SOLD!

Our space was sold out from under us so we're in between homes at the moment. Feel free to reach out if you need something, we'll do what we can to get it sorted.

🍁🍁🍁

Hi Friends.

In light of ongoing supply chain challenges and the seasonal slowdown during what passes for winter around here, we will be cutting back our hours and operating on an appointment only basis. We'll do our best to accommodate folks, please send an email to:

info at sevenstarscycles.com 

to set something up. We are grateful for your support and appreciate your patience.

 

 

⛔️

 We're taking an Autumnal Equinox siesta. No shop op's until Tue October 12th. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Spring '21!

 Bicycle Update:

We have a medium Surly Bridge Club built up w/ a SUPER-WIDE range drivetrain (46/30-11/42) available. Will happily reconfigure a​cc​or​d​ing to one's desires however be advised parts availability remains quite limited. We've also got 56cm and 60cm Straggler framesets if you're tallish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've also got  a few State 4130 All-Roads in stock and more on the way soonish. These may be the best value available in the steel all terrain category right now!

And if you've already got a bike and need some maintenance on it, we are still only about a week turnaround on service.

👑 Fall(?) Update!

 

Schools are back in session (sort of), days are getting shorter and hopefully temperatures will start to cool off soon. We are still operating on a sidewalk service basis, no customers in the shop. Repairs are being completed in around a week to a week and a half at this point. As far as goods are concerned we are totally sold out of complete bikes but have a few frames around that we are able to build up for you. Lots of shop staples like tires and tubes are in very short supply, but hopefully distributors will be replenished on that front in the next month or so. Email is (as always) the very best way to get in touch with us. That's about it. Keep the rubber side down.

👑

Howdy. We're still here plugging away. Hours are the same, bike repairs are still being done in the order they were dropped off, but we've been able to get bikes back to folks within a week so far (we've got a little extra help). Sidewalk service only still, so the door is locked. If you need us just knock on the window and please wait patiently, we'll be with you ASAP! Phone calls are tough for us to handle so if you can send us an email instead we appreciate it. Doing things safely is more difficult for everyone these days so we are grateful for your business and understanding!

Our ride is an inclusive event intended to invite and encourage more women, trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people to participate in the local cycling community. ALL supportive riders are welcome!
Hang out with us at 106 Main after the ride for a Bike & Build fundraiser. Sarah Heizenroth will be biking across the country this summer to raise money and awareness for affordable housing - all tips during the fundraiser will go towards this effort.

#Copenhagenize

We've been lucky enough to obtain an amazing Copenhagen Wheel from the fine folks at Superpedestrian, Inc. It's set up on a lovely Pure Cycles step-through to accommodate a wide range of riders. Stop by and take it for a spin!

Coupl'a Classix

Our friend @arpdesignstudio posted one from this shoot a while back on another social media platform: Cycle of Life Dept: This winter my brother Steven Preiss brought me the 1956 JC Higgins that was my very first bike when I was six. It was a gift to him on his sixth birthday. He handed it down to me via my other brother Tony, who was also around 6 when he rode it. I customized the original configuration when I was 9 with a paint job, fender mods and knobby tires. When I showed it to Adrian at Seven Stars he pulled down his six year old son Miles' bike. Note all the uncanny similarities between them. Also, Miles rides his bike around Lakewood Elementary School, the daily destination on my bike from 2nd - 5th grade! #kidsonbikes #morekidsonbike #vintagebike #classiccruisers
