Bearings Bike Works

⚡️ Meet Blue Lightning. A 1990s-era GT 26er that rolled into the bike shop ready for a second life. We kept the character that makes this bike special and gave it a few modern touches to bring it back to the streets.

Shimano STX 7-speed shifting, high-rise bars, Acera wheels, smooth Vans Cult tires, and matching Vans grips. 26” wheels, plenty of personality, and ready for a test ride.

Refurbished right here at Bearings. Come take it for a spin. 🚲💙

BBQ & Brew wouldn’t be possible without the businesses and community partners who show up for Bearings. 💛 A huge thank you to our 2026 sponsors for helping make this night happen and supporting youth programs in Southwest Atlanta. We’re so grateful to have you in our corner!

Happy ! This week we’ve got a Raleigh Marathon, refurbed by Eddie and updated with a more modern setup while keeping that classic Raleigh look.

We added a modern 2x9 drivetrain with a two-piece Race Face crankset and wider-range 9-speed cassette. We also converted the original 27-inch wheel setup to 700c, adding longer-reach brake calipers and Maxxis Detonator tires to bring it all together.

Classic frame, modern upgrades, and ready for plenty more miles. 🚲

🚨 LAST CALL! Rider registration for our youth mountain bike team closes TODAY. If your kid, or a kid you know, wants to ride this season, this is the moment. Sign up before midnight and we’ll see you on the trail! 🚵💛 bearingsbikeworks.org/mtb

Your school ID just got a little more useful! 📚 Students and teachers get 15% off at Bearings through the end of August! Come by the shop for bikes, gear, parts, accessories, and more. A little back-to-school perk from us. 🚲 Show your school ID at checkout!

This week’s is a Kona Smoke, a steel-frame mountain bike that’s around 25 years old and still has plenty of life left in it.

We gave it a modern 1x9 drivetrain, Vittoria Mezcal tires, and upright bars for a more comfortable riding position. A classic bike with a few updates that make it a total ripper for riding around town or hitting the trails.

We’re lucky to have great neighbors like eltesorowestend! 💛🌮
