We are a worker owned and collectively run bicycle repair shop in lovely South East Portland, Oregon. Come to us for full bike repair services, wheel building, and internal gear servicing.

This freshly powder coated, Peugeot Orient Express is an elegant commuter, which we've affectionately designated, as a "Monster Porteur".  These frames were originally marketed as mountain bikes, but we have re-purposed it with swept back handlebars, Schwalbe "Fat Frank" 2.35" Balloon tyres , Soma Porteur front rack, Brooks saddle, and fenders.  Refurbished components include, a more modern eight speed drive train, linear pull brakes, and our hand-built wheels.  The long wheel base and steel frame ensure a luxuriously supple ride as well as ease of handling even under heavy load.  The seat tube is 56cm and the top tube is 59 making it sort of a men's medium or women's tall with a comfortable upright seating position.
