Every once in a while I get to build up a customers bike that really impresses me. This Co-Motion is one! It starts as a Nor’Wester Tour frameset with canti-brakes, but uses the Ultegra 10 Speed Triple Road Group from the Nor’Wester (More road oriented with CF fork, and road group). I love the Lusty Red paint and Vanilla Shake panels. Paint scheme is identical to my own Co-Motion Americano touring/commuting bike. Plug in a set of touring wheels, racks and fenders and this bike is ready for cross country touring.
I love straight blade steel forks, and this one is a work of art.
Just seeing this new bike after building it is inspiration to dust off my Americano and ride again.

One of our goals at this years InterBike Show this past week was to secure a dealership agreement with Civia Cycles. We have succeeded and are very happy to join up with such a wonderful company. They are truly dedicated to great design, engineering, product quality and accessories to meet the demands of the growing numbers of bicycle commuters.
“Typically, Civia owners are cyclists that already have a good road or mountain bike and understand the characteristics that make for a good ride. If a Civia is their first bike, they know from other purchases that the best deal doesn’t always have the lowest price; spending a little more where it counts can be well worth it. Our strength is in subtlety and detail that may not be apparent until examined up close. A Civia’s ride quality speaks for itself and is undeniably our best sales person.”

My initial impressions:
OK my new Pashley Guv’nor may belong to the shop, but it’s MINE, MINE,
MINE!… Someone I believe it was Alan Barnard told me I shouldn’t weigh
it. Well I did and to my surprise it only weighs 30.5 lbs and this is a
22.5″ frame size. I have just enough crotch clearance so a 24.5″ frame
would be out of the question. My actual inseam is 35.5″. The effective top
tube length is about 58cm which is just about right for my reach. The 125mm
Cinelli stem is just a bit too long. I have a long quill 110mm Nitto
replacement on the way which will also let me raise the bar where I want it.
Just a little riding around near the bike shop on the milder hills convinced
me that I may just leave the gearing alone, or maybe go to a slightly
smaller chain ring. The ride is so sweet. Lastly this ain’t no beach
cruiser as it can get up and go!
To get your own, give me a call or email, or just drop in and see me.
