VELOCITY SALE

1 07 2009

We got Velocity Deep V’s for $260, all colors, come pick a set up before you miss out, you may just find that EVERYTHING in the shop is cheaper that most shops, and if you shop local shops (in our hood) it’s definitely cheaper, if the part, frame, wheel set, etc is not in the shop we can get it next day, cruise by!!

MY STOLEN BIKE

13 06 2009

My shit got ripped off right out of the shop….when I was in the back office! Next person I catch stealing from me may never walk again much less ride a bike, this is MY personal ride so to say the least this is personal, these parts are VERY obvious, I’ll hook up a FREE “Pake” frameset or deep V wheelset for the person that finds my bike, or at least the front wheels, stem and seat….I’d be alright with that, bring it, who’s got the balls to step up?

shitty cell phone pic, it had a flat black Vuelta 3″ deep V on the back with a yellow tire….

Just show me where the bike is, or address and you are hooked up, no names dropped.

I have to tell you, when Lance announced he was coming to cycling I was like “uhhh, okay, lame Lance comeback?”, but now I am 100% Lance supporter, the dude is a F@%king marine, a solid 100% man we all wish we could be more like, he is a workhorse and just a flat out savage in the peloton. the guy broke his collarbone a few weeks ago (it seems) and he’s already racing one of the grand tours, amazing.  He get’s a photo on the blog for that!

Good Luck at the Giro Lance!!!
