Here is welcoming news for those who were unable to catch the premiere of the Banksy “Exit Through The Gift Shop” film with the release on DVD set for next week. Featuring deleted scenes, two new short films and comes packaged with exclusive 2D glasses, stickers and artwork this makes for a compelling release.Featuring exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many more of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, Exit Through The Gift Shop is the hilarious true story of low-level criminality, companionship and incompetence. The story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.

Yes, you might forget it with all the excitement on the bike side of the shop, but there is still a sale on all clothing that’s in store now, for 1 more week.
Hats and tees $25, hoodies, long sleeves and button ups $50, jeans and shorts half price!
Yes, they are in again, Colossi delivered us some custom made framesets. Same as the first few, made of 4130 double butted CroMo, one classic lugged model, slightly inspired by the beautiful Gios bikes. And the other model is TIG welded, 1 1/8″ steerer tube and raw with a few layers of clear coat.
We also received a nice selection of the Colossi components line C-Unit and HplusSon rims and wheel sets. Everything top quality for fair prices. Quite a bit of this already sold in the first few days it’s in the shop. All will soon be in the online catalogue.
What is the difference between a living thing and a non-living thing? A heart and a soul, that’s what some people tend to forget, and what we are based on. We at Colossi simply believe in making beautiful and efficient things. Colossi is run by Jan Kole, a man who has been addicted to bicycles ever since he was 26 years old. He has been making frames since 1982, and brings the tradition of the old school in making framesets to the table. At Colossi we apply the old ways to new ideas. We have 2 departments at Colossi: the handmade workshop, and the production. On top of that we have a line of components to finish off your machine; we like to call it C-unit. From the Colossi catalogue.
The shop has been filled this week and not just with new parts and frames from Colossi. We were lucky enough to restock our vintage department. I will have one or two vintage builds up by next week and there are a few framesets hanging instore with some parts available aswell. Next week expect a complete Australian steel ‘Le Cycle’ build! Framesets available for now..
