Carytown Bikes multi-sport team member, Marty Stiegmann clearly knows how to peak for a race as well as anybody. Once again he timed his training perfectly again this year and won the Duathlon World Championships in Spain last week! Marty won using a strong performance in the bike leg(and his HED Stinger 6′s) and held...
Met with Hinmaton at Stijl Cycles Tuesday night. Worked up the geometry for something really cool. True fast handling road bike with the ability to run fenders and fat tires? Yup. Disc brakes and mounts for lightweight racks? You bet. This thing is going to be amazing.
This past Saturday was the Virginia and Mid-Atlantic (MABRA) track championships. All the way up in Trexlertown, PA on their 333 meter velodrome. After a season of racing down here in Richmond on our own little track it was time to head up and test ourselves against guys from up north on a real track....

Sep 15, 2011 • At this years Interbike show Surly showed off its newest creation, The Ogre. Its main use will be for multi day off-road tours. The most innovative part of the bike is its adjustable wheelbase, which can be re-positioned in the rear dropouts.
Everyone who rides a bike competes. Maybe you compete against others or maybe you compete against yourself. Maybe you compete against the weather or the aging process. It doesn’t matter. On the road, in the mountains or taking on the challenge of multi-sport, there is competition in all of us. Team Carytown Bicycle Company was...

Sep 14, 2011 • A few days ago we sold a Cinelli Mash track frame to Ryan Call. He was looking to trade in his Brooklyn frame because he liked the style and ride of the Mash better. Yesterday he sent us a photo of the bike after he built it up. It turned out really sweet.
We have some new shirts in the works… check ‘em out! Our new logo makes it’s official debut… Our love and what fuels it…
If you’re looking for an awesome single speed bike for a great price, this bike can’t be beat! With a rear coaster brake, commuting and recreational riding become simple and fun. It rides great, looks stylish, and, best of all, it is less than three hundred dollars!
For my Acadia trip I stripped off all the extras on my Civia Bryant and put on some Kenda Happy Medium cross tires. It looks pretty awesome. I almost don’t want to change it back into my commuter bike but the fall brings wet roads and I would regret it if I don’t put my...
Fans of Niner bikes take note! Niner bikes are taking their game to the next level in 2012. The already light and fast Air9 gets a full redesign with hydroformed tubing and a tapered head tube… not only that it’s little bro the EMD does too! What could be better than that you ask? How...
Power came back on around 6:30 today and things are getting back to normal. If you called and left us voice mail we’ll finally get to hear it in the morning. Thanks for bearing with us while we worked in the dark. .
I was really hoping that any update to this post was going to be good news. Life is often not fair and I am sad to say that Mike’s condition did not improve and at 5am Monday he passed away. I could talk about Mike as a talented athlete or as a customer. I would...
