Civilian Bikes from Idaho

My old buddy Tyson has been building some bike frames for a while now out in Idaho. Met him when he was working at NYC Velo as a wrench/sales person. Needless to say, NYC didn't fulfill his needs to outdoorsy things like hiking, bear fighting and camping so he moved to Boise. Nice guy, big guy, diligent guy.


Check out his work at http://www.ridecvln.com/home.

Printshop Move

We've moved our printshop out of the East Village in Manhattan to Long Island City in Queens. Still getting set up and making sure that all bugs are ironed out from the new space. Things look sweet so far and I apologize for any shipping delays.
