2012 Is Here and so is Di-2

Happy New Years from Carmichael Cycles!

As the New Year begins, we here at Carmichael Cycles would like to thank all of you for being such great and loyal customers, readers of our blog and all around friends.  As you know we strive to bring you the best service, pricing and inventory in the Carmichael, Ca, and the greater Sacramento area, and this year we plan to bring in even more essentials for all your rides.

We will be closed for the first day of the year to spend it with friends and sports on the tele, but we will return on January, 2ed 2012 at 10:00am, for a normal day of business.

We do have some new arrivals in the shop for you to see and test ride.

We now have the 2012 Fuji Alta Mira Di2 Ultegra quipped bikes in stock and ready to ride.  This bike is loaded with coolness and built on a C4 Carbon frameset with the PIIS BB86, Oval 30 mm Aero Wheelset, and ROTOR 3D+F Crankset with a 34/50 compact double.  Weighing in at a total weight of 18 +/- pounds nothing is given up for total performance.

We also have some 2011 Fuji SL1 Pro Ultegra equipped road bikes that feature a C4 carbon frame and C-4 carbon curved stays and a FSA crankset, for incredibly fast and lightweight performance.

We hope that you all have a safe and wonderful new year. It looks like 2012 is shaping up to be a great and exciting year for all of us, and we hope that all your resolutions come to fruition.

The shop kits are in and the bike trail is looking good.

Carmichael Cycles is once again sporting colors after a 10 year hiatus, and we are back with some style and flair.  The shop had its kit unveiling last night to an enthusiastic group enjoying wine and pizza provided by Matteo’s.  The new kits made by Voler Apparel, are now available for purchase at our store located in Carmichael, California, or by contacting of us by email or phone.  For those friends of ours who have relocated, we will gladly ship to any location in the continental U.S. for about $16.00. Here is the link to Voler’s sizing chart to help you decide your fit. http://www.voler.com/help/#HelpSizingCharts .

Of course we will add more accessories, such as jackets, arm and leg warmers, hats and other items as we progress through the initial investment, but let us know what you would like, and we will keep your name on file and do all we to get it for you.
The shop design was put together by our Voler reps, Linda and John Elgart along with Steve, and is a great representative of the shop, simplistic  in design, with a black front, white back and asymmetric stripe, the jersey is easy to identify and appealing to the eye.  Also located on the back of the jersey is our store logo along with the logos of our sponsors which are positioned on the left and rear pockets.  Speaking of our sponsors; “
