Hey Steven-

We're working on so much right now, the website is among the many things that needs some serious attention. We'll be sure and update this thread as we tackle things as we prepare for our opening in March. We'll get some photos of the raw space up soon so you can see our starting point.

I can tell you that the three of us have long history working and volunteering for the non-profit and local bike shop communities in Chicago, (I'm currently a collective member and the Treasurer for The Recyclery, Bailey works at Blackstone Bikes and Johnny Sprockets, Jesse is a frame builder and has been working at Ciclo Urbano in addition to his own frame company and assisting in manufacture of Humble Frameworks frames).

More details to come as we hone our mission statement for release.

Thanks for the support and interest!
