We are moving off of Platte Street in July of 2012 to 3800 Irving Street.

View Larger Map

We knew that Platte was a good location when we saw it. It was right off the bike path and just the right size to do some great things. Then we started to get busier and busier. The great things we intended to do got moved to the back burner, then disappeared. We had great ideas that we simply didn’t have room to do.

AND NOW WE WILL HAVE THE ROOM

We are moving to a place that will allow us to hold workshops, host parties and get you all around inspired. Our customers have told us ideas they have had about what we could do to make your bike life better. And now, we are moving forward on many of these suggestions.

TIMING

HELP US OUT

1. If you get on the news for any reason, yell that Salvagetti is moving!
2. When the waiter asks if you need anything else, tell them that Salvagetti is moving!
3. Change your email signature to say that Salvagetti is moving.

We are sure you can be creative and find a new and different way to tell everyone in Denver, and we would love for you to do it.

The crazy sexy 6.3″ travel Knolly Chilcotin has finally arrived at Salvagetti. We are excited to get one of these out on the trail to see how great they really are.

Official Knolly Chilcotin page here.

8 is GREAT

We are turning 8 years old this month. To celebrate, we are having a party. It will be fun, fast and furious.

The party is happening at 6pm on April 20th, which is a Friday. We will provide beer and prizes from the likes of Surly, Santa Cruz and Salvagetti. You will provide smiles, high fives and perhaps some surprises. Please bring a friend.

Mountain Bikes

Mountain bikes are flying off the shelves at Salvagetti these days. We are excited to offer the best lineup of bikes we have ever offered. These bikes are perfect for the Front Range: Stable at high speeds and easy to climb. No matter what your price range, we have a great trail bike to suit your needs.
Some of our favorites are the Kona Honzo and the all new Santa Cruz Tallboy LT. We are also expecting a few Pivot bikes to show up here in the next few weeks (finally). Speaking of Pivot…

Pivot Demo

We have scheduled a demo with Pivot Bikes for June 30th. Details are still blurry, but if you are considering buying one of these trail bikes, we will help make everything very clear to you. The bikes we know you will love will be the Mach 429 and the Mach 5.7. Which one you buy is, of course, up to you.

WHY?
We realize getting all the way across town is sometimes really difficult, especially when your bike is your favorite (primary) mode of transport.
Let’s be honest: Riding with a flat tire is for jerks.

WHERE/WHEN?
So here we are at 8 W. Ellsworth in Baker (turn West at the corner of Broadway and Ellworth) to get your bike up and running again. We are open 5 days a week, closed Tuesday and Wednesday. We hope to be open 7 days a week as the summer hits.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Salvagetti Annex is supplying you with tubes, lights, locks, tires and on and on. The stuff you need to keep your bike, keep it running, not get tickets and to have a good time. We offer quick, preferably while you wait, service for your bike. And, of course, we are going to be nice to you.

The Thrillist covered our tiny story, here.

WE AREN’T CARRYING BIKES, JUST BIKE
We are carrying the All City Nature Boy. It is the middle finger of all bikes.

He asks for this bike.

But he wants these bars.

And it ends up looking this hot.

Damn!

You: “Well, maybe. Wanna ride into work on your bike?”

Come to Salvagetti on Saturday, December 17th at 4pm to find out more about joining our 2012 Bicycle Commuter Team.

THE BEST STUFF TO RIDE ON EARTH

Pro level $hit (Think Kona, Brooks, Surly, Mission Workshop, Chrome, Swrve). You want to get suited up like a high level athlete? Nah, but you want to be comfortable and happy, right? We are going to do our best to make it easy to ride through the winter. Bikes, gear, lights and advice will be on the deal list for signing up.

And then there is the AGREEMENT

Gotta work for this.
By agreeing to be on this 2012 You Are Crazy to Commute Through Winter Team, you are promising to get someone to ride with you at least 3 times before our “season” is over. That means, you are going to move someone so much with words and actions that they will commute by bike 3 total times before the end of March. Sounds easy, but it ain’t. It ain’t easy at all, you will see. Oh yeah, you (since you are crazy) will commute at least 50% of trips through the end of March. It isn’t that many days. And Denver isn’t that bad to ride in, even when it isn’t.

IS IT FOR YOU?

It might be. Try something new. Talk your friends into it.

Hey guys, I’m happy to report that the bike finally arrived yesterday. Our mail system has been incredibly slow this year and I just got packages I’d sent to myself in September. I put the bike together and took it out for a test ride for a few miles, I have a few pictures, but since I was out by myself there are no action shots. I’ll get a friend to snap some more. The bike works really well in the snow up here and so far I’m pretty impressed with how easy it is to get around, especially on the lightly packed snow. It sinks in a bit in the really loose stuff, but is managable.

Thanks for all you guys went through in getting this bike down here, this is turning out to be a great alternative to cross coutnry skis, really fun to ride, and everyone here wants to give it a spin. More later.

AND A FEW DAYS LATER
We had the annual “race around the world” here at south pole. A friend and avid cyclist was really jonesing to ride the pugsley and I was content running, but we got some good pictures of the bike in action. It was a pretty crappy day, the bike paced the top runners through some terrible conditions and after the race several people took turns on it. I think the conditions made for some pretty cool pictures, figured it was time you guys got some action shots.
