What happened to the Blog?

For those loyal readers of the blog (and other ficticious charactors) you may be saying, what is it with the lack of updates and stunning commentary. Well, the deal is that as indicated by the last post, March happened. People have started to walk through the doors and we are getting busy. On top of this, new products are arriving every day. We just took a huge delivery of Rocky Mounts racks, and we have been keeping the folks at Wheels Manufacturing and Stans busy making product for us. At one point today I was staring at deliveries from three of our major distributors which had effectivly blocked the entry way to the main "showroom" and I just didn't know where to start. (The pile has now been cleared, so it is okay to come visit us again) At any rate, I will try to get some new pictures and stories up in the next few days, but your best bet is to come down and check out all the new developements. There is something new every day.

Three Cheers for march

Ok everyone, pull your bike out. It's March and the sun is shining. Since we kicked open our retail doors in February our mantra has been "get through February, make it to March". So now our last excuse for putting things off is gone. It is time to ride. The first race of our spring series is today so the roadies have been shining up their bikes and wiping the last of the salt away. And the mountain bikers have prepped themselves for the pre-season.

Here at the shop we are finally moved in to a point where we feel comfortable with the day to day traffic and no longer have to start every sentance with "when we get fully moved in..." Despite this, there is still a lot of work to be done until we get the shop exactly where we want it. We have yet to put in the "lounge" in the front room. And the office space is still just a computer on a card table, but with the arrival of clothing racks this week, the showroom floor is just about done.

The design work for our sign in being finalized and then it is a waiting game to get it approved by the historic committee and liscenced by the city. But people seem to be finding us without it. Sometimes a bike in the window is all the explanation that a shop needs.

So good luck to the racers today. Spring may be 20 more days away, but we are ready for it, and are going to start without it.
