Project fodder

To feed the project enthusiast, Blackstone Bicycle Works keeps an aisle stocked with loose used and donated parts—usually everything for a standard frame build-up and, sometimes, for the more arcane endeavor. During the summer months, the sought after vintage racing parts (Campagnolo, Cinelli, etc.) tend to accumulate. To clear space in our salvage aisle during these times, we sometimes throw swappers and street sales. Watch bike-related Chicago listservs or U of C campus bulletin boards for information on these events.

All sales are final so be sure of compatibility, particularly with European builds. It’s generally advisable to just bring the project bike into the shop.
