QBP Minnesota trip Feb. 17-19

Well we made it back from the cold, yes 4 of your friendly CBE staff braved the cold for further knowledge of the bikes and parts you want and need. Manny David Brian and Tim all went up to QBP, one of our largest suppliers of bikes and parts, for a 3 day blitz of seminars, product review, tech classes, and even a little riding and drinking. We have all kinds of new found knowldge at your disposal, so come in and throw us your best questions. We are now carrying Salsa brand bikes and will have three models in next week, including the Dos Niner.

It got down to -15' Friday night and when we were out racing the Surly Pugsley's Saturday night it was-3'. We got to ride laps around a frozen retention pond in snow and ice and even had to eat a frozen popcicle and chug a beer during the process, all for better knowledge of the product for you our customers. So next time you come in a small thank you for braving the cold is not neccassary, but if we are to do it again next year, can I borrow your thermals?
