A Precious Metal Called Steel

Posted on 05.17.2013 (08.03.2021) by Taylor Rebhan

We believe there’s no material more suitable than steel when it comes to producing a bicycle frame that is durable, highly responsive, and delivers an unsurpassed and pleasant riding experience.

The Leather Saddle Advantage

Posted on 05.08.2013 (08.03.2021) by Taylor Rebhan

There are few bicycle components that stir as much passion and affection as the saddle.

Posted on 05.01.2013 (08.03.2021) by Taylor Rebhan

Founded in 2009 by Andy Didorosi, who’s only 26 years old, the Detroit Bus Company is a bit of an anomaly in this city—not only do their bio-fuel powered buses fill a rather sizable gap in the Motor City’s mass transit system, but they are a privately-owned company to boot. They’re also a lot of […]

To say that the Baselworld Watch and Jewelery Show is a major event is something of an understatement.

Our Commitment To Quality

Posted on 04.23.2013 (08.03.2021) by Taylor Rebhan

The definition of quality seems obvious—at least until one actually sits down to define it. Then it becomes harder to pin down.
