission.  Click HERE for more!  Enjoy!
