How time flies!

So we thought it was high time to evaluate, re-invigorate and find new ways to improve our service to you even more. 

So our question to ourselves was -  'How can we serve our customers better?'  - So after a few amazing trail rides, road climbs, deep inspirational thought and post recovery drinks (beers) we decided that the best way to meet our customers needs was to have more contact with them & time with their bikes!

With more time.... we have more opportunity to have our expert hands and eyes on your ride - time to have more opportunity to clean, detail and take care of things before they become a problem - time to make the most out of your investment keeping things in peak condition!
