Mission Bicycle Blog

Its been a while since our last blog post, and we sincerely apologize for that, its been hectic the last few weeks. We've been trying to work through all of our orders and keep our customers happy since thats priority #1, but we're still trying to stay involved with our fans and the community.

In that vein, we're contributing a prize to the 3rd Annual Supermarket Street Sweep coming up on December 6th. Its a great event for charity meeting on the Embarcadero in San Francisco by the Cupid Span's sculpture (its that huge bow and arrow I'm sure many of you have seen). The whole point is to collect food for the San Francisco Food Bank at 5 different grocery stores and bring it back, you can win for fastest time, or most amount of food brought back. You can spend as much or as little as you want, but its for a great cause so we encourage as much people as possible to come out and attend. For more information check out their website at: Supermarket Street Sweep

We're putting up a custom painted frame set as our prize so come on out and do your best!

For all of you who didn't make it out to FiveTen Studio a couple weeks back, you're going to have a second chance!

FiveTen Studio is throwing a party to celebrate the success of their bicycle exhibit that has been running over the last month. This will be you last chance to check out custom bicycles created by Bay Area builders before the exhibit closes.

Come on out to support Mission Bicycles, listen to some sweet music and check out some amazing local art!

Current TV just released a new story about fixed gear bicycle companies and we were lucky enough to be included. Check it out:

Thanks Kai, and Current TV.

There's been a second sighting of a Mission Bike outside of the US. The latest came from Nik in London. He was in SF just long enough to get this custom ride built and fly it back home. Check it out:

Mission bicycle was lucky enough to be invited to be apart of a bicycle themed art gallery party last week. One of our custom bikes was shown and is now on display at Fiveten Studio:

The opening party was awesome and I'll keep everyone posted about the closing party at the end of this month. If you can, I definitely recommend stopping by this awesome gallery and checking out all of the custom built bikes.

Here's some pictures of our Root Beer themed bike amongst some awesome Graf Art:

First of all,
Happy 4th of July!
Stay safe and ride with a helmet tomorrow, there's going to be lots of idiots out on the roads.

Second note, We have built up a custom bike we're going to offer for sale starting monday!

Check out the pics!

It's a 50cm frame with front and back brakes. Standard Mission Bicycle components, but a new Soma Pink flat bar.
Prefect for someone learning to ride fixed gear who is under 5 foot 8 inches. It has a stand-over height of 29.5 inches.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who wants a Mission Bicycle, but doesn't want to wait 4 weeks for a custom build. After we get payment, I'll ship it out, same or next day. Also easy pick up anytime next week at our shop.
We only have one and it's going to go quick.

So, hit me an email if you're interested and we'll go from there. First come first served.

We hope to do more of these in the future, this will be our trial run!

The Price will be set at $875

Have a great weekend!
