Congratulations to Vicki of team Freeze Thaw for her victory at Sunday's Stoopid 50 mountain bike race in Rothrock.

Our other plaid-clad riders represented on their home trails, while showing visitors what Central PA has to offer.


Thanks to everyone who came out to race and volunteer, hope to see you at the Wilderness 101!

Mountain bike racing season is upon us and the newly formed Freeze Thaw team has already flown their plaid kits proudly with some impressive results.
Congratulations to Matt Ferrari for his 3rd place podium spot in the Singlespeed class at the Mohican 100 miler in Ohio - he is now the current series leader. Matt represented State College quite well aboard his Independent Fabrication Ti 29er.


Other members of team Freeze Thaw have been tearing it up at the local races...


Jessie took the women's field at Greenbriar aboard her Niner E.M.D. 1 x 9.

Freeze Thaw wrench Chris Ruhl smoked the competition in the Greenbriar Singlespeed class aboard his nearly stock Redline Monocog 29. Afterwords he said "that was the hardest I've ever worked for $60."

Rachel makes the hand-off to Tim at the U.S. Open Endurance race in Marysville. Vicki and Clay were the other half of the team.

Keep an eye out for our plaid-clad racers at other events around the East Coast this season.

Bosco and Salsa say:

Stop by Freeze Thaw to check out this summer's collection of all things bicycle...

We've added some new mountain bikes to our demo fleet and have plenty of cool new bikes in stock ready for test riding.

Our selection of Endura clothing and Chrome bags is bigger than ever...stop in to see what we have!

Hey there Freeze Thaw followers- sorry for the lack of updates in the last few months, its been a whirlwind of craziness at the old shop.

Lots of new things going on: We are now a dealer of Gary Fisher bicycles and will be stocking select mountain, hybrid and children's models. Bontrager components, clothing and shoes are also in stock.

We are also proud to become Central PA's Independent Fabrication dealer. Stop in the shop to check out what we have in stock and ask questions.

The warm weather has increased our turnaround time on repair work, so making an appointment ahead of time for your next tune-up is a good idea. Just bring your bike in for an estimate and we can schedule a time slot for you. Thanks for your patience.

The above photo was taken on a recent trip to Fruita, Colorado courtesy of our friends at Salsa Cycles. The El Mariachi and Big Mama work just as well out West as they do on the East coast.

Keep an eye out for more updates in the upcoming weeks...I promise not to wait another three months!

Our Salsa full squish demo bikes are built and ready to hit the trails (when they thaw out).

Stop in to check out two of Salsa's newest creations featuring Scandium frames with efficient and plush rear suspension designs.

Jeremy and Bosco are pictured here with the Big Mama, a four inch travel 29" trail machine.

If you think big wheeled hardtails are smooth, you will be blown away by this bike.


The El Kaboing (left) is the smaller wheeled, longer travel version. It has five inches of travel and 26" wheels.

Both Salsa demo bikes are outfitted with Fulcrum wheels, SRAM shifting, Avid brakes and Rock Shox forks.

I recently rode this bike in the very rocky Michaux State Forrest with good results. It should handle our trails well.


If you are wondering how the two wheel sizes and suspension travels compare, this is your chance to find out. We are anxious to get customer feedback on these new Salsa models as they meet the trails of Rothrock.

Our floor is stocked with several complete Salsa bikes and framesets including mountain, cyclocross, and road/touring. Special orders and custom builds are no problem...stop in for details.
