Testing Video upload… I apologize for being such a geek! (but we are
headed to CX Nationals on Wednesday in Bend, OR… So you’ll really
all benefit)

Testing some new geek tech to get pics straight to the internets…

iPhone > flickr > uBRDO.com > Twitter > Facebooks… In 1 fell swoop…

That’s right only $74.00. 700×32c.

You want these. Supplies are limited.

We have a long way to go, but are glad you like where we’re headed… THANKS!

Challenge Griffo Tubulars and Clinchers are back in stock. If you are ready for the sickness in handmade cyclocross tires, here it is. If gum walls aren’t your speed, we also stock Michelin Mud 2’s and Vittoria cx tires… (and don’t forget, through December you get a free tube of glue with tubular purchases!).

Paul Components is a small company in Chico California making some beautiful bits and pieces (their cantilever brakes are unparalleled). We just got in their Touring Canti’s, Melvin chain tensioners, and a small stock of their new Chain Keepers. Also is 1 of 2 Flatbed Racks they had in stock. This front mounting rack is perfectly sized to hold a case of beer, and will do it in style with wood slats!

Swiss Stop brake pads are fully back in stock. These are the best brake pads we have dealt with and keep a full stock on hand including pads for Shimano, Campagnolo, and SRAM brakes, Carbon and Aluminum, linear pull and cantilever and even Shimano and Avid disc brake pads.

Edge Carbon Wheels have been flying out the door and we just thought we might as well put some of the sexxiness on the internets. We have been primarily building these with Chris King Hubs and DT Revolution Spokes. Road, ‘Cross and Mountain wheels in tubulars or clinchers (their handlebars and forks are also getting top ratings from our customers as well!). Give us a shout and we’ll get a quote worked out!

The shop will be closed Tuesday (which is normal for our summer hours), but will also be closed Wednesday. We will have the store opened Thursday and Friday though!

We will also be trying to hit CrossVegas, the Mandalay Bay Criterium, the Rapha Soiree and more… so check back (and, as I say in advance every year: i AM TRULY SORRY for anything that ends up on here between the hours of 6:00pm and 7:00am).

Lynskey is running a killer little special on their R430 Road Frames THIS WEEK ONLY… so if you’re thinking it’s time for a hot new Ti Road bike, you’re right. You’ll save over $1350 with free brushed-finish upgrade and (of course) free shipping.

Starting the first week of July, uBRDO will be closed on Tuesdays (except by appointment), and will now be open Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 10:00pm!

We’re sorry for the inconvenience being closed 1 day a week may bring, but as far as we can tell it will be pretty small (we don’t see a lot of you on Tuesday)… we really need a dedicated day for admin and cleaning etc. We will, of course, take appointments for fits and personal shopping days on Tuesdays though… just give us a call to set up an appointment.

This also means an impending Tuesday evening group ride in the dirt is in order. We’ll get more info about that up in short order so stay tuned!

Today though the bike just seemed over the top cool. Maybe I’m biased (I am) but the uBRDO sticker really makes this thing blingin’! So I decided we’re going to start rewarding random uBRDO coolness… Laila you just got yourself a $10.00 gift certificate in the shop!

And we have vinyl die-cut stickers in the store now too. $3.00… white, black, pink (for Sandy), grass green, seafoam green, and nude.

We are putting on a little photo contest in conjunction with the Carnation TT Series. We have noticed a lot of great photos circulating from races as of late and we thought it might be time to recognize some local talent off the bike!

It’s all flickr based:
