In 2015, Velosmith was featured in the May issue of Bicycling Magazine. The article focused on 53 Shops You Must Visit in the United States.

VELOSMITH BICYCLE STUDIO, Chicago, IL

“Tony Bustamante was born into bike shops--his father, Alberto, opened a store in 1974 after working for former track pro Bruno Loatti. After years of wrenching, the younger Bustamante left Chicago and eventually took a job with Seven Cycles, where he became a senior fit technician. He returned to his hometown in 2011 to open Velosmith. The shop occupies a 1,000-square-foot space that dates to 1870 and retains the original pressed-tin ceiling and hardwood floor. His experience at Seven informs his fitting process. It is both simple and elegant, relying on sophisticated equipment, keen observation, and basic tools to assess a rider's physique and flexibility. Bustamante's meticulous attention to detail extends to everything Velosmith offers, from maintenance to dream-bike builds. "Our goal is to give the customer an amazing experience”, he says.”
