Blacktop Cyclery’s Shop Opens!

Our grand opening, on Sat. Dec 3rd was a success and we want to thank everyone who visited, or wanted to but couldn’t. Blacktop Cyclery is now officially open for business at 612 18th St in beautiful Downtown Bakersfield.

First off I want to thank my family, friends, new and old, and all the local cyclists who made Saturday a success. My friend Daniel Sikola, and the great guys at Bike Bakersfield, Zac Griffin and Brad Swanlund, did a phenomenal job of getting the word out about our opening. It took a lot of work to get to this point, and I owe a lot to those who helped with all the dirty labor, David Taylor, Chris Rigby, Patty Smale, Joseph Dean and Donna Rodriguez. Last, but by far not least, a big thank you goes out to my beautiful wife, Molly, and the rest of my family who have supported this endeavor, and I am forever grateful.

Now on to news of the shop;

We currently have two lines of bikes available to out customers physically in the shop, Linus and Sun Cruisers. As always, we still sell the whole Soma line, stocking some of the Fixed/SS frames, as well as Pake and Velo Orange. We recently also became an authorized dealer for Jamis Bicycles, which we will be going into more detail with later.

For your racing needs we can order any of the 2012 line of Argon 18.

For the BMX fans, we recently became an authorized dealer of Verde and Cult bikes, which we hope to have in the shop soon. We also have available FBM, which should be available in the spring of 2012.

Blacktop Cyclery doesn’t want to stop there. We want to know what you, our customers, want us to have on hand or to have access to.  You, our customers and friends, are the reason we exist, and we want to continue to serve you. So let us know, either at our website, or at Facebook or twitter. We are listening.

Thanks again everyone!
