My favorites. Simple originals, but much more elegant. I hope Theory 11 brings them back. I bought a bunch to keep and to give as gifts and I am almost out.
AZ • May 25th, 2022I love these cards - at first (real quick) glance, they look like ordinary Classic Riders but then the second look tells you they are completely different. Real nice to handle and the feel great.
Wellington, NZ • Jan 12th, 2021I love bicycle Riders. They’re my absolute favorite. When I work I use these and original vintage Jerry’s exclusively. I’ve got well over 500 decks from just about every designer/mfg out there and some handle beautifully but don’t compare to these work horses I’ve been using for over 30 years. Granted I’m still working through my stash of blue seals but the KY decks are still just fantastic. You’ve heard the phrase a car handles like it’s on rails - well a deck of 808 riders (short for rider back) given a thorough treatment with fanning powder and it’s like an electric deck. Like they’re held together with invisible thread for fans, spreads, culls etc. Tossing a double down on my mat as one card is effortless. The cut gives you enough grab to easily turn 2,3 or more cards over with ease. I can’t say enough good about them. Just get your hands on them and if you don’t love love love them. I’ll buy em.
Hampton, VA • Jan 28th, 2020One of my all time favorites! Just enough shine to be considered elegant, yet not obnoxious.
Georgia, US • Jan 1st, 2020These cards are incredible. They feel amazing and the off color back design is beautiful. They are the workman's cards, great for performing. Glad I added them to my collection.
Denver, Colorado • Feb 2nd, 2018Magnificent set of bicycle rider backs, the metallic finish really adds an amazing touch to such an iconic deck.
Peculiar • Dec 21st, 2017These cards are amazing, they feel so good in the hands and my wife loves the color of them. I will definitely need more of these.
Bessemer, Alabama • Dec 15th, 2017A fresh take on the classic rider back design, these cards handle as great as they look! Just feel 'right' in your hand. Pure class.
London, UK • Feb 14th, 2017I just got my Blue Steel's in the mail and I'm speechless. Theory11 does it again! The way these cards handle is just amazing and the metallic ink adds another level of beauty to this deck. I promise these are worth every single penny!
Williamsport, MD • Feb 1st, 2017Whether you're a card collector, magician or a cardistry enthusiast, these cards are a fine addition to any collection! Truly beautiful decks and the tuck case adds that extra pinch of finesse to make it a great looking and great handling deck all around! Highly recommend it!!
United States • Jan 26th, 2017Great addition to my collection, goes along well with the metallic inked Tally-Ho's from T11 I bought in Las Vegas this year. Now to get the blue ones!
Missouri • Dec 4th, 2016Very great cards with the metallic finish. Buy some if you can get your hands on some.
Genes • Oct 27th, 2016These cards are really great if you want to change from standard Bicycle cards but still want to keep the iconic backs. These cards look really good in person and I personally love the shades of red and blue. A very good choice for a cheap price.
Lawrenceville, Georgia • Oct 25th, 2016It feels really good as I thought the cards would not have as good finishing because of their shiny feature. Turns out I was completely wrong.
Isle of Man • Sep 23rd, 2016This is one of Theory11's most underrated decks of cards. The classic 808 Bicycle design looks refreshingly contemporary with the crimson ink and metallic finish. They handle phenomenally and will last through several beatings of regular gigs. I love this deck. It's one of the classiest yet most affordable decks Theory11 offers; perfect for workers.
Philadelphia, PA • Sep 3rd, 2016Simply put these are some nice cards! They look great and the finish is amazing. They will set you apart from the rest. Buy them!
Omaha, Nebraska • Aug 10th, 2016These cards are a lot better than the normal bicycle cards and have a fantastic metallic finish. They may be cheap but they are fantastic cards.
Sydney, New South Wales • Aug 2nd, 2016A familiar design that adds a touch of class to your magic and cardistry, as well as increased durability and performance.
California • Jul 27th, 2016The metallic finish really gives the cards a nice touch that the normal bikes don't have; if you want to switch it up a little while still not playing too much these cards are perfect for that.
USA • Jul 27th, 2016Pictures don't do the metallic finish justice. It looks even better in person. Feels & handles a bit different than the usual theory11 deck. I'm guessing it uses retail Bicycle stock instead of the FSC stock that most t11 decks use. I find the metallic inks make these cards a little more slippery than usual, but I like that. The embossed tuck case is a great touch as well. For the price, you really get a lot with this deck!
Cleveland • May 5th, 2016This is epic! I did not expect the stunning tone and metallic touch to the cards. Definitely worth every cent.
MA • May 2nd, 2016The first deck of cards I ever used were a deck of Bicycles given to me as a gift and I have used and loved them ever since, now with these fantastic metallic ones from theory11 I think I may have just found a new favorite, definitely worth the $5.
California • Apr 2nd, 2016Absolutly love these! I bought a pack originally becuase I liked the back design, but the handling is fantastic. Definitely higher quality than standard bikes, plus a double backer is included. Much better color tones, and handling overall than normal bikes.
Oregon • Jan 14th, 2016Love these so much! They bring the slightest touch of elegance to the original rider backs- the just right amount of originality to set it apart but still let the legacy and simplicity of the first Riderbacks shine through. They cost just right, and the feel of the cards will blow you away. This deck is a must to get!
U.S.A. • Nov 28th, 2015Really excellent, the color tones are very successful. One of my favorites.
Turkey • Jul 7th, 2015I bought the red one. It's a good deck, with good handling, fans perfectly, and it's great for me, even when I use it to practice cardistry. Overall it's a very good deck, I'm looking forward to buy more of these!
Terengganu, Malaysia • Nov 29th, 2014Classic!
Santa Monica • Apr 10th, 2014This is an epic twist to the classic bicycle cards. The metal foil gives off an unmatched glow to leave your poker buddies and spectators amazed. if you are trying to get attention in your tricks and flourishes or you just want to look professional when you sit down at the poker table these cards are for you. To me this is one of the best comebacks the classic rider-back could ask for.
Ohio • Mar 14th, 2014Instant classic. It is essentially the bicycle deck, which many love and hold dear, except more beautiful. Handles amazingly, and at no point during my use of these cards, was I disappointed. Highly recommended to try them. On more personal note, I prefer red over blue. Red shine strikes more than blue in my opinion.
Denver • Nov 30th, 2013These were the first decks I ever ordered online. In addition they were my first custom deck. They are my favorite bicycle deck I have ever purchased. If I were ever to buy a custom made bicycle deck online these would be it.
