Rise Above!
Tom Bowie (Deep Six Cycles)
Here we are time for another update on the happenings at Deep Six Cycles. First of all we would really like to thank everyone who has helped with the raffle. We have been selling far more raffle tickets online and that means the folks who we interact with on Instagram/Facebook (& other social media), those that follow the blog and receive our news letter and everyone we are connected to on the forums are chipping in and helping by buying raffle tickets. You guys are really helping to make this thing a success!
We are still working on finishing up the raffle bike with the East End crew. The tins are off to Butt's Chop Shop to be painted. And I have received a few sneak peek shots so maybe I will share one... This is not even close to finished. It has no clear so it will really have some depth when it is done. But now you can get all excited about how cool this bike is going to be with this bad assed paint job donated by Butt's Chop Shop.
We have moved the Deep 6/ East End show room around at the shop and have an entirely new lay out! I am really excited to announce we have all but shut down our old web store and from now on all our online sales will be through the website only. He only have a few more items to add. Though I think we will be working on and refining the site for a long time to come...
We have brought back the Flying Girder tee shirts. This classic logo has not been available on shirts in many years except for a few attempts to have them made with a pre-order system through some strange and confusing online company (which actually worked fine). This time around we have had them printed locally on 100% cotton shirts. The local company is a new start up who have replaced another print shop down town. It just so happens to be owned and run by a great crew of people we happen to be connected to. I am really pleased with the extremely quick turn around time and very professional manner in which my order was handled. Check out Lightning Bolt Ink in Asheville, NC if you need some thing printed.
All the work moving the shop around has me a little behind on a few orders. I should be catching up around the middle to end of next week. Thanks to every one who has placed orders with us. We do have a lot of product in inventory and ready to go. If you have not heard the news we have added Twin Cam points covers to the product line and have plenty Twin Cam and Non-Twin Cam points covers in stock and ready to go both in aluminum and brass.
We are really hoping to settle into this new website and make it a way to share what we are doing, who we are and what we are about. That in my mind is a big reason to try to keep the blog up to date. But we also have a gallery section that includes pictures of our customers bikes featuring our products (thanks to every one who has sent us photos!), a photo feed from our instagram, YouTube Videos made by us, and of course a photo gallery with some of our best shots. You can check it out by hitting the button below! Please keep in mind setting this website up and keeping it up to date is 100% handled in house and one more thing to juggle. So it tends to be a work in progress...
And how about a sample of how the Intagram feed works?
And how about this oldie for some motivation! Get out there, rise above, make that bike rad and ride the wheels off it!
