Portland Velo Edition Velo Vie Frames!

Matt D'Elia — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:34:25 GMT

Sometimes good things come from bad situations!

As many of you know, I had an unfortunate accident during a training ride last week and ended up breaking my Team Edition 300SE along with my left collarbone. Since my collarbone has been repaired so now its time to look towards a new frame! As luck would have it Director of Velo Vie Dan Barnes dropped me a line after hearing of my accident and said he had just ordered a paint prototype done of a 300SE in Portland Velo colors (see attached mock up.) This edition would be finished in a unidirectional black carbon weave to black paint fade on the tube joins give it a nice clean finish, with PV Blue and white logos as designed by our very own Salvo!

Dan and I talked this afternoon and he currently has a number of 300SE's and 300R's in raw manufactured form. (Note: The 300R is a BB30 design.) These bikes can be made ready to ship in approximately 30 days with the new PV paint scheme on them, and would include frame, fork and headset for $1250 plus shipping.

If you are interested in getting in on this deal, please respond here or get in contact with me. We would like to get this going quickly, so act now!

Lakeside Bicycles to offer cycling clinic

Linda Jellison — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:07:07 GMT

Lakeside Bicycles in Lake Oswego has invited Portland Velo members to an evening cycling clinic entitled "Finding a path to more power and less pain".

Your comfort and power on a bike start, literally, at the feet. If your shoes are too big or too small; if your cleats aren't placed correctly fore/aft and laterally; if your insole doesn't provide enough arch support; if you don't have the proper correction for forefoot angulation; then you aren't realizing your best cycling possibilities.

Come learn the ins and outs of feet and shoes. Understand why your knees and feet give you pain. Then learn how we can give you relief and help you find more power.

On the night of November 11th, 2009 we will reveal all, explanations, demonstrations and fittings.

Time: 6:30pm (wine & cheese), 7:00pm (seminar)
Place: Lakeside Bicycles, 428 N. State St., Lake Oswego - map and directions are here.

Be there!
