Before you ask, no, there's no difference between a winter road bike and a summer road bike. Well, besides the price. These bikes have been dissapearing from the shelves all year and now we've got a shipment of 6 road bikes in just in time for the holidays. We have bikes for all sizes, skill levels and price ranges. Here's the skinny:
Trek 1000AL road bike ($450):
Perfect for the serious rider looking for an every day bike or a entry level race bike. The 1000 series is the less expensive version of the 1200 and 1500 series. The cost savings comes from a "suicide" shift system (instead of trigger shifters) and less expensive components. With a 60cm frame it's an ideal size for someone of the 6' persuasion. We've swapped out the stock tires for a nicer Bontrigger model and upgraded the seat to a gel race saddle. We also rewrapped the handlebars with some deluxe foam tape to take some of the edge off. The bike comes with stock flats but you also get your choice of any of our used clip pedals for free.
Fixie Road Bike ($300):
Looking to get out on the road in style? This fixie/single speed features a flip flop rear hub with tension adjuster making it the ideal minimalist transport. Use this puppy to get around campus or bike to work in style. With a flat black finish, the 55cm frame accommodates average sized riders in comfort while allowing the rider's style to show through. We got this bike new in the box so it's super clean and comes with all brand new components.
Huffy Omni 10 ($125):
This is the GBPs least expensive, fully rideable, multi speed road bike in many months. Well, the first one to make it to the floor at least. While she might not be a looker in her 80s fab, she's fast and durable. A 20" frame makes this baby a fit for an average sized rider and the perfect campus transportation.
Sheffield Single Speed RB ($100):
This bike is old school. A red Free Spirit fame has been combined with classic mustache handlebars and a coaster break rear wheel to create a road monster of epic proportions. This bike screams classic while still being practical. Due to the smaller frame and upright position of the rider, this bike will fit any average sized adult.
Classic Raleigh Fixer Upper ($150):
It's red. It's 60cm tall. It's a giant of a road bike. This sucker is next on our list of fixie converts but until then we're offering it to you for 1/2 the price.
Ross Fixer Upper ($75):
She needs some love but all the parts are there to make a great bike. A bit of a smaller women's road bike, this one will make someone a great every day commuter.
We're also constantly getting bikes in. We just got in a 7th road bike today but it hasn't been checked out yet. As soon as it's done we'll post info.
Welcome to the GBP Blog
This is the Blog associated with our main website TheGreenBicycleProject.org
The GBP has merged with Damn Good Bikes LLC. Please visit the new blog for more recent updates.
We are the GBP. Our mission is to keep bikes on the road and thus keep cars off. We call this “Bikecycling”; that’s recycling, but for bikes. The concept is simple. Take a bike that’s no longer wanted, broken, or even bound for a landfill and apply a bit of knowhow and a lot of elbow grease and you get a bike that can last someone for years. These bikecycled bikes are sold at a price that covers only our costs in repairing them so as to provide bicycles at the lowest cost possible. All of our bikes are repaired and tuned by a mechanic so that from the moment you pick them up they are ready to hit the road. Take a look below for our current project bikes and completed rides.
Location:
We are located in the US Storage facility at Capital Circle NE and Mahan Rd. While have moved into our new store, we are in the same complex. To get there follow the road through the complex, around the 90 degree bend and make the first left (at the tree). We'll be the first store front on your right. Sound complex? The best way to find us is to follow the bikes!
