Goodbye GBP, Hello Damn Good Bikes!

Today is a sad day for us at the GBP. Today we officially shut our doors to the world and begin the torturourus task of moving in with our friends at Damn Good Bikes. We at the GBP would like to thank you for your patronage and invite you to visit our new shop Damn Good Bikes at 652 B Capital Circle NE. The new shop will have all the used bikes and accessories of the GBP along with a larger selection of new bikes and accessories. We will of course offer the same service and bad jokes you knew and shuttered over at the old shop.

This will also be the last posting on this blog. For updates on the new shop please change your subscription to damngoodbikes.blogspot.com.

Moving!!!

The GBP is moving on up! We've got a brand new shop and there will be parties and celebrating, and drunken monkeys. Ok, maybe just Bryan with a lampshade on his head, but still fun! To get ready for our move we're having one big sale to clean out our inventory. Because the more we sell the less we have to move! We're talking up to 25% off bikes, all small used accessories are $1, and everything in the back is up for sale. Make an offer, we might just accept!

In case you're wondering, here's a partial list of the sale items:
All complete road bikes 10% off
All complete MTBs 15% off
All complete cruisers 25% off
All used accessories (excluding bike racks) are just $1
Every incomplete bike is up for sale.

This sale is tomorrow (Saturday 5/22) only so come early to get the best selection!

Buyback Event

It's that time of year again! The GBP is having their Big Buyback Event! If you bought a bike from us or even someone else we'll buy it! Better yet, we'll buy it for 10% more than our usual rate!

Here's how it works:
If you bought your bike from the GBP:
1) Bring it in with your receipt.
2) We'll give you that price minus our $30 cost to keep the shop open*.
3) Then we'll give you 10% more (up to $30)!!!

If you bought a bike somewhere else:
1) Bring it in.
2) We figure out what we can sell it for.
3) We give you that price minus our $45 cost to tune it up and keep the shop open*.
4) Then we give you 10% more (up to $30)!!!

Not bad huh?

*If mechanical flaws are found we also subtract the cost of repair from the buyback price.

A PSA from The GBP

Attention, Attention! This is a public service announcement from the GBP. To celebrate our 1 year of existence, the GBP will be holding a grand reopening (aka big thank you BBQ) the first weekend of June (6/4/10). There will be food, contests, games and we'll even have a raffle for a very nice prize. Watch this space for more details!

Eat, Sleep, Live, Bike.

Fact: Bicycles are a food group.
Fact: Bicycles burn calories when used.
Fact: The net caloric value of a bicycle is negative.

Website stock looking thin

Don't let looks decieve you, we have lots of stock! The website has just fallen out of date a little (my bad). We also have a slew of new bikes comming in that will fill in some gaps in our lineup. The big names will be a 54cm cannondale roadbike and a large specialized MTB but we'll also have some nice hybrids and another road bike comming out soon.

Shop open, prices slashed

Read my lips, no new taxes... I mean... lower prices. Not only is April tax season, it's also bike season! To get in the spirit we're adding a $25 rebate on all bikes over $200! Come in and buy any bike $200 and up and get $25 in GBP store credit toward a future purchase!

Just think of the possibilities!
1) Some snazzy new bike duds
2) A bike rack for your car
3) A set of bike lights and a water bottle
4) 1/2 a second bike
5) 1.4 hours of service on your new bike
6) A new helmet and a aluminum water bottle
7) A bike lock and a set of trail tools

Or if you're lame you could save it and turn it in later* for something amazing that hasn’t come in yet.

*Credit valid trough 5/22.
