Not much has happened in the shop this past week as both families, Jon & Alyssa and Tim & Misty, spent the week moving out of our house and into temporary digs; we hope to find a new home soon. (Hey, what’s a little more stress added to our lives before the shop opens?!) We have made some progress in the shop clearing out a lot of garbage and now it looks like we can start getting in some contractors to do some of the more serious work.
We have also started lining up our distributors and suppliers and we have placed our first order for bikes.
As a first glimpse into our line up, we would like to introduce you to the BUB (Batavus Utility Bike). We are very excited about this bike and can’t wait for it to arrive. The BUB is a modern and lighter version of the classic Dutch bike with some added Danish design flair; the design concept is based on an unfolding paper clip.
Batavus designed this masterpiece based on their expertise in city bikes and they have a reputation of producing high quality bikes. Tim and Jon got to test ride a prototype of the BUB at Interbike this past September – it was a real pleasure. This bike is smooth and comfortable, but way faster and more responsive than a big lazy cruiser.
You can have a closer look at the BUB, in either the basic model or the deluxe XC model, as a classic frame or a step-through. As this is a brand new bike, we’re certainly excited about it. But really, we want to know what you think, so leave a comment. If you have questions about it, we’ll do our best to answer them.
