Getting Settled...

Settling in to the new location is much more work than we thought. We have been waiting and dreaming about our new shop for well over a year and now that it's here we still don't know where to put everything!

So for those of you who haven't been bored to tears with endless construction stories, you might like to know that we've moved one block north to our new location at 648 Monmouth. It's on the corner of Seventh and Monmouth Streets. The new shop is spacious, bright and warm and even has a service entrance for taking your bike inside when it's wet. (Or your dog!) Of course you are always welcome through the front door where you will find an enormous rack of shiny new bicycles and even more clothes and accessories than ever before.

Come in and check out the progress as we get everything put in it's place including the new 2009 products. There's the new Michelin ProRace3 tires with an amazing new color palette, as well as some awesome new super lightweight MTB tires from Schwalbe. Try out a new 2009 BMC Trailfox or Fourstroke featuring the new Deore XT or hit the asphalt on a BMC SLC01 or SLX01 with Campagnolo 11 speed. And while you're here, visit Fusion Studio upstairs offering all the classes and training you need to reach your new years goals.

Our new shop already feels like home and the best part about our new space is the potential. This year Reser Bicycle Outfitters promises to be stocked with the most exciting cycling equipment to get you to your destination with comfort and speed on the road or on the trail. Most importantly, along with all of the hot new cycling gear, our great new space will give us the opportunity to better serve you. Our customers can look forward to shorter turn around times on our already speedy repairs along with scheduled appointments so that you don't have to be without your bike for more than a day, more weekly rides, more classes including basic road riding and commuting skills, a more comprehensive bicycle fitting program and a full fledged e-newsletter that keeps you up to date on what's happening at Reser Bicycle Outfitters and in the cycling community. And don't forget about the springtime grand opening party!

We are proud of our new bicycle shop, or at least we will be when everything finds a home! But the reality is that none of this would have been possible without you. Thank you. Thank you to everyone who ever stopped in, bought a bike, joined us on a ride, shared a favorite route, compared battle scars, helped us through our construction, picked up a paint brush and helped us move. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you in our new home.
