Check out the 2011 bikes from Jamis- now in stock

Beatnik - $400

Great fixie with a steel frame, because these bikes are built for the harsh reality of the streets, where there’s no room for lightweight alloys and carbon—those are fine materials for racing bikes and boutique fixies, but they can’t hold up to the knockabout world of bike racks, potholes and sewer grates. As they say, steel is real.

Coda - $550

The Coda series of flat-handlebar road bikes has won Jamis legions of fans over the years, and for good reason—they’re quick, they’re nimble, and they’re soooo easy to ride. They’re basically road racing bikes without the racing emphasis—flat handlebars and intuitively easy-to-use controls mean near-zero intimidation, but you still get the benefit of elevated performance and incredible efficiency.

The Codas are designed to perform, with a frame welded from fabled Reynolds 520 double-butted chromoly steel. You get steel’s legendary supple, pavement-smoothing ride, accompanied by the zing of fantastic pedal response.

Bosanova - $1150

The perfect bike when Road bikes are too light duty. Mountain and city bikes are too heavy duty. Welcome to the Just Right world of the Bosanova.

Legendary Reynolds steel is the chassis material of choice, for its unbeatably robust performance and the resilient ride-damping you’ll appreciate while loaded up and bombing around on the streets. This is magic stuff, especially for full pannier touring and rough-road adventures.
This year’s rides are simply better and lighter—Bosanova receives its own street-smart geo, with cyclocross-inspired short-length chainstays, a wheelbase mated to the upright-with-drop bars and disc brakes. The perfect commuter bike for Portland Now in stock.

Nuovo Veloce!

    My name is Brent Engstrom and I am the proud new owner of Veloce Bicycles. I grew up in the Portland area and there is no other place that compares to what Portland can offer for this lifestyle. I have many years of experience managing a bike shop in Beaverton and have always dreamed of owning my own store. So when this opportunity presented itself I jumped at it.  I am passionate about all aspects of cycling whether it is road riding or mountain biking.

    In 2003 Demetri Macrigeanis opened Veloce with the vision of an “old world Italian” neighborhood bicycle shop that focused on superior products and a high level of customer service.  In October 2010 the torch was passed on to me and I am honored to take on this legacy.  I share in his vision in providing excellent customer service with an atmosphere that is friendly and inviting.

    I am also very honored that Skip Worthington chose to come with me.  Skip has over 25 years of experience as a mechanic in the Portland area.   I believe that with our combined knowledge and experience we are able to offer a level of service that is unsurpassed. Whether you are looking for complete custom bike build or just a quick adjustment we offer a full range of products and services.  Come by and see us for all of you cycling needs.

To our Customers and Veloce Family, We thank you.

             As Veloce enters its ninth season, I would like to thank all our loyal customers for your great support over the last eight years.  Veloce has grown into the bike shop I had always hoped it would be and has been the high point of my career.  All of you have been a big part of that.  The store has been built on the foundation of great customer service, deep knowledge of and belief in the power of cycling, and a commitment to the community around us.

             As of October 20, 2010, Brent Engstrom will take over as Owner of Veloce and I will be moving on to a new venture.  After a break to spend time on my bike and lay on the beach in Costa Rica (ordered by Denise, my intelligent Wife), I will be beginning the next chapter of my bicycle career.  Starting January 2011, I will be opening a professional fitting studio focusing on my passion of working with people one on one and getting them on a bike that properly fits them.

             When I met Brent, I knew that he was the right person to take the Veloce legacy forward.  I am very pleased to leave Veloce in his capable hands.  He is a highly knowledgeable professional in our field and will continue the quality service that Veloce has been built on. 

             Thanks again for your loyalty and friendship through out the years.  I have promised to stop by the shop from time to time and look forward to seeing you in the future around town.

 Demetri and Denise
