NEW HEATER THING !!!

2009-02-18T09:33:00.000-08:00

We just got the new Heater thing moments ago. If all goes well, that thing will be on our roof shortly. Although i just overheard the worker guys discussing how it was much heavier than they thought, so there is a possibility this may be sitting on our showroom floor for the t-shirt party. fingers crossed.

2009-02-17T10:04:00.000-08:00

If you have been into the shop in the last month or three, you may have noticed it was rather chilly. Or you may have noticed the employees were dressed warmer than yourself. Well, this is due to some heating issues we have been having with our old heating system. However, there are currently hard working men on our roof installing a newer, better system that will pump heat like a flamethrower eating dragon. So this calls for celebration, drop by Thursday for our first and only T-SHIRT PARTY. Don't expect balloons or food, just a few guys in t-shirts. have a great day.

SALE ITEMS

Hey guys. So I know there have not been a ton of updates lately. In my defence, we are a bike shop, it is February. I rest my case. So I just thought I would remind everyone of our various sale items at the shop right now.

We have our 50% off table. Which features our "salvage items". If you recall we had a flood about a year ago now (*knocks on wood). Well these are the items that have survived. In most cases the boxes got wet (twss), but the item was not affected.

Such as these Shimano RO99 w/carbon sole (ballin). Reg-$199 Now-$99

-Auto "Photo every 2or 5 seconds" Mode
