We are still finishing up our outside presence and getting the interior dialed in, so pardon our work in progress. In the age of internet sales and direct to consumer companies we are striving to offer something different in a bike shop. For those who appreciate a more personal experience and enjoy the sense of community, this shop is for you. Philip has created some what of a “home for our bike family”. Thinking of every aspect of the build out. for the maximum customer enjoyment inside the shop off the bike…as we enjoy being on our bikes outside. We look forward to seeing you

Bike of the Month Novemeber 2013
Yes, there are two bikes here, two owners, who have been married for 25 years. When they came to me they explained wanted new bikes for their 25th wedding anniversary. Of course I could not agree more! Their first request was comfort. Their second request was.....COMFORT. Then the rest like, light weight, cool parts, pretty paint and all that good stuff. Of course like every custom bike at Shama Cycles we started off on the Dynamic Fit Unit with Retul and Spin Scan to find their best positions for comfort, power, comfort, sustainability, and....COMFORT! haha

Jeff and Kelly Grant. Both Kelly and Jeff were new to racing at the beginning of the year and friends of the original Shama road racer Steve Quick.

Well, the results came one after the other.

Tour de Gruene is a fun weekend of riding and some time trials that are not sanctioned races but have had the likes of Lance Armstrong and Eddy Merckx racing the two man team time trial on Sunday in previous years; and many of the regulars enjoying the Wurstfest on Saturday night then trying to TT Sunday morning. The town is beautiful and the support of the locals is amazing...then there is the scenery...racing along River Road is the best.
Read MoreWhat's New? Look Power Pedals
Look is the first to the market with a power meter in the pedal. While there are power meters in the rear wheel hub and in the cranks, they each have their own pros and cons depending on the athlete and needs. What the pedal option offers is the ability to swap the pedals between any bike you own regardless of crank, gearing, or wheels. Also unique to this option is the right and left power readings.
