Well, while the whole tariff thing is pile of you-know-what, we got this here complete Bassi from Montréal Hogs Back here at the shoppe. Built up with the stuff we like (it’s even got our bars from SimWorks) stuff that’ll last you a long time and not send you on a wild goose chase to replace parts (when they eventually wear out).
This one is a size Large, so come take it for a spin if you think it’ll fit ya. Thanks!

When you are on the margin of the sizes available for a production bicycle, finding a bike that can tick most of the boxes can be a tough one. Luckily for Will, he was able to scoop up a 𝚂𝚞𝚛𝚕𝚢 𝙱𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚜 Ogre from us and we did some swapping out in the handlebar and crank department to make his New Bike Day come true. When he first stopped in, we shared our fondness for heavy music (Krallice, SUNN0))), Darkthrone), talked repair options, and it all grew from there. So pumped to get him out into the world on such an awesome and capable machine, it’s the best kind of stuff. Thanks Will!

We are so happy to get Alexander Klavitter on his very first Rivendell Bicycle Works 🥶 ! He scooped up the frame (an old double top tuber), supplied a few parts, and had us do the rest (uh hem, we build really good wheels). This thing is so classy and practical, we are so pumped that Alex had such a beautiful bike to ride around the city and beyond. Big olde SaddleSack bag incoming, don’t you fret. Happy New Bike Day Alex!!
