Chrome Yalta FTC Backpack

Youthful energy runs deep here at NYC Velo, fueling our enthusiasm for many sports and modes of transport, including one that’s particularly close to my heart…you know the one…laminated wood, grip tape, cast aluminum trucks, four urethane wheels – yes! the skateboard. Some of us here at NYC Velo have burned through our share of Bones bearings and slappied the rounded steel curbs of our fair city. Skateboarding the streets of New York City looks something like this.

Speaking of cities and skateboarding, our friends at San Francisco-based Chrome Bags have teamed up with FTC (For The City, also SF-proud) to celebrate FTC’s 25th year as a seminal Bay-Area skateboard retailer.

To commemorate this milestone, a limited edition 25th Year Anniversary Chrome Yalta backpack has been introduced, complete with 3M reflective debossed logo on the back panel and engraved FTC25 logo on the stainless steel closure of the rolltop. Limited to 600 worldwide, we are proud to be one of a limited number of shops stocking them.

Stop in and check out our stock of the original Yalta and the London Yalta bags too!

30% off labeled courier bags and backpacks

That’s right! Stop by the shop and checkout the selection of Chrome courier bags and backpacks that we have on sale. We hand picked some colors and styles from our extensive selection and marked them down 30% (just for you.)

The Official NYC Velo Holiday Gift List

‘Tis the season… To spend money on other people!

Chances are that if you’re reading this blog, you have friends who like to ride human-powered 2-wheeled machines.  It just so happens that we specialized in “peddling” cycling-related wares to the general public (see what we did there?)

If you’re a bit stumped on what to get the cyclist who has everything, then check out our holiday shopping list, which features gifts at myriad price ranges.

1 – NYC Tour Brass Bell $15 Commonly referred to as the “Crane”bell, this sucker lets you warn others of your arrival, in style.

2 – Brooks B17 Saddle $105 The B17 saddle is an icon, a classic, and now comes in 6 colors, a great way to improve any ride!

3 – Oakley Frogskins $110-130 West coast style, limited edition colors, made in the USA.  Kids love ‘em, adults who remember them when they were kids love ‘em, and bike nerds love ‘em.

4 – Campy Record Track Hubs- 32H $475 Another modern classic, the perfect basis for your next fixie wheel build.

5 – Deluxe Tune $125 Winter weather is bound to get crappier and our bikes will no doubt take the brunt, why not surprise someone with the gift of clean?

6 – Gore Race Overshoes Thermal $100 For the aforementioned crappy weather commute, keep your lower extremities dry, cozy, and warm.

7 – Indy Fab Corvid $8500 Eighty-five hundred bills doesn’t seem like such a deal, but this barely used demo frameset is sporting all new components for a savings of over $2k.

8 – Mission Workshop Rondel Shoes $130 It’s about time someone came out with some bust-around-town sneakers that clip into your ATAC/SPD/Crank Bros pedals… clips and straps seem so 2009.

9 – NYC Velo cycling cap $20 The new edition has landed in the shop, great for keeping your head warm(er) and the low afternoon sun out of your eyes.

10 – Embrocation Volume 6 $20 Bike culture in Journal form, so your partner doesn’t think your reading just another bike racing rag.

11 – Holdfast Straps $59 If you want security at the pedal, but aren’t into ”positive cleat engagement”, check out these Made in Brooklyn Velcro toe straps.

12 – Chrome Dually Reflective backpack $140 Chrome bags last a lifetime (their warranty says so), and the generous reflective panels on this bag ensure that it’s a long one.

13 – EWR NYC Velo Wool trainer $125 When it gets cold, wool is the only way to go, and this jacket stands about the crowd.

14 – NYC Velo Geekhouse Rockcity Frameset $1150 Custom steel frames, handmade and powdercoated in Boston, except they’re available in stock sizes, and without the 6 month wait, so not really custom… but damn nice to behold and ride.

15 – Princeton Tec PUSH Headlight $50 Finally, an amazingly bright 100 lumen headlight that doesn’t elicit comparisons to a 3 d-cell duct-taped to your handlebar.

We’d like to wish everyone a happy holiday season!

CX Nats Viewing Party

Are you a fan of Cyclocross?  So are we.

Did  you want to go out to Bend, OR this year to go see it happen, only to realize that it’s a royal pain to get out to Bend, OR?  Same here.

If you love CX and can’t make it out to the west coast, then do the next best thing and join us as we watch CX Nationals at the shop.  Cyclingdirt.com will be showing the races starting at 2:30 on Sunday, Dec 12, and we will be showing them till the shop closes at 6PM.   We’ll have awesome coffee on hand (as per usual), as well as some edibles to much on.

In addition to racing and coffee, We are going to give away a few totally rad prizes during the viewing party.  We’ve got some some brand-new-ultra-secret-not-even-out-yet messenger bags to give away courtesy of our friends at Chrome.  These new bags are designed with the bike racer in mind, so you’d better be excited.   We’ll also be giving away a few of CJ’s highly sought-after “NYCX” Beanies.  If you’ve been to any CX race in the tri-state area  this year then you know how rad and rare they are.
