3) Our friend Cindy of Wild Trails Sauna will be set up for Oak Barrel Sauna sessions. Keep in mind that the Sauna would have to happen before a tattoo.

Ye Olde Freeze & Thaw Cycle Shoppe of State College, Penna. is proud to display this stunning Grove Team Assault in our ever-growing "Innovations Archive".

BIG THANKS to our friend Jackie for loaning us her original race bike featuring one of the best paint jobs we've ever seen.

Our friend Tommy painted for Grove and told us that this was a Team-only paint scheme and that very few were made.

The crackle effect in the paint was achieved with a chemical applied over the clearcoat, creating a totally unique pattern each time. That product is no longer available, making this frame even more rare.

from Tommy:
"The company’s name was Vreeble. Basically it would shrink itself which would show the underlying paint color. Sprayed on top of a wet coat of clear which allowed it to shrink to the best result."

We've actually only seen one other Grove team bike like this in all of our years of collecting - this example is a real survivor for sure!

Ye Olde Freeze + Thaw Cycle Shoppe of State College, Penna. is excited to announce the arrival of these finely crafted Custom FTC Moose Mitts, Solar-Sewn by our good pals at Nittany Mountain Works.

The mitts are constructed of lightweight X-PAC material and feature custom sub dye printing of the FTC Keystone grid, along with some reflective material for safety.

The inside is fleece lined and very comfy without gloves, even in very cold temps! A thoughtful velcro closure keeps snow out when while off the bike. I tested mine out last night in Musser Gap with excellent results.

We have the 4 colorways pictured in stock and available for $85 per pair. Call or email to reserve a pair, or stop in the Shoppe to check them out.

BIG THANKS to Evan, Josh and their crew for the continued support and outstanding products!
