11038669026_4555cf77a3_b11038191976_ddde9c7c1a_bBishop Bikes is a one man shop run by Chris Bishop. Every project I have seen from Bishop Bikes is a work of art. Chris’s passion for frame building shows in each frame. The quality of work coming out of this shop is phenomenal.

“Combining classic artisanal techniques and modern materials, I create bikes with a clean, modern aesthetic and precise attention to detail. Bike fit and handling tailored to customer needs and riding style are my primary objectives, with beautiful paint and thinned lugs being the finishing flourishes on a solid foundation. I prefer to fit customers myself whenever possible. Among my many influences are the classic French constructeurs, Italian racing bikes, and the great American custom builders of today.”

Here is all the info

8:00 p.m.

The Heavy Pedal Headquarters

805 W. Madison St. PHX, AZ 85007

“This is an extension of the locally acclaimed, longest lasting ride in Arizona, “Lux Ride.” The ride starts at Heavy Pedal and has a weekly rotating route through downtown/midtown/uptown Phoenix. There is a destination spot to reconnect the A and B groups, get water, etc… Then we ride back to Heavy Pedal to cool down and disperse. We are less than a mile away from the Light Rail if you want to come out from Scottsdale/Tempe/Etc and don’t want to exhaust yourself on the way home. The ride is 2-3 hours in duration. We look forward to seeing you here in Phoenix!”

The new Ass Saver has arrived!

“The Ass Saver Original is our third generation foldable mudguard. Proven and tested in the field, it’s a simple solution to the annoying brown stripe down the back of your pants.

The new and much improved ASO-3 is compatible with almost every standard rail saddle thanks to our new patent pending attachment system. The ASO-3 is a breeze to mount and once in place, it stays in place. When not in use, it can be folded up and stored underneath your seat, ready to be deployed the next time you are caught out in a shower. The new design have also resulted in a more durable product that is less sensitive to wear and tear. So whether you’re urban shredding, winter training or just prefer to keep your behind unsoiled, the ASO-3 is your new best friend!”

ADA CLIPLESS STRAP ADAPTER

4_logo2_logo6_logo Our friend from Berlin is doing some amazing things for track cycling. Tired of coming out of you Looks ? This is the answer many have been looking for!

“ADA
is a toe strap pedal adapter suitable for Look 2 Max

MATERIAL
Polyamide are constructed from a very fine, granular powder. The result is a strong, somewhat flexible material that can take impacts and resist pressure while being bent.

TECHNOLOGY
Selective laser sintering is used to build this material. The models are printed layer by layer by a laser that draws thin lines in the powder.

INFO
Polyamide models are not suited for outdoor use as they absorb moisture.
However, on request, the material can be treated to make it watertight.

OTHERS
If you would like to have this adapter suitable for other pedals please let me know, at the 10th request I will start a new process of design, prototype and production for the model wanted.

ORDER
