Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it's easy for you to help SDBC receive donations from Amazon to SDBC. Just use the "Amazon Smile” charitable process in your account. Amazon Smile funnels a small percentage of their eligible purchase revenue to SDBC if you activate Amazon Smile in your account and choose “San Diego Bicycle Club” as the beneficiary nonprofit.

Instead of logging in through "amazon.com" you log-in through “smile.amazon.com.” Very easy to use. It is EXACTLY the same shopping experience. Nothing changes except SDBC receives contributions from Amazon.

I purchased and it's too small for me! Size is Medium. New and tags are still attached.

I purchased this bike in 1999 and have and have had many happy cycling adventures with it. It's 60cm and I'm 6'1". Mostly Dura-Ace equipped and also has upgraded wheels--Ksyrium SSC SL wheelset. Plenty of mileage left for road service or convert to a single speed for winter covid training.

To these specs:

The bicycle is currently ridable and needs nothing.

Perfect do everything bike. I’ve done fondos, races, and some light gravel on it. Has clearance for 35mm front and 32mm rear tires. Did BWR San Diego on it in 2019 and it was perfect. I'm the second owner after the original owner bought it, rode it three times, and determined it was too big.

Full carbon frame, aluminum cockpit, carbon gravel tubeless wheels with Spinergy fiber spokes - super comfortable and stable.

Details:

Loved this bike, just don’t ride it anymore. Always get compliments on the bike when I ride it. Has been ridden only a handful of times in the past year.

$1,700.00 for SDBC members and friends!

SDBC's 75th Year Anniversary kits are here! If you have yours, please shoot a picture and post it to IG with #SDBC so that we can all see you in it!

Just a reminder to contact me directly if you have any questions, concerns or comments relating to the kit. Please DO NOT contact Pactimo or UCC. Both have received several calls, in person appearances (UCC) and emails (Pactimo). Pactimo's staff is not big enough to handle inquiries from all of their teams and customers, and UCC is not involved in our kit whatsoever. My contact is clothing@sdbc.org, or 925-858-0086.

The latest store timeframe is listed above. Please note that Pactimo's factory in China will be closed around the Chinese New Year celebration, so the upcoming delivery interval is a bit longer. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Vali Holroyd

The State of California has lifted its stay-at-home order. The County of San Diego is still in the "Purple Zone" and the health order dated 1/25/21 reflects that. Gatherings are still prohibited. Vaccines are being administered and trends are looking better, but it will take some time before the pandemic is over. To stay safe and remain in compliance, the SDBC Saturday Rides continue to be suspended. We encourage you to ride solo or with a friend (or two) for your physical and mental health while keeping in mind the County's guidelines.

Please do not gather in large groups at UC Cyclery on Saturday mornings. If you choose to ride with a friend or two from there, please leave the parking area quickly and do not form or join large groups. Let's all stay healthy and safe while we ride this out. Be patient as there are better times ahead!
