We also got in some decent, fairly inexpensive black stainless steel spokes, for those of you who have been breaking black primo spokes but don't want to shell out the bucks for DT's...

maulsbikeshop.com

Not much going on around here as far as new stuff lately... I've been working on a real website for the shop... right now I just have an "under construction" page, but if you're interested it's at www.maulsbikeshop.com. I've been working on it pretty steadily, when we actually "go live" with it I will let you know here. Hopefully it will be better looking and more interesting than my "under construction" page. No promises.

Macniel Light bars are coming in next week, in both 5 and 14 degree, in black...

Just watched the 1134:Operation Enduring BMX DVD... if you like violence, war footage, dead people, car and plane crashes, political propaganda, drugs, swearing, and some pretty sick bike riding, then this vid is for you. 18 and over only, please.

Talked to Ox today for a minute... for those of you wondering, he is healing up well...

That's all for today...

MASSIVE SHOE SALE

Happy new year, everyone...

We're having a big shoe sale the whole month of January... buy one pair of Etnies, Orchid, Lotek, or Inopia shoes at regular price, get another pair of equal or lesser value for 1/2 off, even if it's already on sale... this could save you up to 85 bucks in the most extreme of instances... sale is for shoes that are currently in stock, while supplies last... we have a ton of stuff in stock, but they'll probably go fast...

In other news, if you are in the shop getting some new shoes and find something chewing on your old ones, it's probably Madison, my girlfriend and I's border collie puppy... I know, I know: awwwwwwwwwwwww...
