Spring Update

Spring is in the air and there's a lot happening right now at Blacks Cycle. There's something in this note for everyone, so have a seat and grab a drink because this is gonna be a long one...

First off, the time change is this weekend, which means group rides begin next week. Tuesday night will mark the first mountain bike ride, and Thursday will be the first road ride (the road ride will be weather permitting since Les is made of sugar).

Next up: Ever wanted to have access to a $2500 Zipp wheel set to use on race day? How about training with a $2700 CycleOps Power Tap set up? Well, we've found a way to allow you access to these high end goodies that won't break the bank. We'll be renting both these items out at very reasonable rates over the course of the season. This is a pretty unique opportunity, so if you have a big event coming up and want an edge over your competition, give us a shout and we'll fill you in on the details.

We have a bunch of new bikes going on sale, and the prices are REALLY good. All Felt road bikes are up for grabs, as are mid price point mountain bikes ($500-1200). We're taking offers on the last few Pinarellos and won't say no to anything reasonable. In short, if you're looking for something or know anyone that is now is a really smart time to stop by the shop for a visit.

We have all our Norco kids bikes and Chariot trailers in stock. Spring break is coming up, so gear up now so the whole family can get out and enjoy the first few days of spring.

The repair shop is still relatively quiet (although we've seen a definite increase in volume over the last week), so now's the perfect time to get your ride dialed in. Beat the rush, get your bike tuned up now so when the sun comes out and others are waiting you'll be out there riding.

So that's a quick taste of some of the things going on. As usual, if you haven't been in the shop for a while stop on by. There's lots of new and exciting stuff we'd love to show you, so come by and have a chat.
