Proper bike fit has a huge impact on both your enjoyment and your performance. One important reason we promote the use of bike shops is in their value in helping you select the Gunnar that fits you best. We recommend a professional fitting for just about everyone looking to invest in a Gunnar. Connecting the Dots means locating the saddle and the handlebars in relation to the bottom bracket, as shown in the illustration at right. If you already feel comfortable on your current rig, then it's easy to see you match up with Gunnar through our Connect the Dots method. First, measure yourself and your favorite fit-up: Saddle Height: Measure it from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle going up the seat tube. Saddle Top to Bars: Measure from the top of the saddle where you measured the saddle height. Measure to the top center of the handlebars at the stem. Saddle to Bar Drop: The saddle to bar drop is the vertical distance [...]

You don't necessarily need a custom frame to compete in PBP. In fact, you don't even need a true randonneuring frame. James started that way, with a Trek touring bike which he converted to a 650b wheel size. After that didn't work out as planned, he sought out an affordable 650b frameset before finally landing on the Soma GR v1, which he promptly stripped it of its logos and repainted. Now that he had a frame, he wanted to make the build something unique. You see, he has a penchant for customizing otherwise overlooked details with his bikes. Logos stripped,…
If you've got a lot of stuff to haul around, then cargo bikes are great. If you're just commuting, however, they're pretty heavy and cumbersome. Does this mean that if you do both things, then you need two bikes? Well, not necessarily. The TReGo turns your existing bike into a stuff-hauler.
In Los Angeles, you can bite off more dirt than you can chew. Fortunately, if you like camping and getting dirty, most of the campgrounds here can be accessed via dirt tracks. Problem is, you need a bike that make it up those steep climbs and ideally has a generator lamp since a lot of your climbing might be done at night during the winter months. A little while ago, a Soma Wolverine was featured here on the site, prompting another Golden Saddle Cyclery customer, Phil, to pull the trigger on his own, albeit with a few different build specs.…
