It's all about You
That is to say, TO Cycles is all about getting you on a better bike, but within your budget.
Maybe you are participating in a charity ride this year and need something more lightweight and streamlined than your city hybrid for training and the ride. There is nothing fun about slogging through 100km on a heavy bike, with fat tires (= high friction = drag = slow speed = late finish = no fun).
.
Or, maybe you are not really a crazed cyclist. Maybe you are getting into triathlons and so have to adding cycling to kit. And a nice recent model aluminum or carbon bike would do the trick.
Or, maybe you are a runner whose knees are starting to ache and cycling would allow you to train with less strain.
Maybe your friends are already cycling and you would to join them on recreational fitness riding. But you know your old Supercycle just isn't going to cut it.
Maybe you've heard that "Steel is Real" and want to know what all the retro-fuss is all about. ("Steel is Real" is a throwback to the "golden days" of cycling - up until the 90s -- when the world champions like Eddy Merckx rode classic lightweight steel framed bikes. Even Lance Armstrong started his pro career on a steel framed bike. The advantages of steel is that they are more comfortable to ride and more durable.) We can help you add a classic steel frame to your fleet.
What you all have in common is this:

What you all have in common is this:
- You are looking for a really good bike,
- But you aren't ready to spend $3,000 or $4,000 or more on this year's model.
- You don't need the absolute latest and greatest (3-year old 9-speed Ultegra would work just fine as opposed to the latest-and-greatest 11-speed electronic Dura Ace shifting.)
- But you do want quality, something with some cachet, some style Something that is going to turn heads when you show up at the start. Something that will make your riding partners nod admiringly and say "Nice bike!"
