I don't work for these guys but thought I'd pass the info on - backcountry.com/chainlove's new online retail mountain bike site launches first thing Thurs a.m: hucknroll.com
Should be interesting to see how the bike industry copes with this, heh.
Here's the mini-spiel from their press release:

Here's the mini-spiel from their press release:
HuckNroll.com is an online mountain bike shop. You heard right. Online. And we wouldnt be putting it lightly to say that the bike industry didnt want us. The consensus when we first approached suppliers about launching a high-end online mountain bike shop was, It will never work, the bike industry is different. Our response? Damn right, its different. Its the last industry in existence to accept the Internet as a viable sales channel.
Were stocking more than 6,000 products from 130 high-end bike-specific brands. We have components from Shimano, Race Face, Truvativ, Avid, Easton, and Gravity; apparel and accessories from Fox Racing, Troy Lee Designs, POC, Sombrio, Dakine, Endura, and Zoic; and complete bikes from Santa Cruz, Intense, Titus, Look and Rocky Mountain. (Were the only authorized online dealer of Rocky Mountain in the U.S.)
HucknRoll.com is staffed by mountain bike gear freaks (including that dude who rambles on about the frame geometry of the 1993 Fat Chance Yo Eddy every time he laces a wheel). Only USA Cycling race-certified bike mechanics will touch your bikes, and only fully trained customer service gearheads will take your calls and answer your live chats. Our goal is to provide, hands down, the best customer lovin in the industry.
HucknRoll is community-powered, with gear reviews, Q&A, and images all submitted by you and other riders on the site. That means you get the gods honest truth on the goods, whether the guys that make the bikes like it or not.
