Cool...
I've never been to the shop, I don't even know where it is, but I am now going to find out, not just to go there for deals, but because everyone that mentions the shop and the owner I always hear great things, and I will need to actually go in and check the place out before I can give referral to it.
Where is the shop?

Apparently Mike is a sick ass wheel builder...I just picked up a sticker from him with their new logo stuff so Im gonna give that a go soon. I think this is a good partnership...He's got the kind of chill and easy attitude that fits this forum.

just read it now...what do you think? I think its good for the site one way or the other, adds members, and offers a little something, the shop is small so I think Mike wants to keep the overhead low ...Im gonna hit up Black Mountain Cycles next...!!!!! hahaha. Any one want to approach UC Cyclery? although sometimes they over charge for parts..

OK so I am playing catch up w/ this. So do we get a discount at North of the Border? If so I may just order a Jabberwocky frame.

I just bought my (3rd) bike from North of the Border last Friday and now I hear about the discount. Wait, I don't think the 10 mile test ride, turn around time, price, communication, or overall experience could have been any better.

Demo Saturday at LPQ, ordered Tuesday and was able to eat shit on it Friday at 2:00 pm., 25% less than another local Ellsworth dealer, built to my liking and it came with a free bottle of chain lube.

Mike has always been very friendly, fair, and an excellent mechanic. Anything that has to do with North of the Border is good. :P :bang:

just got back from Mike's shop, if you want them they wont be out till the 15th he says, but put your order in as they are hard to come by, when I ordered my Bander I think he got like 4 in and they were gone in no time.
