Susi from Velojoy joined us on our Spring Training Trip to Majorca this past week. Judging from the post she wrote up after the trip, she was extremely happy with her experience on the island. It’s an insightful take on the experience from an NYC resident. Click through to Velojoy to read the article . . .
As posted on Team Rockstar News …
We are thrilled to welcome the Gotham Girls Racing Team to Team Rockstar Games / Signature Cycles for 2012. This will be the first time that Team Rockstar Games / Signature Cycles has fielded a full women’s squad. We are happy to see our team grow in 2012, but we are particularly pleased to be able to support such a strong women’s racing team. As a CRCA sub-team, the team will be a constant presence at races in and around New York City, as well as traveling to larger regional events. We will be sharing their racing exploits right here so stay tuned throughout the season!
Read on for the press release by the Gotham Girls, and check out their website.
January 9, 2012 – Gotham Girls Racing, an amateur all-women cycling team, has joined forces with Signature Cycles and Rockstar Games to form a new women’s racing team in 2012. The team, racing as Rockstar Games/Signature Cycles, as a sub-team of the Century Road Club Association (CRCA), will compete in local club races as well as some of the premier races in the Northeast, including the Harlem Skyscraper Criterium, Tour of the Battenkill, Killington Stage Race, Tour de Millersburg and the Green Mountain Stage Race.
We enjoy the Holidays. We certainly enjoy them while we’re at our studios, but we also enjoy them when we’re home. So, we’re going to stay home a few days over the Holidays. Hope that doesn’t cause any problems for you!
Manhattan: Closed 12/24 and 12/31. Regular hours otherwise.
Greenwich: Closing early on Saturday, 12/17 at 3pm. Closed 12/24 and 12/31.
Cycling is a lifestyle. Passoni, like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Versace, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Luxottica, Bulgari, and Panerai, share their Italian tradition, design and passion in every product that they create. They all add style to our lives.

The reality is that we live in a fast paced city. We often get too caught up in the daily rush to slow down and just enjoy the ride. We choose the “ordinary” local rides, rarely exploring some of the great rides the NYC area can truly offer. In 2007, Rapha created the Continental program with one goal in mind: travel this incredible country and find roads seldom ridden, explore some of the little known wonders and some hidden gems in our own backyards.

If you find yourself constantly calling or stopping by the bike shop for every little mechanical issue, then this clinic is for you! Although your smiling face is always welcome, we’d rather see you riding your bike than rolling it through our doors for minor adjustments.
This clinic will address the most common reasons we see people for “emergency” fixes. In this 1 ½ hour session you will learn:
• Minor derailleur adjustments that will quiet that clicking and skipping
• Headset adjustments
• Proper quick release installation – often overlooked but extremely important
• How to change out your brake pads for carbon wheel sets
• The importance of torque specs and how to use a torque wrench
Sign up early as class space is limited!!!
Email lori@signaturecycles.com to reserve your spot or with any questions.
