We Have Keys!!!

As of yesterday we have closed on our new building on main street in downtown LaGrange. The design team will be in next week and we are hoping that we can get the remodel of the building done by end of year. The shop should be complete and fully stocked by February and we will pull off some sort of real grand opening sometime in March. We will, however, have the doors open for those in the know much sooner than that. We will move current inventory and some new lines in as soon as the security system is functional. Internet operations will switch over as soon as the computer sytems and internet are in.
In case I have forgotten to say it before, thanks to all our customers, team riders and distributors who took a chance on us. The past two years have been a great ride. We started out as simply some guy hawking bike parts out of his "bike room". The inventory was stored in a couple of tupperware containers, and we sold $40 worth of product our first month. Since then our inventory has grown steadly and we have added brands monthly. Our additions of SRAM, Wheels Manufacturing, and Stan's no tubes have brought us to a competitive position in the online market. Brands like Spiuk and Viner rounded out our line and got us into some high end niche markets. Our racing team which was new for the 07 year helped us get some of the word out and start bringing some local business.
All of this is now coming together to a point where the inventory that was in two boxes in a small room in the house has taken over the dining room, office, and bedroom as well as the "bike room". So two years after putting up the sketchy initial version of our website we are moving into a brick and mortar shop.
All this is especially exciting because not only am I no longer wrenching on my front porch, the new building will allow us to further expand our line of products. Watch for an expanded Campagnolo line as well as the addition of Shimano, Thompson, KHS, Time, Crank Brothers and many more.
So again, Thanks to all of you who have helped make this possible. I think most people on this forum will understand how excting this is for me. Now when someone asks me what I do I can say "I play with bikes for a living."
