We built these two bikes up recently, and they ended up retailing for around $750, including handbuilt wheels!

We’ve also got a few pairs of wheels on sale, so if you’re looking to get a solid pair of handbuilt wheels on the cheap, check ‘em out. Hopefully by month’s end we will finally have the Randonneurs in stock that we have been promising people, as well as Krypto Mini’s and San Marco saddles.

If you haven’t already heard about ‘The Revival’, you obviously haven’t been on the interwebs the past few months. Our good friend Wayne Morehart has been travelling all over North America filming some of the best 700cmx’ers, and is hosting the world premiere of his film right here in Vancouver!

Alright boys and girls -it’s time to give you the skinny on what’s been happening in the world of Super Champion since our last update. First off, we got the new Macaframa DVD in - some amazing footage of crazy kids bombing the streets of San Fran, with a few tricks thrown in for all you 700cmx’ers. And speaking of tricksters, we have an amazing selection of Deep V’s, B43’s, and even a couple of Chukkers in stock. Also expect to see Hold Fast straps on our shelves in the next couple of weeks. For the budget minded looking to build up an inexpensive whip, we will be carrying Eighth Inch drops, bullhorns, rims, and a couple of frames.

That’s about it from us for now, so remember - ‘cross season is in full swing, and track season is on the way so you have no excuse to get off your ass and ride your bike! I’ll leave you with this video of six time British national trial champion Chris Akrigg showing us what his first two days on a fixed gear look like - keep in mind that he has never ridden a fixed gear before this video, and he’s riding platforms with no cages or straps.

One last thing - watch out for potholes hidden under puddles this fall…

Hi, to all… We have been working hard in the shop, building IRO’s, and Pake’s, we also just got white KHS frames in, and started carrying frames by TRATOR, new company from Washington. We will be building up a few bikes over the next few days for people to come check out, and test ride so feel free to come by.

The 3 day at the velodrome just went down last week, i had some family stuff and was unable to make it, i spoke to a few people and they said the turn out was on the mellow side. I know the Portland mullet drove up from Team Beer, (i put the sticker on my window). On another note, BAD PARTY is this Friday at Strath Park, at 7pm. BYOB!!!!!!!! AND EVERYONE GO VOTE, GORDON CAMPBELL IS A CLOWN!!!!

The dudes at Lifetime and the Dudes at Super Champion have been doing some stuff together. The dudes at Life Time also did some stuff with the dudes from Cadence Clothing. The dudes from Life Time sent me a box of goodies, and inside this magic box was a Cadence/LifeTime Cycling cap, a cycling 3/4 pant with a nice tapered fit to it. As well as  a t-shirt by Super Champion and LifeTime, and another t-shirt that i haddone with LifeTime, on my own personal time. Check it out..Peace out…it’s still raining on all my dogs in Vancouver.

Super champion & Bean Around The World, have decided to work together on a bike project. We built up a all chrome coffee shop ride for BATW, which they will be giving away in a few weeks. How can you win this bike? You can ride or walk to Super Champion, or to BATW coffee shop on Powell, or the new location on Union & Gore, and start yourself a punch card. Once you have started your coffee consumption, you will need to drink seven (7) coffee. Once this has happened your punch card will be entered into the draw to win this all chrome coffee machine, that we at SC built. You have a few more weeks to get some coffee going down your throat. We have a few friends that are working on their third and forth card. Here are a few photos to peak your interest in the dark drip.
