Salsa Cycles has quietly added some new 12 speed drivetrain carbon Warbirds in the past few months. Today they announced an update to the Cutthroat. The Cutthroat gets a UDH derailleur hanger upgrade and a few other upgrades. Available now with the SRAM Rival/GX Transmission drivetrain or as a frameset.

If you haven't noticed, the new website went live last fall. Fairly basic but gets the job done. I did add a blog section today to try to reach the wider audience from Facebook. It is mainly to post when I am not available or new items arriving. Thanks!

If you are trying to reach me via email, it might be best to use the frankscycleryATgmailDOTcom address for the time being especially if you don't hear from within a day. The website is finally back up running in a new form after being down for a bit. Along with that and a domain move, the bike-info email address is having some issues that hopefully will resolve itself in the coming days. Thanks!

A work of art build for a long time customer who wanted an internally cabled road frame & an homage to Van Gogh’s Starry Night over the Rhone. My friends at Black Magic Paint absolutely nailed the paint job. Enjoy.

Moots announced the Forager fat bike today. They are only making 50 complete bikes and are taking orders only until June 1st with delivery in November/December. If you interested in one, just email me. Thanks!

Forager - Moots You’re not hanging up your wheels when the snow flies and you love the solitude of quiet winter adventures. This overlanding machine is built for you.

Hope everyone is enjoying the warm up. Things at the shop are still basically the same. Availability of bikes and components are going to be in the same pattern this year as last and really don't expect things to get back to normal until late 2023 or 2024. So if you need a new bike or components, expect to wait. I am constantly putting product on back order but often sell it before it ever arrives. So, don't be afraid to email me and ask.

On that note, I will announce what Salsa complete bikes I will have available at some point in May once they arrive. I still have quite a few Pivots that are sold on backorder and don't have anything in stock at the moment. If you want a Pivot before next Spring, you need to let me know sooner than later based on their large amount of backorders. Moots is still on a rough five month delivery time for frames and will have some cool custom builds for customers to show this year. I am still cranking out wheel builds but availability of the hubs, rims and spokes I use are also taking longer than normal to get if I don't have it here. You get the story I am trying to convey......

I am still working by appointment only and not answering the phone most of the time. I have a large work load that I don't have full control of due to the product delivery time frames. I know email is a pain but is the only way I can keep track of all the work I have scheduled.

Thanks as always to my loyal customers and enjoy this Spring weather. And, keep the rubber side down.

Moots announced the new Routt ESC this week. If you have any questions, send me an email.

Routt ESC - Moots You like escaping through the deepest gravel that leads to forgotten two tracks with a single-track loop thrown in for good measure. Your escape route is anything you make it with this set up.

Happy New Year to everyone. Still plugging away and will get some inventory information out in the next week or so. Bike and component availability will again be difficult battle this year. And, best way to reach me is again via email. Thanks and will have a bigger update soon.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday. Still working by appointment and will continue that trend into 2022 due to the headwinds with inventory availability. That being said, we will be closed for appointments the 24th through the 27th and then the 31st through the 3rd. Will post more information on the shop's going-ons the week of the 3rd. Thanks!

Hope everyone is doing well. I will do a longer post next week with the ongoing at the shop. Bike and parts availability is still a huge hurdle for the industry. If you thought 2021 was bad, wait until next year. Here is a decent video that 60 Minutes aired on the situation at Long Beach.
