About This Website

This old wallbike.com website has been around for a while and it is getting pretty creaky. We have contracted for a new site to be built with the basic e-commerce features all built in. We hope it will be a lot more customer-friendly and easier to maintain.

Meanwhile
I have found our Wordpress Blog and our Flickr photostream to be easy-to-use tools for posting news and pictures. They are where most of the new non-catalog material goes.

I know using this site can be challenging. I am a regular internet shopper and I understand that there are conventions of useability that we ignore on this site. Please accept my apologies and bear with us.

Thanks

Bill Laine, prop.

Update, 5/29/10: Still working. We have to enter all products manually. It's just a slow process.

FlyingVelo LEATHER SADDLEBAGS

 

 

 

Atoc LITEBEAMS

Simple brackets that let you move your light from the handlebar to the quick release or the lowrider boss.

Tuesday, July 8th

7/24 update: We have the bags and the prices. I am slow to get them on the website. (We are pretty busy right now.) The 'May' saddlebag will cost $201. The 'Retro' frontbag will cost $398. The webpage for the saddlebag is up but you cannot order online. The webpage for the frontbag is up also.

GUU-WATANABE Bags

Here is a picture of our first shipment of Guu-watanabe bags, still in Tokyo. We ordered a handlebar bag x5 and a saddle bag x4. We weren't sure what to get but the handlebar bag is tested in the current Bicycle Quarterly.

(on the GUU website: frontbag retro, saddlebag may)

This is a test-the-waters order. If there is a market I will carry more variety. These are very nice people to work with.

 

This Brooks couch was created by Scarabike - "a bicycle producing company" in Japan. They have a matching stool.

what was wrong with the picture.
