OC’s fixed gear enthusiasts need to check out the first Livery Design Gruppe store in downtown Huntington Beach. It serves the art/culture of fixed gear riding and is the only OC based fixed gear specialty shop that manufactures and distributes its own product. Livery custom builds fixed gear bikes—choose frame style, construction method, and sizing. The selection ranges from hand lugged Reynolds tubed vintage racer, Aluminum Aero Frame, Pursuits, and more—all fixed, all the time. And Livery supports local artists who can design custom artwork on your frame. Livery can also service all bikes in its garage with its incredible Park Tools. Next month new steel track frames arrive and will be available in 1” and 1-1/8” head tubes.
Open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. 220 Walnut Avenue in Huntington Beach. 714.374.0900.
