Our monthly email is an ongoing bike conversation for creative people who spend a lot of time in their garage.
When it came time to pick a headset for the #Casca When it came time to pick a headset for the #CascadeCougar, you know we had to reach out to our friends at White Industries. Their engraved logos pair so well with our parts aesthetically, they’re machined in California, have a split crown-race for easy installation, and use recycled/able packaging. Man, this bike is gonna be DIPPED! 🤩
@blackcatbicycles making it look so casual as he f @blackcatbicycles making it look so casual as he fires up the #CascadeCougar 🧊. I guess after 24 years of building beautiful custom one-off frames for people, you either get stressed out, or you find the zen workflow. This dude is a straight up WIZARD, stay tuned!🍿 📹: @mybucketsgottaholeinit and @onko_rinkus
Ok, so here we have the inspiration for the @black Ok, so here we have the inspiration for the @blackcatbicycles #CascadeCougar we’re building up for the @made.bike show! Mr Paul ordered this custom Petaluma-made Salsa A La Cart sometime around 1992 when PAUL Component started to become profitable, and he had a vision for a bike that was in many ways ahead of its time, but now is a piece of history. Drop-Bar mountain bikes seem to kinda come and go as a trend (more recently called Monster Cross bikes, and now called…?). This one is a fun example with the “Jelly Bean” paintjob, Cook Brothers cranks, early PAUL “DDT” hubs and brakes, a WTB/King headset, and… that STEM. The Gnass seatbag was made in Chico, I think he makes fire-fighter gear now. Anyways, we aren’t going to *replicate* this bike, we’re just going to take some cues from it. Stay tuned to see what we come up with, and how you can enter to win!
Oh boy, do we have a SWEET project in the works to Oh boy, do we have a SWEET project in the works to tell y’all about! Without spilling out everything all at once (it’s a LOT), let’s just key you in on what’s in the oven. We decided we wanted to bring a sick custom one-of-a-kind bike to show off at @made.bike this year, and we somehow talked @blackcatbicycles into building a frame inspired by Mr. Paul’s original old-school, California-made drop-bar Salsa mountain bike, which is something cool we will ALSO be bringing to Made, and then we’re gona dip that Black Cat in the sweetest of our favorite bike parts (more on THOSE later), and THEN (catching breath), we’re going to raffle the bike off (this could be YOURS?!), to raise money for @oakridgetrailsalliance ! Go ahead and follow the #CascadeCougar hashtag now if you don’t want to miss the process posts by us and some of our favorite brands. Stay tuned! 📷: @mybucketsgottaholeinit
Ever since we introduced our Quick Release Seatcol Ever since we introduced our Quick Release Seatcollar years ago, folks have been requesting a bolt-on version. But with so many other seatcollars on the market, we didn’t initially take the requests too seriously. Since the advent of dropper-posts, we started thinking about this more often. There really is a need these days for a seatcollar with deeper, more uniform clamping distribution: Enough to keep your dropper post from slipping in the frame, but also with a large, evenly dispersed clamping force to avoid the dreaded “dropper-binding”. The convex back of our “floating button” design evenly disperses clamping force, and avoids pinching or binding at a lighter weight than a steel barrel, is replaceable if damaged, and follows the simple PAUL aesthetic nicely. These are lovingly machined by us to the highest tolerances out of USA sourced 6061 & 7075 aluminum right here in sunny Chico, California. They are currently available in 30.0mm, 31.8mm, 33.1 and 35.0mm, in polished, purple, black, silver, and with orange accents. Available NOW on our website, or from your favorite local bike shop. If you want to learn more about it, search up our latest YouTube video. Have a great weekend, we hope you get to RIDE! ✌️
🚨New Shirt Alert!🚨 We’ve been offering this @the.s 🚨New Shirt Alert!🚨 We’ve been offering this @the.scorps T in classic black for a couple of years, and it’s definitely one of our favorites. But we felt like it was time to offer a more… shall we say… “Summer Dirtbag” appropriate version, and we think this Cloud Tie Dye version suits custom-cut-up-dirty-river-swimming-blackberry-picking-stains QUITE nicely. Available on our website right MEOW. ✌️
