Bike Building Workshops | Sept 8 | Sept 29 | Oct 20, 2019
Building up your own bike from scratch can be a very rewarding experience. You can customize every part of the bike and build a truly unique machine that is perfect for you. At these clinics we will talk about options, show examples builds, answer questions about building the bikes, and actually build up a bike. Whether you want to build up or update a bike yourself, or if you want to have a bike built up for you at your local bike shop, these clinics are a great way to understand the process and explore build options. Join Bike Geek, Dan Willis and expert mechanics from Spoke Life Cycles for these nerdy and fun bike builds.
