Pedal Revolution: In the workstand…..Sam Hillborne.
May 6, 2012In this installment of “In the workstand” I’d like to introduce you to Sam. It’s not everyday we get to build a nice new Rivendell from the frame up at Pedal Revolution, but it’s a lot of fun when we do.

Pedal Revolution Used Bike Update 5-5-12. Viva La Mixte Revolution!
May 5, 2012Pedal Rev built up two refurbished mixtes this week. Both are 49cm frames with pretty nice detailing.
The Fuji is a complete rebuild with all new parts. This one was built up as a coaster brake rear, rim brake front. Every thing replaced on it including the fork. Very classy and rides like a champ. $550.
The next is a frame that got an interesting textured paint job. Not sure of the maker but probably an 80′s Japanese manufacturer. This was a partial rebuild: New wheels, headset, bottom bracket, drivetrain, brake pads, tires, cables, housing etc. $395.
Both ride great and have distinctive personalities to match.
