Joe’s Great Divide Disc eTap

Leave a comment

Boy do we love to build these No22’s up. It never gets old!

Joe came in looking for a super versatile road frame, ready for long endurance rides as well as a sleek, clean machine. The Great Divide Disc a preferred well-rounded road bike.

Wide tire clearance for days when you feel incline to take the path less beaten, plenty of all-weather stopping power with rotors and disc calipers, and the all-day comfort and harsh vibe dampening that only titanium can provide. The Great Divide Disc is prepared to take on any road.

DT Swiss CR1600 Spline Wheelset

Gibby Hatton’s New and Improved Ti Road

Gallery Leave a comment

Gil “Gibby” Hatton is as incredible a coach as he is an accomplished track cyclist.

Gibby was the first American to be invited to the lucrative International Keirin Series in Japan. Gibby’s sage advise and strict training regimen has helped the Deluxe Track team take a few titles and medals home!

Coach wanted to continue the Martini motif we had going from the previous year but with a slight tinge. The frame is a Ti build from Gibby’s friend in California back in 2004. We retrofitted this badboy  up with Deluxe Carbon road wheels, SRAM Force 22, and Ritchey componentry. Shout out to Ben Falcon at Horse Cycles for the very clean paint job, as always!

The arduously achieved end product is a utilitarian, yet very aesthetically pleasing bicycle. These guys have serious meticulousness – every detail is under the microscope at any given step of the manufacturing process… From the inception of the idea ’til the product is in the customer’s hands.
Field’s material of choice is steel. Taking inspiration from the tradition and industrial heritage that lay the groundwork for their city, with culture and the spirituality surrounding their persuasions , Field Cycles is steadfast in believing their products aid in preserving Sheffield’s innovative steel working legacy.

Congratulations to our client, Guillaume, and his incredible new road bike.  Full photo set below:

Constructed with Colombus tubing
Sugino Mighty Competition Crankset
Hatta-Swan Deluxe Headset

Sim-Works by NITTO Mowmow riser bars
Izumi Jet Black chain
EAI Deluxe cog

Amir’s Surly Straggler Commuter/SSCX

Gallery Leave a comment

 

Here at Deluxe, we take pleasure in building sumptuous, extravagant, luxurious, masterful machines for our clients and sometimes, for ourselves.

However, arguably, the best bike in your fleet is one to get you from point A-to-B, traversing all sorts of conditions. One that, with the correct security procedures and best anti-theft gear, you can step away from it and have the peace of mind that your baby is safe and sound among the grimiest of human beings. A bike that won’t break the bank. A machine that, when you feel pent up inside because the weather has you down, you feel okay with leaving the house and getting dirty, despite having the ground covered in salty-icy-nasty muck… just to get you out of the house!

Amir recently built up a bike with that exact mindset. Practical, comfortable,  yet still gorgeous. Using a bunch of parts accumulating dust and a few components decommissioned from various race bikes – a Surly Straggler is born. It is currently set up singlespeed, which he will be using first and foremost, as a commuter… but also doubling as a trail ripper and SSCX (when Cyclocross season finally comes around – we’re already counting the days).

P.S. He left it salty for the haters.
