Welcome!

Welcome to Cog Cycles Chicago!

We are a small business that specializes in tuning up and rebuilding steel frame road bikes. Brian is the brains and brawn behind the operation with over 10 years experience restoring vintage road bikes. Liz oversees everything else in order to keep this ship afloat while she's not teaching tiny children. Our goal is to grow this business into a brick & mortar storefront with active community engagement.

Join us on our journey transforming our bike shop dream into reality. In the meantime, check out some of Brian's work:

New Photos of Natalia the Nishiki Century

Yep, Natalia is still here. We recently found a new wall to photograph against and it really brings out the best in Natalia's natural beauty. Hopefully these photos will pique someone's interest to take this lovely bike home.  Email us at friends@cogcycleschicago.com to come check out this bike. We can always arrange custom builds if this one isn't the right fit.
