Making it easy...
Q: So let's say you run a bike shop and you've got all these bikes to sell. Let's also say that you've got even more product coming in this week and are beginning to run out of floor space. How do you solve this problem?
A: Give shit away!
Yep, Damn Good Bikes is giving away $50 of merchandise for every bike $399.99 and up purchased. That $50 could mean alot of awesome things...
-5 Damn Good Shirts
-A jersey and pair of riding shorts
-About a dozen water bottles
-A new set of pedals and some riding gloves
-A helmet and a bike pump
-A bike rack to transport your new bike
-Something else so awesome my mind can't comprehend it!
Oh, and there will be some new merch in the shop too...
We're getting some new bike pumps, tires, gloves and other stuff to make riding more fun!
Also, if you're wondering where the new "Product" is coming from? Well we've become an authorized dealer for Torker! What does that mean? Well, it means we will be carrying Torker's full line of hybrid and city bikes! Why is this special? Well, mostly because Torker makes the U-District single speed/fixie road bike! The U-District is a value bike of the highest quality. I dare say it's a Damn Good Bike!

More new stuff...
If you haven't recognized the theme of these posts yet, well, shame on you! Here's another of the ubiquitous posts about what we got form the Santa in a brown suit (read: UPS Guy).
-Crankbrothers EggBeater 1 MTB pedals
-Crankbrothers single sided MTB pedals
-Powerstrap pedals
-Frame pumps (you're welcome Bryan!)
On a different note, the shop will be closed this Sunday 7/25 so that we can do things that normal people do for once! Damn Good Bikes will be open normal hours otherwise.
Also, I just want to remind everyone that we'll be having our Beginning Biking class on July 31st at 7:30pm. The class is free for anyone who purchased a new bike from us and $10 for the general public.

Making the rounds...
Wow, after that news brief from Wednesday I'm just excited about the weekend! Yes, it's true we got a lot of new stock in this week, but that's only part of the story! We also got in a whole mess of new used bikes and some parts to fix some old ones! Here's a preview of what's coming up!
We've got 4 road bikes nearing completion. There's a 56cm Peugeot, a 50cm Gigante mixie, a amazing 70s Raleigh, and a mustachioed free spirit.
We also have a few regular bikes like a nice diamondback MTB and a single speed old school cruiser (read: comfort bike) just waiting for some parts.
But all those pale in comparison to an amazing trike that we're prepping for paint. This baby is a week or two off but when she's done she'll be amazing! Plus, if you buy early you can have your pick of paint colors!
Also, I thought you might want a more complete rundown of the new accessories...
Wald Front Baskets
KHS Water Bottles
Cat Eye Spot Lights
XLC Light/computer combo set
Planet Bike computers
XLC MTB clipless pedals
XLC Road clip pedals
Redline alloy platform pedals
A whole mess of different bags
Panniers
Pink camo handle bar tape
Road tires in various sizes
...and more!

Dateline Tallahassee...
Top Story:
Bicycle Shop discovers market for new items and quickly places them for sale.
Damn Good Bikes in Tallahassee Florida is a new shop. While smaller than some of the more established shops the owner, known only as "Mike", tries to provide "Damn Good Bikes at a Damn Good Price."
This week his philosophy changed, hopefully for the better. Instead of providing Damn Good Bikes for a damn good price, his shop will now carry other items of interest to bikers, items like bags, pedals, tires, and bicycle computers.
"Through extensive research and a very costly survey process we have learned the bike riders like to have tires on their bikes and that they like to be able to propel their bikes using their feet." Mike said "It sounds kinda weird but that's what the research shows."
The study also found that people like to take small items with them on bike rides and that they liked knowing how far they've gone. Both results were revelations to Mike, a long time bike enthusiast and first time rider.
"I was stunned. Who would have thunk? It's like people wanted to actually use their bikes and not just carry them around with them. That's why I changed the shop's philosophy. We now provide damn good bikes and accessories at a damn good price."
While the new motto may be somewhat more unwieldy than the old one, those visiting the shop were quick to embrace it. "I think it's awesome!" mechanic Austin Boyle said, "It's like he took the old motto and made it better. I did the same thing with a pair of socks once. The old pair was just white and I drew a star on each one. I think the star made me go faster." [To read the complete 10 page interview with Mr. Boyle please visit his website].
Others weren't too happy with the change. "WTF, now I have to talk to people about all these little things too? I didn't sign up for this!" said long time motivational speaker and webmaster Bryan Webster. "It's a good thing Mike doubled my speaking fee last week or I'd so be out of here!"
If you're interested in viewing the new items, Damn Good Bikes is located at 652 Capital Circle NE across from the Women's Prison and will be open this Saturday between 12pm and 7pm and this Sunday between 10am and 4pm. Reservations are not required but bringing friends who like bikes too is strongly recommended.

Yea... so...
It's been a whole 2 weeks since the last post. Sorry. The whole trying to run a new business where major bike assembly is necessary kinda take up a lot of time... However, assembling new bikes also means there are NEW bikes in the shop! We've added two new models to our lineup and filled in the gaps our grand opening sale left.
Some info on the new bikes:
First off, we've been trying to get in some more Flite 220s since forever with little luck. Fortunately we managed to get our hands on 5, the very last 5, of the 2010 model year! We currently have one in shop (47cm men's model) and will have more next week.
Second, we've begun to carry an entry level mountain bike below our Alight 150 series, the Alite 100. What's the difference? Well, the 100 series is just slightly heavier and only has front disk breaks. Oh, and it's also $75 less than the 150 in store.
Just in case you care...
Current new bike lines in shop:
Alite 100
Alite 150
Alite 1000
Urban X
Urban X-cape
Urban Uno
Flite 220
Coming Soon... Bikes on order
Alite 500
Flite 300
Diamondback comfort bikes (one off closeout)
