Another Mission Bicycle Spotted in UK
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 at FiveTen Studio in Oakland
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:
831 Broadway
Oakland,
CA 94607
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:
Pinky Bike for sale
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!

Tuesdays and Thursdays are my favorite days.

Mission Bicycle has jumped the pond!
A Mission Bicycle has officially been spotted in Dublin, Ireland! Our good friend Francois moved over seas after a couple months working down in Silicon Valley. He decided to take a little piece of us home with him.
We call it the Cream-cycle, but I'm sure Francois has an awesome name all picked out.
Check out Andy and his Mission Bicycle
Hello Everyone!
Andy was nice enough to drop by Dolores Park the other day and talk to us about "Trotz", his Mission Bicycle. Keep your eyes on our youtube page, (http://www.youtube.com/MissionBicycle) for more videos each week. If anyone else wants to send us a video with their bike, we would love to feature it here.
Orders are going great this month thanks to local word of mouth and this wonderful thing called the internet! Currently we have a black beauty with pink wheels on the way and a green machine that will catch some eyes out in the Sunset of SF. We'll take some pictures soon and post them ASAP!
Keep riding those beautiful fixies!
Some feedback from the blogs
We've gotten some pretty awesome feedback on the internets. Thought I would share some of it with ya'll:
"I absolutely love this bike. A very beautiful, clean and simplistic single-speed road machine"
"I do like this company’s approach though. Order online, keep in simple with one product, but customize as people desire. Start small. Focus on quality. Here’s the founder’s blog. I hope these guys succeed!"

"one of the bikes I was drooling over"
"I would kill for one of these bad boys."
"my soon to be new bike"

"mate that is an awesome bike"
"Now sexy design and custom is no longer a dream"
"Simple. Efficient. Nice. One of the first customer is Joi Ito for cogsake! I know a few companies which were blessed to have Joi as early customer, there are probably worse ways to start a business ;)"
