Big Swingin' Cycles

Yeti Cycles- 2012 looks to be the most noteworthy year in the modern Yeti era. Yeti has introduced their new "Super Bike" platform, based on the ground breaking, switch technology, eccentric, suspension design. The SB line up will feature both 26 and 29 inch bikes, in alloy and carbon. Come by Big Swingin' Cycles to see these bikes firsthand, or to take a ride on one of our Yeti demos.

Giant Bicycles- Giant continues to push the envelope with regard to performance and value. Giant models of particular note for 2012 include the new Defy Composite 1 - a $2400 Shimano Ultegra equipped carbon fiber road bike, The $4600 carbon fiber Defy Advanced 0, with electronic shifting, and further additions to their already robust offering of 29'er mountain bikes. Come by Big Swingin' and see first hand the elegant results of Giant's manufacturing skill.

Ridley Bicycles- There is a simple design philosophy at Ridley - build the best riding bicycle, end of story. The seminal impulse for every design comes from cyclists - professional competitors, club racers and enthusiastic amateurs, all of whom share the same desire: to possess the best bicycle in the world. Ridley computer-engineer desire into designs, and then bring them to life in prototype form. They then build a sequence of prototypes, analyze tube profiles, materials and frame geometry. Ridley stress-test in the laboratory, and then ride-and-repeat until every bicycle that bears the name rides like a Ridley. Check out the new Noah FB at Ridley-Bikes.com to see the fruits of Ridley's intensive labor.

Orbea- Orbea, one of Euope's largest bike makers, has been refining their art for over 100 years. For 2012, Orbea's line up of full carbon bikes is impressive. 2012 sees an expansion of Orbea's flag ship road frame, the Orca, into three distinct models, made from the same mold: Orca Gold, Silver, and the new Orca Bronze - bringing Orca technology to a more affordable platform. Orbea is a member of an elite few bicycle companies (in Europe or America) to have the coveted ISO 9001 certification - the "Holy Grail" of quality control certifications. Stop by Big Swingin' for an up close inspection of Basque pride!

Niner Bikes- Thinking about making the switch to 29 inch wheels? Why not go with the company that ONLY does 29 inch wheels? Niner didn't just stuff larger wheels on to an existing chassis. It required a lot of work and testing to dial in the geometry to feel right in all situations. Design parameters from the beginning were to design a bike that didn't require a learning curve. Since all Niner does is 29ers, they had to get it right. Expectations were understandably high. The result: Niner's dedication to The Big Revolution has been critically acclaimed by some of the top bicycling magazines in the world. For 2012 - Niner updates its alloy hardtails with the inclusion of hydroformed tubes and tapered headsets. We also see the carbon version of the Jet 9 - bringing an absolute rocket of a 29'er full suspension bike to market.

Moots Cycles- We realize the last thing you really need in this world is an ultra-expensive titanium bicycle. But we also understand if you ride with passion and look at every day spent on your bike as an investment in something you love- well, maybe it should be the first thing you really need. And if that's the case, we encourage you to check out Moots. After all, these are bikes made by people who live to ride... just like you. For 2012, Moots brings their "RSL" treatment to the Pshyclo X cross bike, expands the VaMoots road line up, and introduces a new full suspension platform.

Marin Bikes- Locally owned Marin Bikes, of Novato, in Marin County, continues to bring innovative bike designs to market with exceptional value. For 2012, we see a massive redesign of their Quad Link suspension design, resulting in a substantially more elegant design, as well as improvements to their 29'er line up, and some exciting new urban bikes.

Ritchey Design- We've always been a big fan of Tom Ritchey. For 2012, we see the re introduction of the legendary Swiss Cross, cross bike, with modern improvements to make this bike a sure bet for anyone seeking a cross bike, or more versatile, steel road bike. Tom also makes the world's best travel bike - the Break-Away. Available in steel or Ti, road or cross. Forgetting for a moment that this is a travel bike, the Break Away can stand shoulder to shoulder with any notable road bike on the market right now. The fact that you can take it with you in the included, standard size suitcase is simply a bonus, albeit a big one!.

Electra Bicycle Co.- For those of you in search of the ultimate in comfort and style, you absolutely have to see Electra's line of cruiser bikes for men, women and children. We offer a range of Electa bikes, including the hot new Verse & Ticino series bikes, Townie, Amsterdam, Coaster, and Basic Cruiser bikes, as well as their quality kid's bikes.
