Polyvalent Build

As a Velo Orange distributor, I received a call from a customer who had purchased the VO's Polyvalent Mini Build Kit with the intention of building it himself. However, when he found there was a VO dealer in town he decided to bring it to me for the build. The bike consisted of Porteur bars, Guidonett brake levers, Brooks leather bar wrap and a Brooks Flyer Saddle. The drivetrain consisted of the Sugina Alpina crank and grip king pedals, Shimano Ultegra derailleurs and silver bar end shifters. I think the bike built up really nice, what do you think?

August 1st Group Ride

Join us every Sunday morning for a 10-15 mile leisurely group ride. Lately, we've been meeting at 9:00am at the shop and and riding through either Cherokee Park, Seneca Park, Iriquois Park or down the River Walk. Afterwards we like to stop for a cup of coffee and maybe even a light brunch in the highlands. Show up at 9 and enjoy the bicycle loving company.

Moving announcment

I have signed a lease and will take possition of the ground floor of the building located at 912 Baxter Avenue. This move will give me over 3 times the space and a more visible and accessable location.The main show room is 600 sq' with 2, 4'x5' display windows. Special thanks to Dominic Bosco for the work on the domain web site. We spent most of the day Saturday and will have new features up soon. I am making a commitment to stock more of the Brooks line and refine the offering in Park Tools, Bern Helmets, and Velo Orange products. I also hope get back to regular postings of newly completed work and new inventory. Have had a turn over of about 20 bikes in the inventory. I have aquired just about enough to replace what has gone out the door. I hope to be in the new location open for business by the 2nd or 3rd week of June.
