New Sign and a New Bike

We finally got a sign after 5 years in business, courtesy of Britt Lawson, who freehand drew the letters and then cut 3/16" plywood out with a scrollsaw. So now you can find us easier when cruising down Forbes Avenue. Thanks Britt!

In front of our new sign is our newest bike, a 1967 Suzuki K15P, also known as the "Hillbilly" - a street/trail that was their rival to the hugely popular Honda CT90. The big difference is that this one is 80cc and a two-stroke, and has two different sprockets in the back, the idea being that you could have one chain on the small sprocket for street riding, and then swap it out for a longer chain on the rear sprocket for trail riding. It's a super fun little ripper, with supposedly a top speed of 55. And of course, it's for sale. So get in touch if it strikes your fancy.

Ben, who setup our Instagram, has also been taking photos for our new ebay store, which you can find here: http://stores.ebay.com/slagheapcycles

Honestly, Ebay are a pretty awful company - but they're the only game in town when it comes to selling used parts online, and they know it. So, it looks like they'll be taking at least a 10% cut of anything we sell on their site...then Paypal gets their cut, but at least we can feel good that we're helping to keep the Post Office in business.

The good news is that starting our ebay store has also forced us to organize the chaos that was our inventory of used parts. Now we actually kinda know what we have in all these boxes! So, if you see something you like, get in touch through phone or email for better prices! Cut out the middleman!
