Frame (What is this?)
Frames are the main component of a bicycle, it's the skeleton of the bike on which wheels and other components are fitted. Our frames our made out of steel. If you're curious about the causes and effect of different material (e.g. carbon, aluminum, steel) in bicycle frames there is a great tutorial here.

Rims (What is this?)
Rims are the outside part of the bicycle wheel that tires attach to. We only stock one type of rim, the Velocity Deep V's. They are very popular for city riding on account of of their durability and available colors.

Tires
The base CST tires are fine for general riding conditions. Upgrading the Vittoria Rubinos will give you better traction and are much less likely to get a puncture flat.
(product info)
Vittoria Rubinos have Nylon 60 TPI casings, Kevlar® Endura 3D Compound, with high duration and exciting road-behaviour, PRB puncture protection, updated tread pattern, with Dot C.O.M. Vector Design, and a grommet rigid bead (4 wires), for an easier fitting. Check out Vitorria's website for more information.

Hubs are the center part of your wheel, they connect spokes to your rim and your wheel to the frame. The type of hub you use will determines how smooth your new bicycle with ride.

Spokes and Nipples (What is this?)
Spokes are like the bones of your wheel, they attach your hub to your rim and need to be strong without adding too much weight to your entire bicycle. Of course, black spokes cost a little more, but they do look amazing. Also an upgrade from "DT Champions" to "DT Competitions" help you loose 35 grams of weight per wheel. So effectively take 2.5 ounces of dead weight off your bike.

Handlebars and Tape/Grip (What is this?)
Your handlebars make a big difference in how you position your body on the bicycle and also the style you will be portraying when you ride.

Headset (What is this?)
Your headset attaches your frame to your fork and determines how smoothly your bicycle will turn. Steel is heavier than alloy and the stronglight O-Light LX will take a few grams off as well. If you're building your dream fixed gear the Acros headset is the hands down winner. Smooth sealed bearings with an array of colors and light as a feather.

Bottom Bracket (What is this?)
The bottom bracket is the set of bearing that your crank relies on to let you spin as fast as you can. We only use the best shimano bottom brackets, but if you want to take off some weight and spin a little faster the Stronglight JP400 won't disappoint you.
Close [X]
Crankset (What is this?)
The Crank is the two arms that connect to the bottom bracket. These are what your pedals attach to and also what your front chain ring attaches to as well. So to break it down further, a crank consists of two arms, and a chain ring. They all assemble together with your bottom bracket so your pedal your bicycle.

These cranks are the hottest colorized track cranks on the market. We are currently sold out of the Gun Metal Gray. If you choose silver, you will get a polished silver RD2 Sugino Crank, shiny and sexy.

Seatpost (What is this?)
The Seatpost connects your saddle to the frame. We only use the highest quality alloy posts, but if you want to take your style to another level you can upgrade to the "Rockwerks Seatpost" and get that black beauty. If you want to take off a few grams you might want to consider the "Thomson Seatpost", known through out the cycling industry as a leader in technology and style. The "Thomson" also has an adjustable tilt feature for full control of your body position.

A nice upgrade to everyone who rides regularly in wet weather. These "Rustbuster Chains" are "rust proof". Anyone who has seen an old Schwinn from 1975 has seen rusted chain that is now an artifact. If they would have had these chains back then, we'd all be riding Schwinns..... probably not, but you get the point.

These "KMC Gold Chains" are awesome. Smooth as silk and a lot lighter than normal chains. Chains are notoriously heavy, but this little gem really performs.... and it's gold.

Gear Configuration
By default, your Mission Bicycle only comes with a front brake and fixed gear. If you upgrade to Freewheel + Fixed Gear, you'll get a front brake and both gear combinations. If you want to change this setup, fill out the "Further Customization" box on the order confirmation page and we'll hook it up.
(product info)
All Mission Bicycles come set up for fixed gear riding. This means that when your bike is moving, the pedals are turning. (i.e. no coasting) If you have any questions about this you can check out our FAQ page.
Close [X]
(product info)
A freewheel will let your bicycle coast. Most people who ride these style of bikes have their bicycles set up as fixed, so we will add the freewheel IN ADDITION to having a fixed gear. If you choose this option your bike will be able to coast and ride fixed at the flip of a wheel.
