Getting Ready for Seattle

PJ Ramstack — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:30:00 CST

Civia is packing up and heading to Seattle for our second Seattle Bike Expo March 13th and 14th. This is our 3rd year of doing the show and I am always excited for it. We do a number of shows but this is the only consumer expo and that makes it special. It is great to hear the direct feedback and see the excitement from consumers.

On the way

Taking a look at the last post, I'm trying to figure out where the last two months went... A lot has taken place and we've got some exciting things in the works.

New T-shirts coming

We've just finalized the designs on two new t-shirts. They should be available for sale right around the first of January. Suggested retail on each style is $24. If your local bike shop doesn't stock them, just have them log onto our distributor's website (qbp.com) and order some for the floor.

Belt drive: 1,000 miles later

For the last couple months I've been commuting on Gates' Carbon Drive belt system. I've logged around 1,000 miles and am really impressed with how smooth and quiet the drivetrain is. There's no need to lube things and despite that, when you pedal it's completely silent. I'm a huge fan.

The sound of silence

I've spent the last month riding a couple belt drive bikes and I'm completely hooked. The belt is billed as a mountain and commuting product, but I really see it shining brightest in the commuting environment.

New Product Launch

PJ Ramstack — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 8:47:58 CST

I wanted to remind folks that this week is Interbike, the industry trade show in Las Vegas that is 2 days of product demo and 3 days of trade show.
It is this week that we will be launching the Bryant which you may have seen on various blogs teasing at what our next bike is to be. We will also be announcing the addition of two more bikes for the 2010 season along with additional components and accessories! Info on all of these bikes will be posted latter this week on our website so please check back for updates. Well that is all for now, I am spending today resting up before flying out tomorrow to spend the week in one of the most surreal places I have ever been to.
