Are you looking for a QUALITY BIKE that is going to last a LONG time? Look no further. Jett grrl is extremely committed to preserving our environment and
fostering a sustainable way of life. In keeping with that mentality, jett grrl specializes in custom built steel and titanium bikes. Why steel, you may ask? Because "steel is real" :O)
It's the only thing we ride. You want a bike that will ride soft and sweet forever? You do not want to be contributing to more landfill? You appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship
of a hand made frame? Those are only a few of the reasons to ride steel. Why titanium? Because it is lighter and stronger than steel, completely corrosion resistant, plus has all
of the qualities of steel! Why DEAN Titanium? Because John Siegrist at Dean has been building TI frames since 1990. He was one of the first, along w/ Merlin and Lightspeed,
both of which are now owned by the same giant corporation. Dean is still a small shop, and John still builds the frames. THAT is My kind of company!
Plus, you just won't find a better material ANYWHERE! Come in and pick our brains for more info, and and see what we can do for you!
We build fully geared ROAD, TOURING, and CITY bikes, as well as sexy FIXED GEAR & Single Speeds.
check out our GALLERY and our FACEBOOK Page We carry:
We occasionally have a few SALSA frames, and a few IRO track frames left (they no longer sell to dealers).
We also have some vintage frames - a couple of New Old Stock GUERCIOTTIS, a NOS COPPI frame, and a used FAGGIN in stock at present.
PLUS there are a number of other NOS vintage italian road frames we can get, as well as BARE KNUCKLE track frames for anyone interested.
Anything stocked by Euro Asia Imports is available, including GILLES BERTHOUD framesets,
as well as racks, bags, fenders, and saddles. and then there are our own
jett grrl fixie frames.
PLUS custom frames of any spec, any color, lugged or not, all grades of tubing, from the Italian Artisan frame builders at
Torelli Bicycles!
! We also build complete bikes from any frame you'd like to bring us!
We've built complete bikes around RIVENDELL frames, BOULDER BICYCLES, and loads of Vintage frames. The advantage to having us build the bike on a
frame we cannot
get for you is that we guarantee EVERYTHING we do! And if you live here and have a problem with a bike you got from New York, it's VERY hard to return it to them to fix!
We only to sell mid-high end bikes for a reason; better quality parts last longer! Our general advice is to figure out how much you
think you can afford... then try to go 50% higher. In this era of disposability, cheap stuff breaks fast, higher end parts will last
longer and perform better. A bike is an investment, and if it is everyday transportation, compare it to the cost of a monthly bus pass
- or gas :O) The more you can save up, the sweeter your ride... If you have any ideas just talk to us. Or trust
in our good taste and let us surprise you!
Even if you don't need us to build you a new bike, perhaps you are looking for a set of HAND BUILT WHEELS? We build THE best wheels you will find,
that won't need re-tensioning of any sort, maybe forever :O) We will build whatever you need - race wheels, touring wheels, cyclocross wheels,
mountain bike wheels, and track wheels. We can spice it up w/ some VELOCITY colored
rims, or go classic w/ MAVIC open pros, or super deep H PLUS SON. We also use DT SWISS, SALSA, or any other rims you might fancy. As for hubs,
you can go crazy w/ CHRIS KING, tone it down a notch w/HOPE, or keep it simple w/ CAMPY or SHIMANO.
You might be looking for DYNAMO Lighting for your RANDONNEUR, we carry all the SCHMIDT hubs and lighting systems, and whatever
PETER WHITE CYCLES carries.
We also build track wheels w/ our favorite WHITE INDUSTRY hubs, or MICHE, or PHIL WOOD, or PAUL, or a classic DURA-ACE. The sky is the limit, really. Whatever your heart desires,
we can make it happen. And if you want to know why a handmade wheel is better than a factory one? Because we guarantee our wheels for the life of the parts!
Meaning as long as your hub and rim are still good, your wheel should stay true forever (unless you crash!), and you will never break a spoke.
