13 January 2011

While most of the folks who come to KGS Bikes want a custom bicycle designed for them alone, some folks, particularly bike racers, can ride stock geometry bicycles well.

This is another sneak preview to a new photo gallery that is in production. It soon will be shown on Flickr and the KGS Bikes Website.

Custom bicycle frames vs Semi-Custom. What is best for you?

7 January 2011

KGS Bikes is in the custom bicycle business, yet we offer Parlee semi-custom models as well. We are asked many times, “What is the difference?” and it is really quite simple. The difference revolves around the way frames are chosen, and the confidence one will have of the correct position if a semi-custom frame is [...]

Your dream bike – What would it be?

7 December 2010

If you could have anything designed for your new dream bike, what would you choose? I just got an email inquiry from Brazil today and wanted to share the concept of how I help people that live halfway across the world. The first part of our conversation revolved around fitting, of course. I prefer to [...]

Do you train in the rain or the dark?

6 December 2010

Now that fall is upon us I hear many people discussing their training options and the range is quite large! Some say they will ride outside even if it is dark or rainy. I call this the Belgian approach, because the weather over there is so wet and cold. Many others switch to spin bikes [...]

KGS Bikes – My gears are bigger than yours!

2 December 2010

I have seen stayer’s bikes with pretty big gears but this beats all. It must have been brutal to get started. I can’t think of any other reason to have a gear like this other than to do stayers racing. I believe a little stayers background is in order as you may not have seen [...]

Regarding bicycles, men are from Mars, women are from Venus

30 November 2010

I had a lovely woman come into the studio yesterday and we discussed gears on bicycles and how they worked. Apparently she didn’t know how to use them and nobody helped her learn.

Who decides what bike you want, or Would Cesaer have wanted a Cervelo?

28 November 2010

Cesaer probably wouldn’t want a Cervelo, since he couldn’t have known about them. The job of marketing companies is to make you aware of their products. I am amazed at some big bicycle companies marketing brilliance. They are able to make bicycles “win” races without athletes and make you want a particular brand so badly [...]
