The Studio
We are a bicycle business nestled in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. The atmosphere at our studio is relaxed, professional, rich in bicycle culture, yet attitude-free. We are welcoming, and we enjoy working with cyclists of varied abilities and interests. Generally, we work with our customers in a variety of ways, all of which are highlighted on our Services page.
Since our inception in 2006, we’ve chosen to work with each customer 1-on-1, by appointment. We feel this unique interaction allows for focused and thorough attention throughout the time we spend together.
In 2012, we transitioned from working by-appointment, to holding regular retail hours.
We offer bicycles from Seven Cycles, Cervelo, Focus Bikes, Parlee Cycles, and Ibis Cycles.
Experience and Expertise
The studio was founded in 2006 by Zac Daab. Prior to opening CBS, Zac spent five years at Seven Cycles as the Senior Fit Technician. During that time, Zac helped develop and recommend specifications for nearly 7,000 custom frames and worked with a variety of customers including Olympians, professional athletes, weekend warriors, and cycling enthusiasts.
In 2012, Cascade Bicycle Studio welcomed Terry Buchanan as a full-time working partner.  Buchanan is the co-founder of StarCrossed, the original twilight cyclocross race under the lights at Marymoor Park; the founder of Lake Washington Velo Club; and a key mentor to now professional riders like Tyler Farrar and Svein Tuft.
Additionally, CBS is proud to have Dieter Eckels and Jason Williams on staff. Dieter has turned–literally– hundreds of Seven Cycles frames into flawless new bicycles and it’s safe to say his mechanical skills and expertise has led to many, many, happy CBS customers. Jason comes to CBS with a depth of mechanical service knowledge, primarily from the auto industry, but also within the bicycle world. Jason is the two-time singlespeed overall series winner of Seattle’s MFG Cyclocross series and 2011 singlespeed winner of StarCrossed.
Since 2006, Cascade Bicycle Studio has been a Seven Cycles Top-10 retailer each year. CBS has been featured in The New York Times, Seattle Magazine, Complex Magazine, Lux Magazine, and Bicycling Magazine, and has been a profitable business in each fiscal quarter since opening. In 2011, Cascade Bicycle Studio was named a Top-100 Bicycle Retailer in the United States by Bicycling Magazine, and a Top-10 Bicycle Retailer by Complex Magazine.
We look forward to meeting you, and potentially working with you in the future!
