Free Colonel's Beer Koozies

Free Colonel's Bicycles beer koozies to the first 20 people that request one. They work great with a Bud tall boy but that's the only beer I've tried them with. Bring beer when you come to pick yours up and we'll test em out on other brands. This will be done strictly in the name of scientific testing and the experiment will cease when the first person pees on the carpet!

Two Pumps That Really Work!

Two great quality pumps that really work. The smaller one is the Lezyne Classic Floor Drive Pump, and the larger one is the Lezyne CNC Floor Drive Pump. We have been testing the CNC pump in the shop for the last several weeks. Mechanic Aubrey Williams aka Florida Williams (that's another story), swears that he can inflate a 700x23 tire from 0 to 100 psi in just 14 strokes. They both have long hoses and screw onto either a schrader valve or presta valve leaving your hands free to focus on pumping. The long hose allows me to inflate my tire at the trail head without removing the bike from the receiver hitch rack. The CNC pump features a larger aluminum barrel and all CNC construction with a gauge that registers 225 psi while the Classic has a steel barrel and registers 160 psi. Both pumps are great quality. I personally think that having a pump that goes from 0 to 100 psi in just 14 strokes is worth the extra money.

Custom Moots Mooto-X 29er

The seat tube is 15 inches and the top tube was curved to allow extra for extra stand over clearance.

The parts kit included: Fox F29 fork, white Ritchey stem, carbon Ritchey handlebar, Ergon twist shift compatible grips, Sram XO twist shifters, XTR crank and front derailleur, Sram XO rear derailleur, white Avid Juicy Ultimate brakes, Mavic Crossmax 29 wheels, WTB nanoraptor tires (tubeless), Moots seatpost, Fizik saddle, Time pedals.

Chris King Bottom Brackets In Stock

Here is the ultimate upgrade to your Shimano road crank requiring an external bottom bracket. Chris King has been making bearings for 32 years and has applied that knowledge to their own bottom bracket. Available in a variety of colors and in stock here at Colonel's. King also offers a grease injection tool that will allow you to purge the old grease and add new without removing the bracket from the frame. You can inject a heavy grease for training and a light viscosity grease on race day. Come on by and check em out!

Best Christmas Gift Ever! (Sorry Mom)

Surly Pugsley/Big Dummy rider and customer Richard Chambers delivered the most thoughtful gift of the season. Richard sourced the stainless flask, flask cage and graphics from three separate companies and put together this incredible gift. Not to mention that the flask was also filled with 18 year old scotch. In addition, the flask comes with a custom stainless funnel for refills. THANKS! From the crew at Colonel's.
