March Mustache Madness

Some people think that March Madness is for college hoops, well guess again. At GBS this March is Mustache Madness.

Here’s the deal, if you think you can end up with a “cookie duster” better than anyone in the shop by the end of March, then you win the Super Secret prize. The Super Secret prize will be announced mid month and trust us, it will be well worth it.

So whoever you need to get your inspiration from, get to it and get that “lip warmer” going!



Remember you must have a real mustache!

Ladies, since this contest tends to favor the gents next month will be a women’s specific event.

Frostbike 2010

What do bike nerds do when it’s snowing outside? Go to Minneapolis to Frost Bike of course! This year a small contingent of GBS folks, ok just Adam and Mike, rallied up to the Great White North to see what sweet new gear that QBP has in store for all of us. The debut of the new Salsa line was one of the major highlights.





















(welcome to the jungle baby!)

However, nothing makes a bike geeks heart go pitter-patter more than several hundred thousand square feet of bike parts.
