Post All (of the) Citys!!

All City terminated by 2024 :(
I always wanted a Junkyard Dog...

Got a link @platypus?

Thanks. That's crappy news, although I can't help but feel A/C peaked a few years ago now, and the more recent designs have been fairly middle-of-the-road compared to bikes like the Gorilla Monsoon, Log Lady/Electric Queen, and JYD.

NO! Huge news. What a damn shame, they used the be the bike I WANTED when I first started out into cycling, cool branding, cool single speeds and cross bikes.

That’s sad to finally read, it’s been a long time coming. There was talk of it 5 years ago when I was still in the shop. I always thought it odd the QBP had 3 brands doing the same thing, just slightly differently from each other. A niche within a niche in an already niche market. Hopefully the talent and ideas will be deployed between their other brands.

All City bikes can be designed by AI if you feed it Prolly and a Taiwanese Framebuilder and QBP pricing.

Bummer! I've loved both the All Citys I've had. I've still got my ZigZag and can't see myself replacing it any time soon.

How long before someone at QBP decides that prolly’s built enough retro mtbs and launches a rim brake 26’er you reckon?

Rather lovely small Electric Queen frameset on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295878213898

Quickly buy all the stock?!

Just found 4x shiny silver All-City down-tube decals, if anyone is respraying their frame and needs a set, you can have them.

I keep seeing someone on a really nice silver All City with risers and a front rack (maybe a Cosmic Stallion?) Punting up Crystal Palace Park Road when I'm walking my dog in the morning. Anyone on here? Looks very forum-y.

My Surly Steamroller is now 1/2 All-City. Here's the poor ol' Mr Pink before it was pilfered for parts: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPEjHO4BP48/

Lausanne, a city where you NEED large gears.
Nice biek!

I like that a lot!

This is a long shot, but does anybody know the diameter of an all city integrated seat clamp bolt, I guess it an early one as it’s not a super fancy clamp, the bolt isn’t recessed into the clamp.

I overtightened mine and snapped it last month. After buying a few different lengths I believe it was a 19mm bolt that fit in the end.

My frame is the original pale blue Space Horse from ten years ago.

Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.

Managed to swap the running shoes for riding shoes for the first time in a few months..

Enjoyable ride and a sense that spring isn't too far away... finally.

Bought this frame only ten years ago this month I think.

I'm vaguely thinking about moving my Zig Zag on and going for something that's a bit more of an all rounder and less roady. Would anyone be interested in a 52cm (fits more like a 54) frameset in pretty decent shape?

All-City is dead, Long live All-City!
I've just got around to building this back up after getting the chainstay replaced. I sprayed the rack to kinda match the paintwork. Gonna get the handlebars chopped down a little, they're just a tad obscene.
