Brent Bookwalter Welcome Back

Help us welcome Brent Bookwalter back this Friday!

The Hub is having a special happy hour this Friday, July 30th from5-7. Brent Bookwalter of the BMC Pro Cycling Team will be here to hang out and talk about his year in Europe. Bring your congrats on the Giro and Tour results, as well as any Tour memorabilia you would like him to sign. Refreshments will be served. (We'd like to keep this event adults only, so parents please make arrangements for your children.)

Brent will also be doing a short 1.5 hour recovery ride from The Hub on Friday morning, July 30th at 10am. Come and ride with Brent while we have the chance to be able to hang onto his wheel.

Parking may get messy for these events, so help us out if you can. Bike over if that is convenient for you, or consider parking elsewhere. We don't want to inconvenience our new tenant, Jittery Joes, by taking up the whole parking lot. Hope to see you there!!

What does everyone think?

Scary and Awesome

Alan Hartman sharpening a machete....scary. But in more awesome news we have had a rocking day so far including selling a Trek 2.3 and Kathleen Miller is getting a new Madone!

A pointless update but I like Mello Yello

I will admit this is a rather pointless update but today we found a Mello Yello bottle, and since I always liked Mello Yello better than Mountain Dew I had to take a picture. I thought it was a good picture with the tree and part of the old building in the background. Unfortunately though Mountain Dew is just too EXTREME for Mello Yello.

Retro Drinking

Here is a selection of premium beverage containers that we have found in the walls of the new building. Anyone thirsty?

More on the Move

Here is a current picture of how next door looks. We have completed a good bit of demo but still have a ways to go. When we get the place all cleaned out....it will be party time!


This is a video of Bill Bray helping out with the destruction. I mentioned he should of braced it before he made the final cut but apparently that would not of been as fun. I agree. The video is a little slow at first but the climax is amazing!

Human Wrecking Crew

Mark and his buddy "Korean" Dave took matters into their own hands to break down some shelving units at the new shop. Take a look at these video's.

New Wheels, New Bike, New Shop

These are Mark's beautiful new Chris King hubs that he is going to use to build up a new set of hucking wheels. He is going to lace the hubs to a set of Sun Ringle MTX 33 rims with some stout Sapim spokes.

In the shipment from Chris King was Loehr's headset, hubs, and bottom bracket so now he has all the parts to build his new Niner Air 9. You can see the excitement on his face!

This is a interior shot of the new shop from yesterday. We have actually already put most of this trash in the dumpster but this is the most current shot we have. Stay tuned because soon we will update the blog with a video of Mark and David playing linebacker on some of the shelving units.

Three Reasons to be Happy

The Hub is going to start carrying a new product made by Concap. It is a pill that has Coffea Arabica extract. This pill is supposed to naturally increase blood flow which will bring the user multiple benefits including more energy, faster recovery, and make you happier!

The second reason to be happy, it is official we have the keys and are moving across the street! This is a shot of the interior where the new shop will be.

It is snowing in Georgia! As you can see Loehr is extremely happy.

A New Blue and the Carbon Niner

This is Patricks new Blue AC1 carbon road bike. Its a full carbon frame and fork with a force buildkit and American Classic 420 Aero wheels. This is a huge bike and it still only weighs 16lbs w/o pedals. Enjoy Patrick!

This is the new carbon bike from Niner. It can be used either as a single speed or geared and will take any type of bottom bracket you can find. Mike Stanley the Niner rep leaves it up here every now and then for customers to look at. This particuar specimen only weighs 18 Lbs!!!

The Hub in Bicycling Magazine

The Hub Bicycles has been mentioned in the latest issue of Bicycling Magazine as the shop to go to in Athens, GA.

Picture from the beautiful Watson's Mill covered bridge ride.

Our resident bomb daddy Eric "the fast nugget" Murphy set up a ride with two wonderful ladies from Bicycling Magazine that left from the shop.

They also mentioned one of our team sponsors as the place to go for good beer.

Terrapin Brewery

The article in Bicycling Magazine talks about the Athens community as a place to go for cyclists. It lists places to eat, drink, visit, etc. Go by your favorite book store and pick up a copy.

This is a great way to support you local businesses.

The Hub loves it's customers and we want to be here

for a long time so we can serve all your cycling needs.

Separated Shoulder

Well the Tuesday night MTB ride really became a lot of fun when I ran into a tree that just happened to jump out at me. After we had made a sweet fire and rode some trails and built a nice little feature to ride over it all went awry. Felling a little frisky I was following Loehr on his single speed through a trail we know very well. Loehr jumped off this root we have jumped off a billion times to clear a couple other roots. What happens next is something I can't explain. When I hit the root my bike all of a sudden wanted to turn right straight into a little innocent tree. At the last second I ducked to the right and quite possibly avoided breaking my collar bone. The tree hit my square right on the top of my shoulder and stopped me dead in my tracks. I sat there for a second in pain and was hoping nothing bad was wrong as I did not want to miss snowboarding this weekend in NC. I got up and it really hurt. I checked to make sure everything was moving and all systems were go. Got back on the bike in some pain and rode back to the fire. Mark and I just sat at the fire for a while, while the other guys went to do another lap. When they got back I said let's go I don't feel to great. Got back to the shop and painfully took off my jersey and jacket and that is when I saw how puffed up it was. Oh well no snowboarding and will probably be off the bike for about a week or two. That's what I get for riding a 6" travel bike that makes me get a little crazy.

Beautiful Fall

Check out this sweet shot I took while on a road ride this fall.

The pond is almost mirror like.
