Shoes

Specialized shoes rock. They look like regular shoes on the outside, but inside is a unqiue footbed that puts your foot in the proper pedaling position for the best power output. Plus they also add some support for your arch and some cush. All that comes standard in one of there shoes. Standard not good enough? You can spend a bit extra and get a footbead more customized to exactly what you need. Ladies have a different design than mens. You can go economical or completly over the top. We have over 11 models of their shoes in stock. Half sizes available. We are more than happy to help you get the perfect fit.
Ladies! want to know my personal fav's?
for a spin shoe I love the "Riata"- it has llot of give, and is breathable, adn I can walk around the gym floor.
For a Road shoe..give me the "Spirita"- velcro and stiffness what more could a girl desire.
For a MTB shoe- I am all over the expert carbon.

Check out the new insides

our walls are getting revamped..there is so much in store for this store, stay tuned.

look at this store, and Ladies!

okay, first your looking at just a portion of our store. If you have never been in this store before you, need to get in here. whether your just looking, shopping, or killing time, this is the place to come to see the latest gear, and a whopping amount of precious parts, seats, lids, bars, gu, glasses, kicks, socks, and more. You might see it is a magazine, you will see it here.

So, I pulled this beautiful Specialized Dolce comp out of the lineup to give it its time deserved on our blog. My first bike was a Specialized Dolce. Money was tight, but I wanted a bike that fit me right, was sized for a woman, and had good components that would last. I also wanted it to be sweet looking. Mine was blue, and I loved it. I will never forget with a new bike, that first ride. When you finally get the bike home to your street in your town, and get your new helmet out, fill your bottles, and get ready to ride. Well my first ride on my Dolce was about 7 miles, but I remember coming home, being so excited that I finally had a bike that fit. The best part, I remember so clearly, was the seat felt great. It was like the bike was made for me. This bike inspired my love for road riding, finally I could ride longer than 5 miles, and my wrists, butt and neck, felt great. The Dolce is the bike for the woman rider who does not want limitations. You can ride fast, you can ride strong, you can ride comfortable. There is such a thing as a bike designed for a woman. The best thing is, you can look good at the same time.
Thank You specialized. I am specialized.

Service Manager Steve

here is Steve. He is in charge of our service department. Steve came to us, after years of working as a car mechanic. We all know the story Seabiscut, and if you know some history in that story you would know how closley cars and bicycles relate, mechanics wise. So..I am telling you this, because many ask, where did steve learn, where did he come from. he is self taught on bikes, and his skills have developed over the years, he has a background in auto mechanics.

Besides from bike reapir, Stcve also is our head ski technician. Thi sjob required a bit more trainning, since he had no background, so last year we shipped him off to Ski school. He came back telling us what to do. Next time your here, be sure to stop back and say Hi to Steve. We think he's pretty cool.

Does this bike scream Sexy or What?

This is a 2010 Specialized Roubaix Expert. The picture may not do this bike justice, (I think it does), but up close you will see a super sweet Specialized carbon frame, with vibration dampening system, aero dish Roval wheel set, Shimano Ultegra Components, all centered around the BG Fit theory created by Specialized which almost guarantees rider comfort on the bike. Why would you look any further? I am not feeding you a bunch of bull, I have personally bought 3 of these bikes so far. I have outfitted other riders in the area on too many of these bikes to count. When good friends of mine come to me, looking for a bike, We start here. The roubaix gives you the best of both worlds, speed and performance. My father has one of these, My good friend Jen has one of these. Sure this blog is not going to convince you to come out and get one, but I hope it convinces you to at least come out and ride one. Just test it, even if your not looking for a new bike. But be careful, and don't say I didn't warn you, because everyone has room in the house for one of these.

10% off Specialized Fall and Winter Cool Weather Riding Gear

We all know Specialized Has the coolest bikes. They make really sexy product, and everytime I see a Specialized bike, componet or accesory, I want it. The 2009 Fall / winter clothing line is no exception. I might be a little biased on my reviews of their shorts, jerseys, jackets, gloves and booties, possibly because almost every garmet I own is made by Specialized. There cycling clothing is not the cheapest out there, but I know better than anyone, you get what you pay for. Some of my specialized gear has been around for years. They are constantly innovating as cycling changes, for example, the trend in past years has been endurance cycling, and now they have a short that is designed for longer rides, more padding, more comfort, less bulk, fantastic! The jacket I am in here, is one of my favs..it is form fitting, warm, and repels rain, sleet snow. I wear this 90% of the time during winter bikes, skis, snowshoes, you name it. Their tights, are another, that I use for multiple sports, running, cycling, skiing..ect. Stop in chek this stuff out, and take advantage of the 10% off while you can...just mention you read our blog. We just unpacked this, so we have complete size runs..need I say more?

2010 Specialized Helmets

Check these babies out! I was thinking as I went over to the big display this morning.."wow" thats allot of lids..and was not too excited, since they appeared the same from 2009. But..when I took one out of the box and began to play with it..I saw the big updates..a new profit dial on the back. I love this. The old system was okay, but this new dial goves you a nice tight fit, with no helemt bob! Perfect! I made Ariel be my model...since we wanted to show you what i mean. At $40 and up, you have got to get one of these.
