Frames
We stock a few frames at a time, but most are special ordered. Surly and All City will generally arrive within a week. Soma and Pake frames usually take two weeks to arrive.
Practical, durable, comfortable, affordable… these are the primary forces shaping Soma’s ideology. Sounds reasonable, but so many other companies try to emulate the racing world when it’s the smallest segment of the market. Soma has instead listened to local bike dealers like us and decided to offer great steel frames, and functional, attractive accessories.
Pake was started with the mission of delivering an affordable, high-quality, durable and stylish track frame to those looking to build up a custom fixie. Pake has rounded out their bike offerings for 2011 with an aluminum track frame, a commuter frame and a mixte.
Surly was started in 1998 with an emphasis on high quality relatively inexpensive steel frames. Surly continues to expand their line-up of cro-mo frames and now offers a full line up of urban, road, track, ‘cross, cargo and mountain bikes.
All City’s goal is to make a significant contribution to the equipment and culture of urban cycling. All City drives trends instead of chasing them and they continue to roll out innovative approaches to urban bikes. Their passion for Minneapolis cycling and its culture are apparent in the detail and design of all their products
