For most of us, riding 600 miles in 11 days is enough. But for these gents, it was only the start, they also played 10 shows in that time span while also carrying all their gear. More than your typical bike touring gear mind you, we're talking guitars, fiddles and even an upright bass along with all their personal things. ]]> http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2221/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2213 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2213#comments Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:39:15 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2213 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2213/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2149 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2149#comments Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:10:22 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2149 The Topeak RideCase iPhone case and mounting bracket is a pretty solid offering from Topeak. The case and mounting bracket can bring a welcomed addition to your daily commute with a few hidden surprises. It makes a nice everyday case that can be slipped onto the bike in the blink of an eye and have you off riding in no time. Of course all that doesn't come without a bit of a back story of our initial impressions.]]> http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2149/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2155 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2155#comments Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:02:43 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2155 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2155/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2137 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2137#comments Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:36:02 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2137 The Finish Line Starter Kit is a great way to get started on the basic maintenance plan. There is no arguing that most cyclist don't take proper care of their bikes, and who can blame them. If it's nice, go ride. However it does take it's toll on the equipment and leads to higher replacement and repair costs.But with this starter set, it give you all the basics to use towards maintaining your drivetrain. It also makes an inexpensive gift for just about any cyclist.]]> http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2137/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2118 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2118#comments Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:31:49 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2118 This morning we were invited to snap some of the very first public photos of the soon to be release 10spd Grip Shift that so many have been waiting for. While most of the technical details are under wraps for the time being, what we were shown is very exciting.]]> http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2118/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2084 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2084#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:11:10 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2084 One of the most fun parts of the winter months is adding new products to our online catalog and finding hidden gems in the mix. One such product that we wanted to take a minute and highlight is the Jagwire Disc Brake Multi-Tool. One of the stand out features that is that it covers a short list of multiple purposes, all while remaining a component specific tool. Most "multi" tools try to do to much while cramming it into an almost unusable package. Don't be fooled by the the multi tool name attached here, it is still very much an everyday shop tool that you'll find in a tool box or on a work bench.]]> http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2084/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2061 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2061#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 19:35:39 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2061 With the introduction to the public back in December, last night was our chance to celebrate Foundry Cycles. We were fortunate to be able to pull Jason (Foundry Brand Manager) and Rob (Foundry Sales Manager) away from the everyday routine for a night of talking about bikes over beer and nachos. It was a great opportunity for the local market to finally get to see the bikes up close and in person and meet just a few of the folks who have made it possible.]]> http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2061/feed 0 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2033 http://blog.treefortbikes.com/index.php/posts/2033#comments Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:54:16 +0000 Jess Richard http://blog.treefortbikes.com/?p=2033 partnership with Foundry Cycles as their exclusive online retail partner.
