OBB Victoria is Open on Monday May 21st
Yep, we’re open for the long weekend. 12 Noon – 5pm. Come say hi after (or before) your rides!
Nanaimo Build: Kona Operator
Kona launched the Operator platform last year and it’s been a super successful bike for them. It’s low slung, with a nicely tuned single pivot setup, and has oversized pivots and bearings so it’s not in the shop all the time for service. Kona bikes are available only at our Nanaimo location, but they’ve been...
Nanaimo Build: Custom Venge, Stealth Edition
Our Nanaimo location gets to do some sick builds, and this custom Venge is one of them. Details: Specialized S-Works Venge frameset, limited Project Black colourway Dura-Ace drivetrain Dura-Ace carbon clincher wheels Nokon housing FSA K-Force Light crankset 16lbs
Westshore Build: 2012 Specialized S-Works Epic 29er

Westshore Custom Build: Ridley Helium
Here’s another pretty hot build from Westshore. This time it’s a Ridley Helium with SRAM Red drivetrain, DT Swiss 1440 Tricon wheels, Pro Stealth Evo bar/stem, and Time I-Clic Titan carbon pedals. 14.5 lbs.
New for 2012: Norco Valence
Looking for a bike to ride this year’s Victoria Gran Fondo? Endurance road bikes have been amazing for BC road riding, training, and the charity ride/fondo circuit. This year Norco has a new offering that, despite possibly being named after this guy, is actually incredible. The Norco Valence is available in aluminum as well, but...
Fit Marv Custom Build
Derek built this one up, so it’s got a nice & roomy toptube and big bars. It’s priced well at $1175. Frame: Fit Marv, 21.25″ Fork: Fit Shiv Stem: Animal Jumpoff Remix Bar: S&M Hoder (9.5 x 30″) Cranks: WeThePeople Salt plus Ring: Haro Forum Lite 25T Chain: KMC 710 Pedals: Wellgo MG-1 Wheels: Macneil...
Specialized Venge Stealth Edition
It was down to the wire getting this S-Works Venge built up for a top secret video shoot with Simon Whitfield, but the final product turned out sick. It’s built up with a Dura-Ace drivetrain, Specialized controls, & C50 wheels. It weighed in at under 16 lbs. Stay tuned to see the bike in a...
Westshore Build: Venge Pro
Dura-Ace, FACT cranks, Roval Rapide EL45 wheels, etc… It ends up tipping the scales at 16 lbs, which is pretty crazy light for an aero road bike.
S-Works Stumpjumper 29er
Again, it’s not exactly a “custom” build, but we only sell a handful of bikes this nice all year so it’d be a shame not to share it. S-Works + wagon wheels + 130mm of travel = about as capable a bike as you can get these days.
