FAQ's:
What Kind of Bikes do you sell? We sell boutique and non-boutique bicycle brands. A boutique
bicycle company is one that manufactures the highest quality frames that can be made. They offer
quality, detail, precision, frame components, welds, finishing, strength and durability that is not
matched in the industry because of price and manufacturing limitations. Boutique brands are rarely
marked down, and hold their value in the resale market. These brands are the Rolex watches of
the bicycle industry. They are highly desirable (call up any bike shop and ask them if they like my
little list here) and framesets usually go for around $3000.
Our Boutique Brands
Ibis - The brand with the most soul in the industry. Carbon only. DW Link. Magic.
Independent Fabrication (I.F.) - Setting the standard in handmade Ti, steel and offering a
lifetime warranty on their carbon lugged frames. Best paint jobs in the industry.
Knolly - Simply the finest riding big bikes that you can buy. All MTN and DH.
Moots - With me since 2005. Handmade Ti in Steamboat Springs CO.
Turner - Simply the finest US made Aluminum mountain bike frames that money can buy. 26,29,
650B...DW link. I've had people pay to refinish their 2005 6 pack.....when's the last time someone
did a factory refurbishment of their FSR?
Ventana - Hand crafted mountain bikes and tandems. 650B offerings. Tandems. US quality.
Our Non-Boutique Brands - brands that speak to us and offer performance with a budget in mind.
Most of the bicycles that you see in any bike shop are non-boutique brands. You'll find that we've
selected our non boutique brands to be more durable and to have more style then other large
manufactures out there.
Foundry - Like Surly, owned by QBP (the largest distributor in the world), Foundry offers carbon
only road, cross and hardtail 29ers. A working mans...or working womans bike. Sexy and
Tough....just like my wife. 10 year carbon warranty....your current bike has that right? Their
component sister company is Whisky.
Kona - The long sweet ride. An international powerhouse that stays true to its roots. Excellent
quality bicycles, high durability and tons of style.
Surly - Utilitarian steel bicycles for road riding, mountain riding, touring, snow riding and bike
derbys. Cheap and Tough...just like me.

Fox Racing Shox - The finest US made suspension you can get.
Seatposts.

Lazer Helmets - High performance and stylish helmets.
Shimano - Drivetrain Components, mineral oil brakes, the only shoes we sell, electric shifting.

Zero Gravity (Ciamillo) brakes - the lightest and most powerful brakes you can buy for your road
bike.
How do I buy a bike....or parts?
Our shop is small and we usually operate by appointment. There is a lot of (mis)information out
there about bicycles and we are here to help. Rather than sit with bated breath for you to walk into
my shop and drop $10,000 on a bike, our customers (both in state and out) usually call first or
email to set up a time. We go through what the person needs be it a sale or a repair and arrange
the process for getting the job done. Nobody falls through the cracks, no parts get mis-ordered,
and your experience with my shop is excellent. Our shop carries a few demo bikes and parts, but
usually it is the skill of our sales staff that guides our customers through the ordering process
whether its a complete bike, a gruppo, apparel or nutritional products.
Tell me about the service side of your business?
Our shop offers traditional service and repair of bicycles. Same deal, we prefer to have
appointments scheduled, but we do offer walk in hours as well. We go through your bike and
match up your expectation with what can be done. We are a FOX, SHIMANO and SRAM
certified service center. That means that my mechanics attend classes every year to be updated on
the repair of these products by the manufactures.
We also provide VERY specialized service to the public as well as bikes shops both in and out of
state: We service and repair Fox and Rockshox forks and shocks. Same prices as PUSH, but since
we are authorized by Fox and Rockshox, your component stays within warranty if we work on it.
We also overhaul and repair all brands of disc brakes. We recommend bringing in the
fork/shock/set of brakes removed from the bicycle...unless you want to pay us to do that for
you...which is cool.
Can I watch you fix my bike? - No.
