Did someone say Orange? Hey, it's not just the title of a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion record, son! 59cm of Hot & Custom. $600

Hey Honky, it's Tonky. If you're lookin' to crush some gravel, this here's the one you want. 59cm. $1200

This is one of the most beautiful (Handsome?) bikes I've ever assembled at the Cykel Garage. You'd be making your girl really smile with this under the tree. Handbuilt wheels w/Velocity Deep V's & Electra Ticino hubs. 55cm. $1150

Ok, so you just need some reliable 4130 transportation? Step right up, sister. 54cm Mixte. $275

We need three categories of staff:

1. Wrenches - someone who knows their way around fixing a bike. Brakes, chains, gears, shifters, and the likes.

2. Assistant Wrenches - check and replace tires and tubes, check pressures, final cleaning of bikes, etc.

3. Hands - wash bikes with power washer, move them from place to place, minor support (Please Bring Towels).
