We are professional bike builders, who operate like consultants for a personal, one-on-one mountainbike relationship. We are not your usual bike shop. Our customers are very special to us and we treat you accordingly. We have years of experience building and racing bikes and an ongoing commitment to the sport of mountainbiking in all its facets.
Some people can go into a local bike shop, buy a bike and ride it with no problems. Good for them. They also yell out "Yee ha & Woo hoo!" a lot, and wear rugby shorts and white sneakers.
We aren't those people and seeing you’re here, neither are you!
We ride hard. We kill stuff. We don't have time for crap frames and components.
We only build with the good stuff. That’s the stuff that lasts, rides smooth, and makes the hours of hard training really worth it - gear that can put up with serious abuse. Like everything, we only use gear we would ride on, and not fluff.
You spend hours on your bike, so ride the best gear you can.
Race Team
Ben Power winner of the 2009 Queensland State Champs!! What can we say – we’re stoked as much as Ben. If you don’t know, we sponsor Ben and built up his now race proven Banshee Legend. Not only that, Ben has just wrapped up the local Sunshine Series with a win in U19 at Brookfield. It was an awesome result, which gave him 2nd overall in the series! A few races ago, Ben also seriously challenged the fun “jump for cash” at the Toowoomba round, grabbing himself 3rd place with this awesome effort! Well done Ben – here’s to the up and coming National Downhill Series – all the best mate!
EFTPOS
We are now EFTPOS capable with our new mobile machine!
Gravity Products
Looking for light, well priced components that can take punishment. We've been testing out the Gravity range from FSA and all we can say is WOW! Check out their gear at www.ridegravity.com if you see something you like, well we probably have it in stock. Absolutely great stuff.
We’ve hooked up with local Maxxis tyre dealer KWT to bring you the very best in mountainbike rubber. As you know, we ride hard, we kill stuff and our Race Team have been putting Maxxis’ best through the rough stuff. We can honestly vouch for Maxxis reliability, grip and longevity. It’s pretty much all we’re riding these days. Whether it’s Minions, Larsens, Advents or Holy Rollers, we keep all the 26 inch stuff in stock and can get our hands on all other types, sizes and widths very quickly.
Our workshop has had to undertake a number of 24 inch custom wheel builds of late, so we’ve updated our spoke cutting and threading machines. There is no size wheel we cannot do! So if you’re looking for something in 20, 24, 26 or even 29 inch, just give us a call. Our Hozan C700 is brand new and threads up spokes better than factory. It’s also a fun tool to use!
Race Team
The National Downhill Series is well under way and our sponsored rider Ben Power is doing absolutely brilliantly on a Brisbane Boutique Bike built Banshee Scythe. For all the race results, a few great race pics and the low down on Ben’s race bike, just check out our Race Team page.
We also have our limited edition race team jerseys available in most common sizes. So if you’d like to look uber cool on the trails or at the races, just give us a call to grab yours now! Made with the latest high tech sports fabric by Triple Play, with our famous philosophy chart on the back, they surely are eye catching and unique – just like the bikes we build.

We’re happy to say that we’ve hooked up with www.xxiv.com.au and are now Brisbane’s premier dealer for Banshee frames. Banshee builds some of the sweetest, strongest and lightest frames on the planet – that’s why we’ve decided to form an alliance with them. If you want to know more, you can check out their range of frames here: www.bansheebikes.com and read about their performance here: http://www.bansheebikes.blogspot.com/
We stock a compliment of their frames in many sizes and colours, so if you’re on the market for a reasonably priced, indestructible frame – just get in touch with us.
Race Team
Brisbane Boutique Bikes is proud to be sponsoring Ben Power for the 08/09 State and National Series. He’s a young Downhiller from right here in Brisbane. He’s had some outstanding results so far this year and we are hard at work building and race prepping his new bike for the Nationals. Check out our new Race Team page for Ben’s bio, details of his new ride and all the fun stuff along the way.
For those that don’t know, we stock heaps of the Chris King headsets and hubs and some of the cheapest prices in Australia. Lately, we’ve been doing a number of headset upgrades in a multitude of colours.
Customer Courtesy Bike – “Cosmo”
While we always try and give our customers a same day service on their bikes, sometimes you break something and it takes a little time to source a part to complete the repair. For this reason, we’ve gone and built up a sexy little dirt jump bike for you to play on, while your bike is being fixed. This way you’re never without a ride.
Or if you ride over to drop off your bike for a service, you can take “Cosmo” to work, the dirt jumps, and back home or wherever for the day, then ride on back in the afternoon to pick up your bike. How cool is that!
