Hi there. Hopefully you've survived the Mayan Apocalypse, the New Year and gotten out and enjoyed the snowfall in one way or another! Also, you have hopefully avoided riding a trainer! That in and of itself may be a fate worse than any centuries old prophecy of doom, and as such is to be avoided at all costs! Go skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or just drink beer and catch up on episodes of The Walking Dead. Whatever, anything is better than pedaling and going nowhere. Don't be a trainer Zombie! On the topic of survival we've made it through another season and we will be taking some vacation time during the month of February. We'll be closed beginning on February 3rd, and we'll be back on February 18th. 15 days is a long time to be shut down but it is winter in New England, and if not now then likely never. On the new bike front we're already pretty well loaded up with hardtail 29ers ( Flare to the Vertex 930 ) and commuters ( Metropolis LHR ) from Rocky M...

Super KHS rep Derek Griggs dropped off his personal 650 606 and we should have it in the shop until the middle of next week. Swing by and check it out and if it's nice out take it for a spin on the trails over at Lincoln Woods. The bike comes pretty decked out fresh out of the box. SLX, Hayes Hydros, Nevegals (with room to go bigger), an FSA cockpit, WYB Silverado and an X Fusion Velvet R round out the package. Having personally ridden an X Fusion last season I can say it's a pretty nice fork and works well with the 650b wheels. The bike is a medium and sports a fairly long top tube and should work for most folks somewhere between 5'7 and 5'10 tall.* * That is unless you are built like a monkey or something. In which case we can't help you, though we can sympathize with your plight.
