Build-A-Bike video by Jim

A nice video of a rapid build:

Done in our very own workshop! Nice work!

Yes, winter's a good time to stay warm indoors and watch Arrested Development DVDs.  But spring will be here soon and then you'll want a bike to get around C-U.  Right now The Bike Project has a bunch of great bikes for sale... and they'll probably disappear pretty fast once the temperature rises.

If you're looking for a great bike, you should stop by the shop and check out our finished bikes.  We've got helmets, locks, and lights for sale, too -- so you can get everything you need to zip over to Jarling's Custard Cup this spring (starting March 5th!).

Here's a selection of bikes we've got for sale right now:

Here's a bike I built at the Bike Project:

It's a late 70s Free Spirit/Pinnacle frame, originally sold by Sears.  I replaced almost all the components with spare parts from the shop.  Then I posed it in front of my 1950s-era hideous sofa.

Later I added a front rack and rode it in the Cranksgiving! bike race.
