Bike Review Wednesday - SPECIALIZED S-WORKS TARMAC Di2 DISC

A little while back we had the Specialized Demo Truck at the shop and we all got to test ride some of the 2015 models.  One of them was the 2015 S-Works Tarmac Di2 Disc bike and we were all very impressed with it.  I just came across a Review on BikeRadar of it for your reading enjoyment as well.  The bike has a MSRP of $9,500 and rides like a dream.  We have them in stock at the shop as well so if you are interested in checking out an Electric Shifting, Hydraulic Road Disc Brake, and Carbon bike then stop by and check this beauty out!



If you have been following the blog you have seen this photo of Tom in Arizona wearing his ASSOS kit.  We recently became an Authorized Retailer for ASSOS and their outstanding line of clothing.  Today they announced a special Facebook promotion where you could win signed Swiss National Cycling Team jerseys.

First hurdle is owning some ASSOS gear so stop into the shop today and take a look at our inventory.  While you are there ask Tom about how comfortable and durable their clothing is.  Nothing like an honest review right from the wearer of the clothing!

We are open from 10-6 today so stop by and check out our inventory and start putting together a Christmas List or get some ideas for the bike rider on your list!


Indoor Race Series information is out. Click on the link to register and purchase your race credits because it is going on right now!  Sure the weather was ideal for outdoor riding recently but you saw what happened last weekend.  Don't miss out on some great winter training opportunities!

Mountain Bike Monday - LYNSKEY MOUNTAIN BIKES

If you have been following Facebook at all - you know I have been traveling around the south with my Lynskey Ridgeline 29 Titanium Hardtail.  They have a full line of mountain bikes and even though they may be on the higher end of the cost scale, if you do a lot of mountain biking I feel the cost is justified.  They are durable and reliable and manufactured right here in the USA!  Here is the full Lynskey Mountain Bike Line.

If you are looking to save money and missed out on the Reverse Bike Auction and all the great deals on 2013 or older models. Until 10/31/2014 - ALL 2014 BIKES ARE 10% OFF & YOU RECEIVE A GIFT CARD FROM TOM'S PRO BIKE FOR 10% OF REMAINING VALUE.  That is not a bad deal at all.  The remaining 2013 inventory is on sale - just not as big of a price cut that you could have scored the last 3 or 4 weeks with the Auction - stop by for more information.

We are open from 10-6 today so come on down - the weather looks like it is trying to clear up for some more beautiful fall riding.

Don't forget we stock Assos Clothing & Accessories now.  In the picture of Tom below from Arizona he is wearing a kit from Assos, so when he gets back ask him about the line and get some first hand review about a great line of clothing.

2015 Specialized Turbo Line

We have discussed the Specialized Turbo here before but for 2015 they have come out with a new model at a reduced cost as well.  So if you were very interested in the Original Turbo (which they still make and is the Specialized Turbo S) but maybe were a little sticker shy check out the Specialized Turbo:

The Specialized Turbo combines speed and style through an innovative electric-assist motor, advanced electronics, and sleek design. Capable of a top speed of 45 km/h, the Turbo delivers superhuman power to anyone who rides it.

• Sleek and sturdy alloy frame with Performance Geometry designed for high-speed riding
• Oversized alloy fork is strong and responsive—even at 45 km/h
• Specialized Electrak Armadillo tires for performance and durability no matter the speed
• Body Geometry Turbo saddle keeps your comfortable for the fastest rides
• Direct Drive rear hub motor provides uber efficient power no matter the terrain
• Wireless interface unit with illuminated display to show key ride data
• Finest quality Li-Ion battery pulls maximum power w/ superfast charging times

The MSRP is $3,800 in comparison to $5,900 for the Turbo S.  The biggest differences are drivetrain components and the front wheel on the Turbo is a standard quick-release compared to a Thru-Axle with the Turbo S.  Will those differences change the ride quality?  Well when we get our Turbo in you can test ride them both and decide for yourself.  I know that $3,800 makes it much more inviting to me as a commuter rig!

We are open from 10-8 today so come on in and take a test ride on that bike you always wanted! There is a new Valpak Coupon out as well.

Don't forget we stock Assos Clothing & Accessories now.

2013 & Older Bike Clearance Sale

There are only so many words to describe the sale that Tom is having right now on all 2013 and older models.  UNREAL, WOW, I NEED THAT BIKE, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME are some that came to mind as I walked around the store on Saturday and looked at some of the prices.

I am working on getting the exact sale list up on the blog and facebook but if you are looking for a new bike or just think that getting a great deal on a bike is pretty cool also then I would head over to Tom's and check out the prices.



I saw a Lynskey Titanium Hardtail 29'er Mountain Bike for under $4,000.  That is a $5500 bike generally.  There are 105 level road bikes for close to $1,100.00.  I can't even imaging what the Fuji Di2 UL bike (the Altamira is posted above) are going for (they were already down to $2,950.00 before the sale from their original price of $4,000.00).  Needless to say if you are in the market for a bike stop on by and check out our inventory.  As with all sales of this caliber - once the inventory is gone the price is gone with it.

We are open from 10-8 today so come on in and take a test ride on that bike you always wanted!  There is a new Valpak Coupon out as well.

Don't forget we stock Assos Clothing & Accessories now.
