Defiance Bicycles Tacoma

Check out the NEW 2013 Torker Graduate, now available at Defiance Bicycles. Featuring a simple, wide range SRAM X5 1×9 drivetrain, Tektro disc brakes and sturdy deep-V rims, this is a perfect commuter bike for the Pacific Northwest. At $629 you won’t find a better deal, plus at Defiance we offer 10% off parts and accessories when you buy a new bike! We have a full size run of these great bikes in stock (including the 44cm Mixte version!), so come on down to the shop and we’ll help you find the perfect fit.

We found a source for some really cool classic pro-team caps and they just arrived today. Mapei, Merckx, Bic, Clement, Z Team, Cafe de Coloumbia, Legnano/Pirelli, PDM, Lotto, Panasonic, Fiat and of course Molteni. $16 each, and we probably won’t have time to reorder before (insert holiday here) so don’t delay!

We just got a bunch more Brooks saddles in stock, come in and check out our great selection!

We just got our copies of the latest Bicycle Quarterly. In a bit of a departure from the expected BQ subject matter, this issue has (among other things) reviews of 2 modern titanium bikes, an overview of the three major integrated brake/shift levers (SRAM Doubletap, Campagnolo ErgoPower, Shimano STI) and a side by side comparison of Shimano and Campagnolo ELECTRONIC SHIFTING SYSTEMS (Spoiler: electronic shifting is underwhelming).

We also have back issues in stock all the way back to Fall 2011!
