While there are often some good deals on Craigslist, there are also plenty of not so good deals:<br />
<ul>
<li>Sometimes bikes are in decent working order, but need enough repair parts and labor costs to make them cost more than a brand new bike. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Sometimes bikes are put together by people who don't know enough about bicycles in order to properly assemble them. Non-compatible components are often 'slapped together' into a bicycle that will end up costing the buyer a lot of money to get into working order.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Other times, critically damaged and/or unprofessionally repaired frames and components are hacked together by someone who is fully aware that what they're doing is wrong, and couldn't care less about the safety of the person they're selling it to. Case in point:</li>
</ul>

A 1" threaded fork whose steerer was too short to fit this frame. Solution? Chop off another fork's 1" threadless steer, weld it together, and grind down the weld. The joint is sleeved with a tiny piece of some other bike's steer. The steerer is crooked regardless.</div>

Hello All,</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We are raising the price of our Full
and Light Tune up. We have held the price at $60.00/$40.00 for a few
years. We've learned that the level of service most of our tune ups
require exceeds what can be done without more time/effort. In order
to continue offering the level of quality we feel is necessary, we
need to increase our latitude in performing repairs. This coupled
with basic cost of living increase, we are overdue for new pricing.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Our new prices will be:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Full Tune Up, $85.00 (not including
parts). This includes the installation of wear parts, adjustment and
lubrication of all parts of the bicycle, wheel truing, Bearing
adjustments, and proper tire inflation.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Light Tune Up, $60.00 (not including
parts). If your bicycle does not require the replacement of wear
parts, such as cables/housings; cassette/freewheel, or wheel truing,
we will recommend the Light Tune Up. This includes, as above,
adjustment and lubrication of all parts of the bicycle. We will
install a chain, and/or brake pads if needed.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We hope our wonderful clientele, who
have helped us realize our dream, and made us the successful shop we
are today, will stand behind our decision. We feel this will help us
to continue offering the quality of service we have been providing
over the years without reducing our quality of life.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
This change will take place on May 1<sup>st,</sup>
2014. Bicycles dropped off for an estimate before that date will be
honored at the original price.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Our “ala carte” prices will not be
affected by this change.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We thank you for your support in this
necessary move. We are so proud of what we've been able to
accomplish, and are so grateful to all of you who have made this
possible.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>

<br />
Long time no post! We have been busy repairing bicycles all spring.<br />
<br />
We made it into the PDX approved issue of The Portland Mercury. Look for our tiny ad in there on July 24th. A humongous thanks to everyone who voted for us! we are having a great summer and look forward to fixing your bicycles!<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />

We will be open the 1st of Febuary and the shop will have had a pretty major makeover in some areas. All the bikes for sale will be upstairs now and our repair area will be downstairs. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but are looking forward to a smoother operating shop from here on out! As we move toward spring we are planning on creating a larger area for nicer used parts and moving into consignments of both bicycle and higher end components. We are also aiming to become an even more full service shop and should be able to start offering an even great array of repair options, including the servicing of all types of disc brakes and rebuilding of shocks etc. Swing by after the 1st of February and check out the new and improved A Better Cycle!A Better Cyclehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17482247473454893347noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128989420286723021.post-56466172624020600032012-11-18T12:15:00.001-08:002012-11-18T12:15:11.218-08:00We will be closed Thursday, November 22, for Thanksgiving and the following Friday for Buy Nothing Day.

We need to get rid of all these bikes we haven't sold yet, so we decided to knock 10% OFF the price of all the bicycles we have. That means our bikes are anywhere from $45 to $130 cheaper! Not only that, but you still get 10% off any accessories (racks, fenders, locks, helmets, gloves, etc.); a free tune-up; and a T-Shirt when you buy a bike from us.<br />
We also have a ton of decent frames waiting for custom builds.<br />
These include:<br />
Kona Smoke<br />
Kona Jake the Snake<br />
Razesa - Columbus tubes, Spanish made. These guys built high end frames for Zeus back in the day.<br />
Schroeder Mixte - Handmade in Copenhagen<br />
and a bunch of other cool stuff. <br />
Slow season is on its way for us and I'm sick of looking at all of these beautiful bikes and frames just gathering dust!<br />

We've got the <a href="http://khsbicycles.com/bikes/2012-khs-models/urban-soul/">Urban Soul</a>, <a href="http://khsbicycles.com/bikes/2012-khs-models/urban-xpress/">Urban Xpress</a>, and <a href="http://khsbicycles.com/bikes/2012-khs-models/urban-x/">Urban X</a> in stock. We've been pleasantly impressed with the spec and build quality of these bikes, especially at their price point ($300-$600).<br /><br />The Urban X, for example, comes with a reasonable 3x8 drivetrain, mechanical disc brakes, full fenders, a rear rack, and simple, understated graphics. Even more impressive are the frame's Double-Butted Reynolds 520 CroMo main tubes and a weird-but-cool 1 1/4" - 1 1/8" tapered-steerer fork to stiffen up the front end. <br /><br />Check em out!<br />
