Hey Everybody!
We are closing early tomorrow, Tuesday April 3rd, for some much needed Spring Cleaning. Our canopy got a little broken last week and the parts are here so we can re-erect shelter for the public repair area too. We may even rearrange a little while we're at it!        


We will be open from 10-2 tomorrow so come in early.

Starting April 4, swipe with purchase at any Supportland business and you may "find" a point-filled egg worth 10-75 points! 


Over 500 eggs will be hidden, so your chances are pretty stellar. Hop to it as the hunt ends midnight on April 7. 


Considering now is the best time to get your bike tuned up (read: before the crazy busy madness of actual nice weather), it's a great time to set and appointment!


 And remember, you can check out all the new rewards and businesses on supportland.com.

Labor Price (slight) Increase

Hello,

We have decided to bring our hourly rate up to reflect the increase in facilities cost we have accumulated over the years. It is always our goal to be better equipped to serve our wonderful clientele as best as we can. In effort to do this, we have spared little creating a workshop that can service more people, more completely.

The unfortunate caveat of this effort is increased expenses. We hope and ask that our beloved customers(who, by the way, are the best people on the planet) understand and appreciate what this means.

As of March 1st, 2012 Our hourly rate will be $60.00 an Hour rather than $50.00. This will affect Tune up prices, primarily. Other packaged deals will reflect the change as well, such as Overhauls, etc. Our "ala Carte" options will remain mostly unchanged, as they were based around $1.00 a minute estimations.

We look forward to your support on this matter, and we apologize in advance to anyone who feels alienated by this change.

Much love for all the business that has gotten us to this point,
Clinton

Valentine's Day Promotion

One of the biggest differences between local businesses and the other guys is that we deeply love our community. And what better holiday than Valentine's Day for us to show some of that love! 

From midnight to midnight on Feb 14 you can get it  Labor on a complete tune-up! with just 250 points in your  supportland.com account. Normally, and every day other than Valentine's Day, you need 500 points to get this reward. But on Valentine's Day, ALL your Supportland points are magically worth double at supportland.com


While this deal is only good until our inventory runs out, stay tuned to our social media where we'll be releasing more rewards throughout the day. Check out all the rewards being offered from locally-owned businesses across town at supportland.com and keep racking up those points!


With love, all mushy-gushy like,

This freshly powder coated, Peugeot Orient Express is an elegant commuter, which we've affectionately designated, as a "Monster Porteur".  These frames were originally marketed as mountain bikes, but we have re-purposed it with swept back handlebars, Schwalbe "Fat Frank" 2.35" Balloon tyres , Soma Porteur front rack, Brooks saddle, and fenders.  Refurbished components include, a more modern eight speed drive train, linear pull brakes, and our hand-built wheels.  The long wheel base and steel frame ensure a luxuriously supple ride as well as ease of handling even under heavy load.  The seat tube is 56cm and the top tube is 59 making it sort of a men's medium or women's tall with a comfortable upright seating position.
