Our custom bike program over here at Fyxation has taken on a life of it's own and we keep pushing the envelope in terms of what we can offer customers. This latest custom build is by far our most "custom" and was developed in conjunction with a very cool local coffee company here in Milwaukee, Colectivo Coffee Roasters.
We plan on telling more of a story about this custom build and the latest twist to our custom bike program but in the meantime...
Recently, the favorite part of my day here at Fyxation has been to see the latest custom builds that our crew has been working on. This morning I came in to the office a little late and when I walked in I saw this. Whoa!
We've been busy cranking out a lot of custom builds recently but this has been one of our favorites. We were recently contacted by a rider in New York that was looking for a unique city bike that could handle commuting and riding around Brooklyn and NYC year round. He wanted to have an internal geared bike that...
We love building custom bikes, but each custom comes with a learning curve. This Quiver cafe build is outfitted with SRAM's I-motion 3 internal hub. This hub is a terrific option to add a few gears to your build. It's affordable and simple to use...
The guys at Eighthinch released their Fixed Gear Conversion kit a while back and we've been meaning to give it a little air time here on blog for some time. It's actually a really good idea for anyone looking to convert an old road bike into a fixed gear.

We recently had the opportunity to build up a custom Quiver for a board member of the Wisconsin Bike Fed and really wanted to use this bike to show what we were capable of doing with our new custom build program. Having a frameset as flexible as our Quiver really gives a lot of options when it comes to building a custom bike. For this specific build, the customer wanted an internal 5 speed...
We recently started working with a new shop in Denver called The Urban Cyclist and we wanted to give them a quick shout out here on our blog. The Urban Cyclist was started by Darrin Duran earlier in the summer and is located right in Downtown Denver. Darrin used to work at another shop in town and decided that the time was right to open up his own bike shop. It would appear that the move was a good one because business in booming!
We met the crew at Revolights a few years ago when we were exhibitors at the SF Bike Expo in San Francisco, CA. Revolights makes a pretty unique lighting system for your bike that is designed to help you see and be seen when you're riding at night. Their system is designed to mount to your existing wheels and through the use of some LED lights, an accelerometer, magnets and a bit of magic, lights up the LED's...
