Frederick Kid’s Triathlon

We just completed another great installment of the Frederick Kid’s Triathlon! Thanks to all the great kids that participated in this years event. It was fun as always to see the kids being active with a smile.

Moots MootoX RSL 29er

We just finished Ken's new Moots MootoX RSL 29er. What a joy it was to build. With a 15QR tapered steer tube, Press Fit BB30, Industry Nine wheels, XTR bits and tons of Titanium this bicycle is hard to beat. Enjoy your new bike Ken!

The Bicycle Escape

Mason Dixon Roller Vixens Victorious

The Bicycle Escape sponsored the Mason-Dixon Roller Vixens this year and I am proud to announce that they were victorious in Saturday's bout against Virginia's Mother State Roller Derby. Both teams played a good clean game with the final score 173 to 155. On a special note a lovely lady who happens to be one of the owners of Ye' Olde TBE was awarded the MVP unicorn trophy in her debut bout! Congratulations Danielle aka Babyface Bandit!

Bike To Work Day Winner

Congratulations to Aron who won this years big prize at Bike to Work Day. We hope Aron enjoys his new commuter bike. If you are not Aron that means you did not win the bike, sorry but fear not we will donate another bike at next years event. Good luck in advance!

The Bicycle Escape is MOVING!

The Bicycle Escape is proud to announce that we are relocating to the Wegmans/Clemson Corner shopping center the was just built across form our current location. The move will take place in December, 2011. The larger space will allow us to better serve our clients.

QBall with Fat Fork

This bike was an absolute joy to work on. It is high function and high style just like I like it.

The segmented fork was built by Andrew Watson and features Cherry wood caps on the top of the fork. Arne let me play a bit with the aesthetics so I surprised him with a cherry top cap and bar plugs that I turned in our off site machine shop (aka granddad's garage). The QBall frame was made by Scott Quiring of Quiring Cycles.

Enjoy Arne!
