  It's hard to believe we're already heading into winter here in Colorado. Seems like we were just getting ready for spring riding, and now we're building Surly Ice Cream Trucks and getting excited about fat bike season! We've always loved the Surly Ice Cream Truck. It's one of those bikes that reminds you why riding is supposed to be fun. Big tires, snow, dirt, and just about anything else you want to roll over. We're building them up now, so if you've been thinking about getting into fat biking, stop by and check them out. X-Lab Bikes Are Flying Out the Door! One of the biggest surprises this year has been just how popular our X-Lab bicycles have become. These bikes are amazing, and frankly, they're getting harder and harder to keep in stock. The quality, components, and value are tough to beat, and customers are catching on. And here's something we're especially excited about: We have the hard-to-find X-Lab GT8 gravel bikes in small, medium,...

What a Great Year at 303 Bike Shop — And We’re Not Done Yet What a year it’s been here at 303 Bike Shop . First off, we want to say thank you to everyone who came through the shop this year.

  X-LAB Bikes Have Arrived at 303 Bike Shop A New Bike Brand for Colorado Riders — and One We’re Pretty Excited About Every once in a while, a new bike line comes along that gets our attention. For us, X-LAB is one of those brands. We recently added X-LAB Bicycles to the lineup at 303 Bike Shop in Wheat Ridge , and our first bikes are starting to arrive. What caught our attention wasn't simply another new name in the bicycle business. It was what X-LAB is putting into these bikes for the money. At a time when nearly everything seems to be getting more expensive, X-LAB is taking a different approach: build a genuinely good bicycle, equip it properly, and keep the price within reach of regular riders. That's something we can get behind. So, Who Is X-LAB? X-LAB is the performance bicycle brand from XDS, a large, established bicycle manufacturer. The current U.S. lineup stretches from the $799 SP3 city/fitness bike through the RS5 and RS7 road platforms and up to the car...
