We were in France a couple years ago for The Tour and snapped this picture of the Bernard “The Badger” Hinault mural in Briancon. We may like Italian bikes more than French ones, but we think the Frenchman is alright, after all, he did take the Giro a few times…
…the big, bad Stelvio will be here in just 9 days…
It’s Giro Time!
We just got back from a road trip to Italy—we stopped by Ambrosio (www.ambrosiospa.com) while we were there, and we’ve got some pretty new wheel sets as a result.
Stop by the shop and take a look at the wheels and all the other Italian gems that we brought back with us!
And of course, if you’re not in Berlin, drop us a line!
Here’s a—part two—look at the latest custom offering from our Prenzlauer Berg shop: a hot custom built Cicli Berlinetta Doppia Strada road bike specially made for Erik Spiekermann.

This frame set is being built up for another happy customer. We’ll show you the finished product in the next few weeks.
We saw sunshine, rain, sleet, and even freezing temperatures and snow this week in Berlin. We even had a couple who came in and bought two of our warm winter Ribcaps.
But no worries, springtime weather—just like Monday—is right around the corner. Get out there and ride!
Below are a few impressions from the shop last week.
Franzi stopped by the shop this past Tuesday, and said she liked the Vicini that she saw, but she’d like it even better if it had white accents. We made a plan with her on how we could make that happen and she picked it up the next night. Simple.
By the way, we think it looks pretty damn good.
