Squid Has Landed!

Bikes are fun! They are, and you know it. Bikes rule because they're fun, and we like having fun. Which is why we're stoked to have partnered up with Squid and are now ready to sling their awesome, fun DIYFS bikes! The first one arrived the other day in a spraypainted box, ready to shred. Well, ready to paint. We get to ready it for the shreddy.


If you aren't familiar with Squid, they're a Sacramento company whose values really reflect ours. From their website:

"Riding bikes is about as dumb and futile an endeavor as many other hobbies, which is to say it's worthwhile and existentially gratifying in ways that are hard to explain. Bikes are simple machines that bring deep joy. They're a way to find clarity and peace, not to mention a great way to get around."

Yes to all that.

Squid makes this cross bike (the $quidcross), a hardtail ripper, a steel cross bike, and a BMX cruiser. They all ship stock as raw frames. The aluminum ones are welded by Ventana. When they arrive, you can paint them yourself, or we can do it for you for a fee. Squid's artists will also paint one if you ask nicely enough (pay). These bikes RIP and they're cool. Be the only one in the MFG with a PDJ-painted $quidcross!
