MTB Shed Live

We are no longer a Trek Dealer (they are shady) and have moved to an awesome company with Jamis Bikes thats far friendly to small business. Support the podcast at www.MTBshed.com This week Ryan joins us to discuss this cross country carbon race machine a customer purchased at Trekbikes.com and had shipped to the Shed. We love when customers take advantage of this route to get their new bike. If you have not owned a Trek Bike previously then stop by the shop to get properly fitted before ordering (a Jamis Bike). 30 Day Fit Guarantee means you can bring a Trek Bike back within 30 days to exchange it for another bike or different size if you figure it out after a few rides then Trek makes the dealer eat the cost and keep the bike (again shady). We are happy to get it turned around and get the right bike back between your knees! Shop all your bike needs at www.MTBshed.com and subscribe.
