Yah, I think I will be getting an Intense Podium Cruiser soon to due to being Sponsored by ASI now. They are taking great care of my whole Team. The Giant 24" is not really a race bike.

I do all my bike repairs at work and I get to drink there too! It's nice owning your own shop. The 'fridge is always stocked with a tasty beverage of the alcoholic persuasion for the loyal customers, my partner and myself. Of course I only drink after 4 on Saturdays as working and helping customers while drinking is a very bad combination.
Thats rad, and I hear ya. My shop is on the conservative side, that definitely wouldn't fly there. Even tips of beer are a no go with my shop/customer base. Its brutal.
Many of our customers bring in 6-packs all the time to "replenish the stock". Of course they are kind enough to either bring Sparks or good beer, none of that Bud Light junk. I went and looked at a new building for the shop today that is a bit bigger and would allow for a much larger TV than what we have now in addition to a full size couch. I'll get pics up if/when we move.
Sweet dude, glad to hear somebody is managing to expand in the current "nobody wants to buy a bike" phase the economy is going through! Good for you guys
his shop is way to conservative, over on the other side of town we get beer for tips, but i still like our garage, much better.
I've got a small room in my house devoted to bikes for my roommate and I. It's not much, but it holds our bikes and still leaves enough room for wrenching.
^^^^^^ that is soooo badass
That's a kick-ass idea for a hood ornament, I wonder why I never thought of that before. Pretty cool.
you should put it on your Phord
Here's mine. I copied the main bike rack hanger design from Northshore racks. The weather has sucked lately so I've been doing extra work in the garage. There should be a 12x36 metal lathe in here soon. I also have a tig welder but that's at my other shop.
heres mine...garage is a big mess. im in the middle of getting organizized, as you can see from the first pic
Love it!My "workshop" dorm room with 3 bikes
ahh the college days.
Finally moved in a bit more.
Heres my shop/strategy room for this year. Im in the middle of about 5 bike projects at once hence the half assembled bikes.
Tool/light wall
(notice those fancy schmancy decline tire cutting shears!)
Work area, 303 in about 303 pieces, disassembled 40 etc, wheels waiting for stans, CR goodies.
The office side of things
The strategy side of things
Tire/wheel closet missing about 3 new pairs
Just scored this bad boy of Craigslist for a cool $45.
