Stop by for a frame sizing and get on track to picking up the new Salsa Vaya for your future road adventures! And note that I use the term "road" quite loosely with this machine. We have sizes 54, 55, 56 (based on top tube length) available for purchase, with the 54 and 55 already assembled and on the floor!

The Vaya is Salsa's "do it all" road bike, available in 8 sizes (two smallest sizes spec'd with 26" wheels). Optimally designed to tame any road surface, it features the beautiful and functional Fargo drop outs and chainstay mounted disc brakes for easy rack and fender mounting. Clearance for 43c tires can be found amongst the Classico CroMoly butted tubeset. Available as a complete bike at $1500 or a frameset at $585.

The bike is a tremendous value and the parts spec is top notch thanks to our buddy Tim at Salsa. Check out the Amigos blog to hear more about his reasons for drivetrain selection - reasons with which we are inclined to enthusiastically agree.

If you are snowed in and geeking hard, the answer is yes. YES - we want to help you build the Vaya frameset into your perfect franken-beast of versatility or purpose built bicycle #7 in your fleet. On that note, please notice the downtube shifter bosses - your ticket to less cable housing and crisp reliability.

Contact Jordyn today to place your pre-order for the Salsa El Mariachi Ti frameset! With a $500 deposit you will receive the frame and your choice of color for the Salsa Lip-lock seat collar and a pair of Freeze Thaw Cycles custom socks! We will be receiving a single size run at the end of March; after those are pre-sold you'll have to wait until May for another chance! Handmade in the USA by Lynskey Performance of Tennessee, these frames follow the geometry and sizes of the current steel El Mariachi - only they are made of titanium, the perfect material for Central PA singletrack and beyond! MSRP: $1800. Get the full scoop from our good amigos at Salsa!

Combining 110mm of rear travel, 120mm of front travel, and 29 inch wheels makes for one smooth ride in the rocks.

We have two shop demos in 17.5" and 19.5". Stop by to check them out.






Like all Fisher full suspension designs, the Rumblefish uses the Active Braking Pivot (ABP).

This system places the pivot at the axle, preventing braking forces from affecting the rear suspension. This means excellent traction under braking in even the roughest conditions.

The demo bikes have an ultra smooth Shimano XT/XTR drivetrain, Avid Elixr brakes and Fox suspension.


Here is Bosco on the Rumblefish's maiden ride in Cooper's Gap, stopping for a drink at a natural spring.

Stay tuned for updates on new demo bikes and products that can be found at the shop.

Freeze Thaw is now located at 109 South Allen Street.

Our new shop will continue to offer top notch repair service and a wide selection of new and recycled bicycles, parts, and accessories.

One of the many nice features of our new space is the lack of stairs, which makes bringing your bike in for service much easier.





Our upstairs service department (complete with vintage O.W. Houts signage) is well-equipped and staffed to fix pretty much anything you can think of.

If you need any mechanical work done on your bike, just bring it back and have one of our mechanics take a look and write an estimate.

Bosco might be able to take a look and help out if we're busy.





We also have a downstairs service area used for bicycle repairs and assembly.

This is where the PSU Cycling Club maintenance clinics happen on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm.

Check out a club meeting for details.








We made these sweet adjustable angle display racks to show off some of the new frames we have from Niner, Salsa, Chumba, Surly, Gary Fisher, and Bianchi.

Our expansive demo fleet features complete bikes from these companies. Ask for details.









Here's my new wheel building area... home to some of the finest wheel-related tools available.

From this spot I can calculate spoke lengths and cut custom spokes in addition to lacing, truing, dishing, stressing and tension checking all of my handbuilt wheels.

I've built 36 wheels in the new shop so far.





One last parting shot of the new shop...our new partner Chuck standing at the checkout area which is well stocked with lights, locks, lube and all kinds of goodies to keep you happy on two wheels.

Stop in to check out the new space and see the progress. We still have plenty of work to do, but things are moving along nicely.

Thanks again to everyone who helped with our move...we couldn't have done it without you!
