Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks

So, we recently had an old dog come in looking for some upgrades and boy did it get some.

We took an old Litespeed Arenburg Special Edition and gave it a major makeover.

The frame was sent back to the factory for a strip-down and re-decaling. Once back from the factory she was hung with all new parts.


A 2009 Campy Super Record 11 kit and Bontrager Aeolus 5.o wheels gave this Old Dog a new lease on life. She shed over 3lbs. of weight while gaining a lot of speed and comfort.

Carbon wing bars, carbon stem, carbon post, carbon cages...Saweet ! She's even got the good ole Garmin Edge 305 strapped on there for good measure. This is one sweet bike.

Do you have an older bike that just needs some upgrading ? If you do we can help ! Bring that trusty set of wheels by the shop and we'll get them up to speed.

Congrats To Our Man Dave K. !



These past few days, our resident fixed gear hammerhead has been out in Reno doing battle with some of the top riders in the country at a race called the Scalleycat. This event can and has tested the mettle of many of the top riders to ever throw a leg over the top tube of a bike.

Well we just heard from Dave and after all the dust had settled he has earned himself a SECOND-PLACE standing out of 250 plus riders !! That folks is no joke .

Dave had just enough time to get off the plane, build his bike at the airport and just barely get to the starting line for the 1st day's time trial. Warmups ...We don't need no stinkin' warmups !

In the final event you must ride for 24 hours ...and no that's not a misprint. At the end of the 24 hours Dave had ridden 270 miles on his fixed gear . A man amongst men I'd say, simply outstanding. Rock on man..Rock on !!

24 hour races, hillclimbs, and time-trials...all the while partying like rock stars. Very cool and very sick indeed..I Like It .

Grats Dave !!
