Local Products

We've got some new products up from local (or ex-local) companies. Ruckus Components started out up here in Milwaukee before becoming official and heading out to the cycling mecca that is Portland, OR. We're happy to finally have some production versions of their chainguards. We've been testing out prototypes for the past 2+ years and we're excited to be able to share them with customers now. link


We also have some new MBC cycling caps in. While these aren't exactly a new product, our good friends at Cognition up in Madison have come up with a rather Wisconsin themed hat for us. link

Glow in the Dark Paint


Once we get the pricing nailed down; we will be adding these glow in the dark colors to our frame building program. Keep an eye out!

Update~
Only three colors are currently available: Green, Blue, and Violet (not pictured). The violet takes an additional 2 weeks to get, but the green and blue are accessible now. The price ... an additional 250 bucks gets you a frame and fork (depending on the amount of UV light it is saturated with) that can glow in the dark for 4-12 hours! How great is that?!

UPDATE!
Glo paint option has been added to the frame/bike builders!

NEW Milwaukee Carbon Clinchers!


We came out with some carbon rims back in September but they were only available in tubular. We promised to have the clinchers soon, and, well, we were wrong, but HERE they are now.

You may have seen the Tubular version winning the single-speed national championships but if you blinked you can check out the photo over on the Ellis Cycles Blog (Congrats James).

We have a few built up to our MBC hubs already, but feel free to email us for a quote to build them up to 28h hubs of your choice. (sorry wheelbuilds only. No individual rim sales)

We've had requests for the Polo Guard in colors so we had a very limited batch anodized.
We didn't put a crankset option with these, but give us a call or email and we'll give you a set of black or silver (165mm or 170mm) arms for $30 extra with the purchase of one of these!
