It's pre-season time!

Interbike is over, I started teaching the first of our maintenance classes tonight, and as mentioned in my last blog we have been sifting through all the information gathered in Vegas and are starting to make some sense of it all.

So what's new and what is coming in? We have already started to receive some new products. We just got in the new Torelli Montefalco and it is just plain stunning - photos don't do justice to the pearlescent paint, you have to come by the shop and see it! We also have the new wider leather saddle and the new Bormio women's saddle from Torelli! Another very nice item (the perfect Christmas gift for the Italiaphile in your life) is the Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion book. This beautiful 'coffee table' book is wonderful! Every cyclists library should have a copy.



The big news so far is that we are now an official Salsa dealer! We will be getting our first shipment of bikes and frames, most likely in November. (We actually have a La Cruz frameset, but it is already sold!)

I will have more news shortly as I confirm some other information in the coming weeks.

Back home again!

Back from Vegas, and now the real work begins! It is time to sort through all of those catalogs, specs, photos, and notes and make sense of it all!

Now is the time when we begin picking our bikes, accessories, clothing, shoes, all the products we will be selling next year! We will spend the next couple of months going over specifications and program details, asking questions, and writing orders for next years goodies. Stay tuned here as we go through all of this and see what comes out the other end!
