Summer customs

Bike Build, Rad Bicycles, Radness

Here are a couple in season gems to drool over. The Yeti Sb5.5 is dominating the Aspen EWS. The bike is amazing although it may have something to do with the pilot..

Mavic XA Elite wheelset. Eagle XO1 Drivetrain and Fox suspension…..

Miami dolphin colorway.

All the kashimas…

Ergon grips to add a splash of color!

Bam!

 

Shop ambassador, trail fairy and all round good guy John Cyr had a dream. To build a full custom Slayer that would destroy any trail that was put in front of it. Draped with carbon bits, this plow machine is ready to rumble, and after many months of sleepless nights, his dream has come to life! Stoke factor is high with this build!

when your colour match game is strong.

custom Kabolt thru axle

theres always more places for carbon

Hidden pivots create smooth lines

Traction much?

2016 Custom builds

Bike Build, Rad Bicycles

With another riding season just around the corner, its time to showcase a  few drool worthy custom builds from the team at Outside bike and Ski in Canmore.

The words ‘cost effective’ and ‘financially viable’ don’t usually come to mind when talking about high end carbon mountain bikes, but I don’t think that really matters in the end does it?

Our good friends at Visa and Mastercard can foot the bill for now, while we get to enjoy the finished product!

RAD BIKE/ OUTSIDE STAFF N FRIENDS SESSION

Rad Bicycles, Radness, Riding, Trails

Late last season we through together a nice little friends and family group ride. The day had all the makings of an epic adventure. A high of 2 degrees, snow down to 1500 metres and a crew of rowdy, beligerant all sorts that happen to be friends and coincidentally  know how to ride bikes.

We don’t often get a group like this together in the season…that may have to change.

 

It was a lot of fun…..

Rain/snow/sleet gear was key…We were all putting our chosen attire to the test.
