Progress on the 1961 Schwinn originally owned and modded by @thr_sh_r . Still mocking things up and may have to swap this or that but I’m pretty damn happy with it so far. Excited to get wheels built this week and get the bar and stem dialed in. Still need a bar I’m happy with too. If anyone is holding something that would fit this build, holler. I’m thinking a VDC style swept back with crossbar, does not need to be OG.
Enjoy…

Another fun one out the door of Thy Chvrch!
Michael brought this @statebicycleco rig by with brakes that had zero stopping power, so we opted to swap em out for some @paulcomponent Klampers. I also swapped the rear derailleur for something that was SRAM compatible with the State brifters as a shop before me had a Shimano mech which does not work. Maybe they had it laying around and had to sell it regardless. (You won’t get forced sales here.)
Stoked to get this rig dialed in a bit more so it can roam the streets of Spain soon.
Thanks for supporting!
Got to finish a job no other shop wanted too/could do, on this killer @lowbicycles made right here in the bay.
I originally built this up a few years back when Adrian first got it and we had it set up with drop bars. Now we’ve swapped those for a flat bar as well as a @wilde.bikes fork to handle the front rack. I then wired up his dyna hub through the frame a fork for pedal powered front n’ rear lights as he does diaper runs for his new baby boy! (Congrats , again) Pretty happy with the results myself, but I heard Adrian was even more happy with the it and that’s what really matters.
You got anything the other shops can’t/won’t do? Holler. I don’t do evvvverything, but I do a lot. Let’s chat and we’ll see if I can help out.
Thanks again for svpportin, yall. Truly wouldn’t be possible without ya.
Hope you’re having a good weekend…

Wheel rebvild for Danny. Stock spoke wasn’t good enough so I cut some @dtswiss pieces on the @philwoodandco machine and rebuilt this rear @theshadowconspiracy free coaster wheel better than new. A quick refresh of the @enduro_bearings installed previously and he’s back on the streets.
Thanks for svpportin D.
Who’s next?

Stoked to give this sweeeet @retrotecbikes some well deserved love owned by no other than the raddest & baddest @vhaus . Before I go any further check her rad organization @shesendsfoundation all about getting more young women on bikes!
Now, this rig has been nothing but reliable due to its simple set up but even the most basic machines need love at some point. Hub and freewheel bearings got replaced thanks to @enduro_bearings and @whiteind , new cables and housing were swapped out, chain cleaned/lubed and then the seat was swapped to this cvvvte @wildernesstrailbikes that was made to benefit @norcalleague a few years back. Did I mention @norcalleague was also Vanessa’s doing for years? I told ya she was rad.
The bike is now feeling so much better and ready to ride again through the streets of Petaluma.
Thanks for always svpport’n Thy Chvrch, V!¡!

Handbuilt wheels, FTW.
Had the pleasure of lacing up a couple killer sets of wheels in the last couple days…
First set consisted of hubs by @profile_racing , rims by @alienationbmx and @dtswiss spokes and nipples. Those killer hubs got @profile_racing hub guards on em as well to make sure the stay fresh during grinds. Rims are tubeless ready in case the owner wants em set up that way. Absolutely loving the polished/chromed/stainless look of these! Do not stare directly at them when they’re rolling by as you will get your eyes burned by the sun and their reflection, you have been warned.
Second set consisted of hubs by @envecomposites , rims by @velocityusa and spokes/nips by @usaspokes . Also another great looking wheel with the raw titanium spokes on black rims/hubs. Super minimal spoke count and extra light weight parts made these wheels some of the lightest aluminum rim wheels I’ve built to date. Should look killer on the titanium frame they are destined for!
I am ALWAYS down to lace up your next set of wheels. Give me a holler and let’s talk about your needs/wants. After all, cvstom sh¡t is my favorite sh¡t.
Thanks for the support y’all, see you soon.
I have always been a fan of these Bianchi singlespeeds, I’ve even owned two of them myself. Designed by Sky Yeager, these are the last “fun bikes” produced by a mainstream company, IMO. Sure they’re have been Surlys and others but when’s the last time you saw a major brand that’s been around as long as Bianchi has make such a niche product.
This MUSS (Mountain Unicorn Single Speed) came in well ridden and needing a few things. I did what was necessary and got it back to feeling like it should. Now it’s ready to torture, yet provide smiles for miles whether you’re sitting, standing or pushing. Because a SS has three speeds, not just one.
I owned the DISS, Disc Integrated Single Speed and the BASS, Bad Ass Single Speed. Always wanted a PUSS, Pretty Ugly Single Speed.
What about you?
Thanks for supporting John! Check out his band on all streaming platforms, Lakeville.
Spring break broke and I will be out of the shop starting Sunday the fifth, returning on Thursday the ninth. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Appreciate all your support, see you then.
RAD refurb on this early 2000s Haro 24”. New wheels,tires,bars, grips,chain, seat and seatpost and she’s lookin gooood.
Big thanks to @else_oner for the trvst and svpport on this one. Enjoy it dvde!
Who’s next???
Hey y'all, Just wanted to drop a quick note and let ya all know where I stand with the current shop location/relocation since I've been getting a ton of questions.
NO, the shop is not closing.
YES, I am doing everything I can to assure I get a even better new spot than the one I've been in for the past 9 years. (If you can't believe it, believe it.)
That said, I will be in my current shop til the end of '26 thanks to a nice chat with the mayor of Petaluma. At that point, I will be moving into another space on the same property as where I am now, so as long as an agreement can be made on lease terms. (Please send the positive vibes and good energy.)
No address change other than a suite number so you'll still find me at 409 Petaluma Blvd S. And 2/16/27 will mark 10 years is business, so you know we'll be throwin a party to break in the new shop and y'all are invited.
Thank you all for the continued support, kind words and encouragement to keep going. Truly would not be here without you.
Best,
Tim,Thy Highest Priest/Chvrch.

Y’all remember those siiiick wheels I posted the other day? Welp, here they are on Alex’s @rivbike . His rig was already a looker, but now it’s drop dead b-e-a-uitful. Seeing this thing roll past in the sunshine will definitely require some serious shades. She blings!
If yer lucky, you may even see it on the ride tonight.
Thanks again for supporting @_alex_friend_
Appreciate you.
