NCC X MOOTS Custom Frame

North Central Cyclery recently teamed up with Moots to do a custom cyclocross frame with the rear end of a 29'er to make for a cross bike with tons of clearance. Neat-o. Some have given it the name "Minotoor". It is yet to be built up, but come in and check it out some time and order one for yourself if ya like it.

Custom decals and all.

Our good friend Mikey admires the frame while resembling a greek god with the most majestic hair ever. Also, don't mind that crappy seatpost. Just temporary in order to hold the frame in a work stand...

Vamoots CR Photoshoot for NCC

I recently had the pleasure of photographing this very exceptional Moots build that we did at North Central Cyclery. Vamoots CR frame, ENVE bars and fork, Moots post and stem, all Chris King bearings and full Ultegra. A very proper and reliable choice of components with a superior ride quality. I'd love to spend a few hours riding this thing on some smooth open roads. I chose to photograph it on the railroad because I thought the steel train tracks somehow complimented the titanium frame and the location allowed for a lot of depth. Check out a few more shots below:

Aaron's Moots PsychloX

Aaron's Moots build has been completed, and I took some photos of it basking in a bed of gravel before we chopped the steerer tube and set it free. Highlights include Sram Rival gruppo, Eriksen "Sweetpost", King headset, Ergon saddle, Enve fork...

The first of many Moots to be built at North Central Cyclery.

Chalk/Titanium

In preparation for our upcoming Brompton event at the shop, we decided to create a little display on our chalkboard to showcase the brand. I traced the shadow of an unfolded Brompton onto the board and colored it in. Chalk/chalkboards aren't media that I'm particularly comfortable with, and drawing on a big rough vertical board is a lot more difficult than I imagined, but I was surprised with the way it turned out. We added some notes to highlight cool things about the Bromptons - informative and decorative. Woo!

...And here's a sneak peek at that Moots build in progress. It's almost finished and looks quite exceptional.

Baller Bikes at the Shop

We've been building up some real fancy bikes lately at NCC. It's been cool. I snapped some photos of a few things we had sitting around and utilized our freshly painted chalkboard. Above is a Project One Trek Domane. I actually really like the look and feel of the Dura-Ace 900 stuff and the clear "red smoke" paint over the carbon looks fantastic in the light.

We've recently became a Moots dealer too, and this PsychloX frame is the first one we're building up. The craftsmanship of this thing is phenomenal. It will be getting an Enve fork and a bunch of other nice things.

We've still got a few Beargrease hangin out, and this one received some "icy cool" touches.

The Portland Design Works Dios Thronous saddles are made from the same material that those Crocs "shoes" are made of. This means they're completely waterproof, scuff resistant, durable, lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable. The perfect fatbike saddle.

E-Thirteen pedals. Durable, grippy, wide, nice bearings.
