The Bicycle Escape has a close relationship with our friends at Deity, and we are more than excited to help them release their impressive 2017 product line up!
Budget Bikepacking
Let me make this statement from the onset: I love Revelate Design’s bags. They are super
Jones Plus Review
If you follow Jeff Jones and have been paying attention, you are by now well aware of the new Jones Plus frame. I am a rider who greatly appreciates the Jones brand and the cool products he makes. So like many of you, I ride what he sells.
How Rim Width Affects the Tire
Ever wonder how the width of your rim alters the width of your tire? Well, it’s time to get geeky.
Orange Headsets, White Headsets….
Fans of the shop know that one of our favorite tasks is customizing bicycles. The most resent step toward making every bike extra special has been to stock custom color items. We noticed that it seems impossible to get a white, orange or yellow headset. Well, we put an end to that.
Rainbow Fixie
We just received a shipment of fun stuff that lends itself to dressing up a fixed gear. Origin8 has lots of cool new parts in tons of colors.
Ergontastic
If you have not tried Ergon grips yet do your self a favor and give them a try. Love at first ride.
Kleen Kanteen
I don’t know why I am so excited about these water bottles but I am. They are taste-free, total renewable stainless steel bottles with plastic sports caps. So if you have been wanting to ditch plastic this is your chance.
Chris King Bottom Brackets
Attention Chris King fans! The Chris King Bottom Brackets have arrived and are now for sale at Ye Old Bicycle Escape. We have not received our entire shipment (the fun colors are still in production) but none-the-less several are here now and ready to go.
Oury Oury Oury
I have been riding Oury grips since the mid 1990s. There is just something about their squishiness that pleases me.
Tomicogs
The other day we received a shipment of Tomicogs. For those of you who don’t know, Tomicogs are fixed gear cogs that install on a disc hub’s 6-bolt (ISO) mounts.
BMX Parts-a-Plenty
Over the last week we have received several shipments of BMX goodies. We got stuff from Fit BMX, S&M, Animal, Fly Bikes, Primo, Haro, The Shadow Conspiracy, Odyssey, We The People, FBM, SNAFU, and more.
White Brothers & Origin8 29er Forks
Recently I had the opportunity to compare two carbon 29er mountain bike forks, White Brothers Rock Solid and Origin8 Black Ops. I have not ridden either of these products for any length of time so this is not an evaluation or ride report
Industry Nine
I just wanted to share this beautiful set of custom Industry Nine Wheels that recently arrived. As you can see the wheel was built with blue and black spokes laced to a polished silver hub.
KSM Kashimax Five Gold Top Tube Protector
There is something about top tube protectors that I find very cool. Maybe it is the track star image or the gel encased steel. I don’t know what it is about them but I am now the proud owner of a Kashimax Five Gold top tube protector.
Bottle Cap Head Tube Badges
Several months ago we started a special project at The Bicycle Escape. We reshaped bottle caps to turn them into bicycle head tube badges. At first the result was rather primitive but as weeks turned into months we honed our technique.
Deller Cycling Hats
A few weeks ago we received a shipment of Deller hats. The initial order was instigated by Mike who wanted one for himself. After seeing the hats (and grabbing one for myself) I was glad we placed the order.
Deuter Race X Air I Review
Spot Bash Guard
Spot Bash GauThe Guys and Gals at The Bicycle Escape are quite fond of running a bash guard in place of the big ring on our mountain bikes. Recently we documented one of the installations (on Danielle’s bike).
