The weather’s gradually getting nicer. Flowers are popping open everywhere. And lately it seems like the sun is making its appearance more regular. As such we’re itching to ride more regularly so each FNR is a much welcome opportunity to do so.
Even more exciting, the laoban’s back in town. Off of a fresh rotation back home to the States, Larry will be at the helm, steering the party through the streets. Show up and celebrate with us! Read more
We’ve got a wide selection of frames available that are well-suited for either single speed or internally geared builds.
From now through the first week of March we’ll be offering 30% off of select in-stock frame sets. Frames suitable in size for anyone from 160cm to 180cm.
Looking to get your own bike and start exploring the city? There couldn’t be a cheaper time to do it! Now’s the time to get that new build on a budget.
It’s best to take care of your bike regularly. If you ride often, the more consistently you check over your bike and keep up with maintenance, the longer your equipment will last.
Here’s a few tips on things you can check often to keep your bike in prime condition:
1) Pump your tires up. It helps to check your tire pressure before each ride. Making sure you’re not losing air or that your tires are fully pumped will making riding easier and less problematic.
2) Check your brakes. Make sure they’re grabbing your wheels effectively enough to stop you.
3) Lube your chain. Keeping your chain well-oiled will help your ride feel much smoother and effortless.
4) Make sure all the nuts and bolts on your bike are good and tight. Things loosen up over time which can put you in dangerous situations so make sure nothing on your bike is coming loose. Read more
Slated for June the Cross China Race starts in Shanghai and wraps up in our beloved Chengdu. With 4 checkpoints stretched across the length of China (including one final awesome homegrown checkpoint) the race covers roughly 3500 kilometers and more than enough climbing to match.
This is bound to be one awesome race. Of course, with the race concluding in Chengdu we have the high honor of receiving racers across the finish line. If you’re interested in racing go to crosschinarace.cc to sign up for the newsletter to receive updates.
Registration should be announced in the next coming weeks and with limited slots it’s a good idea to keep up to date if you’re serious about joining! Read more
Another two weeks gone. Another two weeks closer to warmer weather. We don’t want spoil it but this Friday is looking like it’s going to be pretty pleasant out.
Expect the same old fun with some fresh faces, or just look forward to catching up with some old FNR friends you’ve missed over the winter. Same time, same place! Read more
Look at this bike. It’s yellow, like Spring flowers. The point? The weather’s getting warmer and there’s never a better time to get a bike than now.
Sure, you could do what everyone else does and wait until the weather is nice, but we’ll walk you through the benefits of getting a bike now and not later.
1. It’s easier to get a deal. Bike shops are not a bastion of activity in the winter. Most people fit into the category of fair-weather friends. This means that when the temperature drops, people stop taking interest in outdoor activities. With a long couple of quiet months behind us, we’re eager to please and get more people on bikes.
2. No one else is doing it. Sure, Summer’s a few months away and Spring is hardly here but you’re going to want to take full advantage of it. Waiting to get a bike until then means you’re going to be joining everyone else that had the exact idea because, ohmygod! it’s warm out! Warmer months are coming regardless so why not plan for it now? Read more
Join us this Saturday for a rip around town. After a long holiday I’m sure your legs are itching to get moving.
Meet up at Natooke at 7:00pm to set out. We’ll likely do about 20-30 kilometers depending on how turned around we get. Expect an intermediate pace (not FNR slow nor hardcore ride fast).
Valentine’s Day is coming and you may be worrying what to get your significant other. Well, here’s an idea!
Over the weekend and until February 15 we’ll be offering 50% off all red frames and forks.
Although most people dream of having a complete fleet of bicycles to choose from, most of us don’t have the luxury of space. We’re big fans of that one perfect bike, designed to be suitable for any application. Something that works as a commuter, a tourer, an explorer or your go to kilometre crunching machine.
With this in mind we designed our Rocky Road complete. Built around our versatile aluminum Rocky Road frame with steel forks, you can make one of two choices.
Pricing starts at ¥5400. Upgrade to Tiagra 4700 (2×10) for an additional ¥1000, 105 5800 (2×11) for an additional ¥2000, or Ultegra 6800 (2×11) for an additional ¥3000.
The Romper features the comfortable amenities of a mountain bike. It’s built with lightweight riser bars, a complete Shimano Deore 3×9 gear package and solid Avid BB7 disc brakes. Solid wheels feature a 700x32c semi-treaded tire for smoother rolling on rough roads.
Price starts at ¥5200. Upgrade to Deore XT 1×11, 2×11, or 3×11 for an additional ¥2500.
With either model you have the freedom to change a few select parts. Either choice is built around a frame with plenty of room for larger tires, fenders and a rear rack. We have sizes suitable for anyone 155 – 190cm tall.
Looking for a better price? Consider becoming a Natooke Gold Member for 20% off the total of your new bike!
As you may know we’ve been running some special discounts on a handful of items. These discounts will only last until Friday the 20th!
As the year of the monkey comes to a close, we’d also like to extend additional discounts!
From now until we close for the holiday (February 27) we’ll be offering 10% off both our standard and gold memberships. Read more
