This building was an antique mall for 30 years so it has little display area’s for the different antique vendors. There was a lot of demo that we had to do and while it was hard work I’d lie if I didn’t say it was fun at the same time. Bike mechanic’s building their perfect shop in which to spend their days (and nights). As with most things we do at our store we do it to please ourselves and inevitably our customers end up loving it too because it shows personality, originality and a thought out approach to a bike shop. Every day we come up with a new great idea and go for it so we don’t have a master plan by any means. As of right now we have our cafe area and repair area pretty much completed and now I’m setting to build out the bar. It’s slow going because we aren’t professionals but at the same time we are doing it right. We have removed the ceiling to expose the 7 foot higher bow truss wood beams, stripped the flooring down to the baseboards and got new paint. Oh, and we have a castle draw bridge from a neat old castle that was once here in Portland. Fun little bit of local history there which will become a stage for bands when the draw bridge is down. We have met some really great portlanders who love to volunteer their time or skills to help out and not to mention offer pieces from an old castle. I don’t have a date yet but soon enough we will let everybody know about our grand opening party. We have some big things planned for this party and we hope that you all stay tuned.
