Saw this on Leader Bikes’ Facebook page. Pretty dope idea to have those components on the 727tr glow in the dark. Good job to The Bike Lane out in Chicago.

I got my new, sweet rig built up at PHX BIKE by Palmer Kelley. I got to ride it last night and plan to make a mini edit with Nick Ramirez this weekend. I’m sure to be rusty.


This shot is for you to LOL at:

Velo Vie

From Chari & Co:

“We aren’t just into track bikes here at Chari, we love and appreciate all types of bikes, everyone here at the shop has a road bike for those nice weekend rides so we decided to go with VeloVie because they produce great affordable road bikes and have excellent costumer service. They are focused through their love and passion for riding and produce high quality carbon and aluminum road bikes that are used by several teams here in NYC.”

This is an awesome partnership. Velo Vie is a local company with a bunch of solid dudes that work there. Chari & Co. is… well, you already know how awesome C&C is. Congrats to both companies!
