		<description><![CDATA[Many moons ago, when Renaissance Bicycles was not much more than a glimmer in our wishful eye, we were the fortunate recipient of an unusual vintage French Velosolex: Not long after listing the bike for sale, it was snapped up by a bike shop in California.  Normally, that is where the story ends. However, much [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One recurring theme in our frequent review of the cycling blogosphere is the amount of artwork created of, with, and about the bicycle. So about a year ago, we started a little online side project called The Bicycle is Art. Sadly, the project didn&#8217;t get much traction simply because it became too much of a [...]]]></description>

It also means that the peak of the annual cycling season has passed. Of course, this is a double edged sword for Renaissance Bicycles; we will have more time for afternoon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When thinking in terms of long-term business aspirations, we took it to the logical conclusion: Who will be our customer 50+ years from now? Initially, we assumed that the retired racer-come-recreational cyclist would be our target market; after all, this makes up a decent amount of our current customers.  They have graduated (or maybe retired) [...]]]></description>

Whether it is for an early 1960&#8242;s race bike, or a mid 1980&#8242;s off-roader, we are happy to provide our expertise. But &#8230; there is a downside. We do our best to give thorough thoughtful answers, often [...]]]></description>
