October 8th

Cow Pie Classic! Last year everyone had such a good time, it is definitely worth taking a look at doing it this year. Plus, the schwag this year is going to be even better than last.

 

plus beer and brats!!

This Saturday

  

Come on down and get your dirt on, or just hang out with me

Fun shop happenings

Well it is looking like we are going to have some great cycling weather for at least the next while, something we are all looking forward to. Another thing I am looking forward to is the Red River Cyclocross race out at M.B.Johnson park this Saturday Morning, registration starts at 8am. It is a 20 dollar registration fee, come out it will be fun! As well we just confirmed that the Cow Pie Classic will be going off October 8th!!! They had such a blast last year, I am definitely not going to miss it this year. Plus, the shirt that you get for participating is pretty sweet.
We have a couple really awesome rides hanging around the shop right now the first here is a special order Electra we just got in the model is the Blanc Et Noir. If you would like one for yourself, I may just be able to wrangle one up for you.

It is definitely a beautiful bike, and with Electra's foot forward technology it will surely prove to be a bike that can be enjoyed all day.
Another rad ride of a different kind, We built up our 56 Salsa Casseroll frame up with a Sram Rival group.

The build is rocking the Rival group, Avid Shorty 6's, Shimano RS10 wheelset, with Panaracer Tserv's in 700x32. It is a quick and comfortable ride, and it is still available to you the consumer! Calling it the Casserival. Would be a perfect around town bike, and for some light touring. I have one myself and it is definitely a comfortable bicycle.
