Spring is here and the wrenches are getting HOT

Spring is here?

Wait didn't it snow today?

And Yesterday?

And the day before?

Ok if you are a basketball fan you think it is still winter, but if you are a cyclist, you can smell spring and the road is calling. What this means is that it will be an act of sheer will-power to put down the wrench and get out on the shop ride tomorrow morning.

Things are starting to get crazy here at Goose Creek.

The team guys are all dialing in their bikes and we are building as fast as we can. Our riders on the UK cycling team have their first race this weekend and the guys are switching over from winter training parts to race rigs. Our new start up off road endurance team is putting the final touches on the sponsorship roster. Trainer rides and gym work are transitioning into epic road rides and weekend road trips to find trail frozen enough to be fast.

On top of all this prep work we just had a couple shipments of Demo bikes arrive from Niner bikes. The new bikes are getting pieced together slowly in between builds for customers and team riders. I had always had respect for the things Niner was doing, but the full scope of the how nice these frames are had not hit me until I got my hands of the frames and started building. If you have not seen one of these in person yet you need to come on down and get your hands on them. Cutomers bikes are the priority right now so the demos are not all built up, but we are getting there. Look for pictures of some cool custom builds to shop up shortly.

Ok, enough babbling I am building wheels and need to get back to it. After all, spring is here and there are bikes to be built.
