Young Guns Change Rules of Retail
ALBUQUERQUE, NM—Imagine starting a bike shop in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, without the help of bankers and as a young 20-year-old with little to no retail experience…
the hiatus is officially over… fri. feb. 26, 7pm
•February 24, 2010 • Leave a CommentThe triumphant return of Fixed&Furious is this Friday, 7pm. It’s a little last minute, I know, but the Crankfather came to me with an offer I couldn’t refuse. We’ll be joining forces to bring you the F&F Spring Sprint Series. The way it will break down follows: Feb. and Mar. will be regular nights, with sprints, footdown, etc. The top 3 or 4 finishers from each night will advance to the finals, held on Friday, Apr. 9. We will be providing over $150 in prizes and gift certificates for the finals and there will also be prizes for footdown, longest skid, and best trick. Fear not, the 40’s of O.E. will still be there, and we will also have grudge match/pickup sprints on Apr 9 if you didn’t make the finals but still want to race. If you can’t make it this Friday, mark your calendar for Mar. 26. If you’ve never been to a Fixed&Furious, it’s one of the most fun events we’ve got going. Don’t miss!
it’s that time again…

STOLEN!!! 2006 EDDY MERCKX GARA PISTA!!! HOLY SHIT!!
•January 27, 2010 • Leave a CommentI received this email from Grey at Fat Tire today:
to whom it may concern,
I am sending this email on behalf of my boss, Stevie McCambell of
Fat Tire Cycles. Last night his 2006 Eddie Merckx Gara Pista was
stolen. The bike is a 54.5, it is equipped with newer (2009) American
Classic 420 wheels, Shimano Dura-Ace track cranks w/47t Dura-Ace track ring, Easton TKO track bar, Easton EC90 stem, Thomson seatpost, Selle San Marco Aspide saddle, Sugino red anodized 16t splined cog, Izumi ”super toughness” track chain, and Shimano XTR SPD pedals.I don’t have a picture of the bike, nor could I find a picture of the
2006 frame on the internet. It’s a pretty “loud” bike, red, white,
blue, and I think a little gold mixed in, and I think it says “Eddy
Merckx” in about 16 different places, it may be a ltd edition frame
but I’m not sure. Wheels are also pretty distinct in red and white
with bold “American Classic” lettering.I was hoping we could get the theft and description some blog
exposure, and maybe the bike will be recovered. Thanks for the help
guys!
Damn, this has got to be hottest track bike you could possibly steal in all of ABQ-its obviously gonna stick out like a sore thumb wherever it shows up so keep your eyes open. I also was unable to find an image online, until I cracked open the Cranks505 archives and discovered this:
All points bulletin on this one. That’s like $5,000 worth of bike right there.
