Merlin Titanium Bikes are timeless, you could ride this Camena forever… if you’re petite!

 

Titanium truly goes with anything and only looks better with the wear of everyday use.

This Merlin Camena has some stunning details, the etching is a theme throughout the frame.

 

The bottom bracket shell is etched with a Merlin Falcon which actually makes you go faster!

 

The Carbon Fiber stays reduce weight and improve climbing efficiency. The etching detail on the Titanium is simply beautiful!

 

The wheelset is Campagnolo Chorus hubs laced with double-butted spokes onto Mavic Open Pro 650c rims.

 

This Camena was custom built and would fit someone 5' tall or under. The geometry was done by Tom Kellogg of Spectrum Cycles fame.

The drivetrain is a Shimano Ultegra Triple for a massive range of gears and versatility.

This is just an outstanding bicycle for someone 5′ tall or under, quite fast, very sweet parts spec, it is a MUST SEE!

The parts are flawless and like new, they include:

Cane Creek headset

Shimano Ultegra Cranks, BB and derailleurs

Look pedals and Sidi shoes

Shimano short-reach STI shifters are a fantastic detail on a bike this size!

Shimano Dura-Ace dual pivot calipers are a sweet detail

Compact Bars, Terry Butterfly saddle, and Thomson Seatpost

Reynolds Ouzo fork is super-light and very compliant

We hit up Los Alamos to ride our Pugsleys with Tarik. We had so much fun!

The warming affects of Knob Creek bourbon are apprecited by many in the fat-biking community. Swig and pass!

The views of this burn area were incredible, we went down a bunch of beautiful switchbacks to start.

You really had to watch yourself on the turns!

 

Somebody believes in using their jersey pockets... Tarik.

 

The vistas up here were so incredible.

That's not Jesus, it's Pinche Los.

 

This descent was about 4-5 miles of sweet cruising and sliding!

 

We rode through through some LOVELY boulder gardens!

 

We crossed a tree or two.

 

Tarik can feel the difference between 6 and 7 PSI.

 

Los Alamos has some great bicycle infrastructure, this tunnel under the main roundabout came in handy for accessing more trails.

 

We pushed up and over a few rocks.

I like to call this: "I need a beer...".

 

"We're almost home guys... cold beer, warm fire and homemade salsa awaits!" -Tarik

The canyons in and around Los Alamos can be accessed by the Perimeter Trail system and are super-fun riding any time of the year, especially NOW!

We are currently taking orders for Surly Pugsleys and Moonlanders to be delivered shortly. Let us know if we can help you get yourself or a deserving LOVED one what they need to stay on their mountain bike ALL WINTER!

This Ferrari-red 54cm Tommasini Tecno is simply a SHOWSTOPPER! Are You?

Rosso e chromato. How can you go wrong? The lugs are hand-filed and ornately beautiful.

Tommasini is so proud of their work and it shows in every detail on this frame.

 

Columbus Nemo Tubing and stamped frame components throughout

 

beautiful detailwork...

 

It has internal brake cable routing to keep it clean. The fork is a full chrome Air crowned beauty!

This frame needs no introduction or explanation, but if you insist:

This 52cm Ciocc Retro frame and fork is both beautiful and reasonable… Impossible?!? Mira!

The red panels on this white frame really stand out... you could go a few different directions with the component choice.

Drop-outs with adjustment are a sweet touch.

 

Of course this frame is made in Italy, and they only did 50 in each size. This frame is a 52cm.

 

Ciocc won the right to use all 4 suites in a poker game, for more details: ask David Bell!

This frame comes with a straight blade Carbon Fiber fork and is compliant and lightweight. We have built up several of these this season and everyone has been extremely happy with them… our friend Kathy just rode the 111 mile Tour de Tucson on one!

When we met Kathy she was riding about 30 miles at a time, a Ciocc Retro with Campagnolo later and she rode over a CENTURY!

Give us a call to talk about a build! (505) 982 8986

This modern classic 58cm Cinelli Super Corsa is the perfect color! For you?

Stamped Cinelli drop-outs...

 

Chrome lugs all around...

The chrome on the seat junction is particularly sweet!

 

This Cinelli Super Corsa looks good from every direction!

 

 

The stamped brake bridge is so pretty!

Do we need to show you more?!?

 

Mediterranean blue or Azura is a classic color for an Italian frame...

 

We LOVE these extended lugs! The fork has a chrome crown with them as well, the legs are painted to match this frame.

Our Cinelli Super Corsa is a 58cm, full chrome stays, has a matching fork, is the perfect color, Columbus Neuron tubing and is just begging you to buy it a Campagnolo Chorus 11 speed group!
