New bike shop opening tomorrow!

  Sweetness and Art North are opening up a full service bike shop tomorrow. The main idea of this shop is to work on the bicycles of serious bicycle enthusiasts such as yourselves! That means not waiting in line behind a bunch of bikes with coaster brakes,so your bike will be ready for race day or that training ride you so desperately need!Great Service and timeliness are going to be the main objective!  8)  Another cool thing they will be doing is they are going to have bikes on consignment which is pretty cool.They already have several nice bikes that will be sold there on consignment at some really cheap prices!The location is very convenient. The business is called Native bikes and parts and it is located on the west side of  301 just south of Bloomingdale ave. Come on out and show Art and sweetness some support.They wont let you down! 8)

That sounds pretty cool. Will they carry regular inventory? Are Giants welcome in a place of such high class?

giants are more than welcome! ;)  they will look into doing a bike line later.I think they are selling ellsworth and pivots right now. The focus will be on wrenching and giving people good prices on parts. 8)

The shop is going to be very close to where I live, but I can't quite figure out where it is from Google. It pulls up as being next to the fruit stand on the corner. Are there any other landmarks to note?

I was there before 8 this morning and left at 6 for the swampclub board meeting tonight, I don't know where you got your info Chizz  :D . Did you hit your head riding trails that are to hard for you??? Stay off the hard options on Roller Coaster. The store is just past the fruit stand and across from the side entrance to Home Depot.It's in the same building as BMW Plumbing.

I went by the new shop  today to check it out and say hi to Art, its coming along nicely!  Its going to be great to have a quality bike  shop so close to home!  From talking to them it sounds like they have some great plans for the shop.

Art and Eric also donated a giant box full of parts to Trips For Kids today while I was there!  Forks, helmets, tires, tubes and lots of other great stuff for the kids..... very cool of them!
