Happy Friday friends! Hope everyone is keeping up with the goings-on at the TDF. Getting spicy!

Latest client builds heading South are a set of his and her’s custom Bianchi’s. Specialissima and Infinito in Celeste livery, proper. Both built up with Dura Ace and rolling on Reserve 42/49’s with the ever so popular Tune SL Pico hubs. Love how they both turned out. Thank you for the support and trusting in the process. ❤️

Not AI and no we don’t do this often or really ever. Take advantage of it. In store only and yes some exceptions apply, but I would say this covers about 70% of our current clothing inventory. Heck even have some killer kit starting at $50. Sale goes till it’s gone. Time for a new direction so help me get there.

Another super fun custom Handsling build for a super fun gal. I knew it had to be purple when we started the project ! Handsling TR3 Evo rolling on Black Inc 60’s glued up with some Veloflex tubs from my secret stash. Aerocoach bar and Miche Pistard Air cranks round out the build. Simply beautiful, and fast!

Latest 3T Racemax Italia build from a few weeks back, finally getting around to sharing! Built up with the latest Shimano GRX wireless 1x12, 40t paired with a 10-51 to get you up the angriest climbs. Shimano GRX Carbon wheels round out the package. Another fast bike for a fast lady. Once again thank you for trusting us with your latest project my friend!

Well caught up on my inbox so time to share some recent builds ! Let’s start with my new ride. Super excited to be riding this beauty. Can’t sell what you don’t know so I always try and ride all our brands to truly understand them.

BMC SLR 01 One. Built up Red 1X 50T with a 10-36. DT Swiss hoops set up tubeless on the new Pirelli PZero SLR 30mm. I have had it out a few times now and I love it. The 1X set up is perfect for Alberta. Truly believe that more people should be on a 1X set. After testing this set up I am even more convinced. Great range even for an old guy like me 😜. You know a bike is good when you always look forward to riding it, and this machine checks that box. Also the build quality was on point. No cursing by Ethan, so I know it went together well.

Heads up we are closed tomorrow. Go ride your bike and if you have a chance check out the Canada Day Crit in Lendrum. Happy Canada Day!

Back in YEG! Added a few extra days to the trip to meet the family in one of my favorite towns, Bassano. Had a chance to visit my friends at Basso to get a sneak peak into 2027. Grabbed a beautiful Diamante from the Basso Clubhouse in town and did one of favorite rides. Finished the trip off with a night in Venice which is always amazing. Well back to the grind, lots of builds to post so stay tuned. Just need to get through my inbox 😅.

Thank you Andrea, Enrico, and Michele and everyone Wilier Triestina for the amazing few days and for treating this little shop in the Edmonton like family for over 22 yrs. You’ve grown so much but always find time to chat about bikes and life with me. Grazie Mille ❤️

Stunning back drop to celebrate Wilier Triestina 120th anniversary, and it did not disappoint! To commemorate the anniversary a special bike was created. The Filante Ultimate – 120th Anniversary Edition. It represents the pinnacle of Wilier’s research, innovation, and exclusivity: a limited and individually numbered edition of just 120 bicycles, developed to commemorate this important milestone.

Its exclusive Solstice Blue livery, inspired by the summer solstice of June 21st, combines a deep blue finish with golden metallic reflections that continuously shift with the light, making every bicycle truly unique.

A amazing few days here thus far and only getting better. Not going to complain about the +36 heat as I know too well how our lack of Summer has been back in YEG! I only have one regret thus far however. Not realizing sooner that the legend Marc Madiot was sitting across from me at dinner 😭.

Ciao for now. 🥂

Happy Tuesday kids. Well at least for me! I am off to Italy tomorrow for Wilier’s 120th birthday and dragging Kim with me. A brand that I have carried for over 23 years and has a special place in my heart.

Fitting that our latest client build is this beautiful Verticale. Built up Dura Ace Di2, Fizik Argo Adaptive saddle, Reserve 34/37’s built on Tune Pico hubs with 30mm Archetype rubber. Finished weight 6.4 kgs. Thank you for making the trip from YVR for the initial fitting and pick up. More importantly thank you for trusting the process 🙏🏾!

Shop will be open with limited appointments so please call ahead as I won’t be checking emails. Booking first week of July for service. The Young Gun’s Ethan and Colin are running the show, so be nice. I am back on the 26th and I know you will survive without me till then. Ciao Ciao.
