Hello guys,

On November 15, we will be closing shop for good. :(

We have not had any commercial work for a bit over a year. I have been keeping the shop open with my savings.

Karen and I thank all of you who have supported our efforts.

We have talked to so many really nice people over the past year and a half. I don't want to quit, but I can't afford a 20K per year hobby shop.

Final orders will be accepted until November 2 for The sprocket adapters and sprockets only.

Jim

Pirate cycles started buying our stuff last spring...it takes a bit to get started, and Pirate is now doing very well with the sales of our products.

Justin has the capital to buy in quantity, so it works great for everyone. I get to run production, the customer get's instant gratification, and Justin makes a profit for orchestrating the whole thing. It is truly a win-win for everyone!

Karen and I fully expect to make it through another year :)

Thank you for all your work Jim.

You products will be surely missed!

p.s. Ever think about selling your designs to another company?
 
That's very unfortunate that you have to close your shop, but you know what they say, "when one door closes another door opens", I hope this is true for you and that new things will come your way and that you will be successful in them. You have always been patient and never considered yourself too ranked to converse with amateurs like myself, I'm sure your proficiency in working with others will be recognized and respected in whatever field you choose to apply yourself.

Good luck.
 
Sorry to hear this ,You do great work ,as luck would have it I just ordered two sprockets and adaptors, one thru Pirate Cycles and found out today that Rock Solid Engines here in Aus have them, so Im very pleased I got to find out about your excellent parts .
 
We're not loosing a parts supplier - an artist is retiring. Our hobby is lessened for it.

Jim - I hope you'll get some time to just kick back and enjoy yourself!

Ride on man :)
 
Wow, very sad news. From all of us as Sick Bike Parts we wish you the best and hope you land in a spot that will allow you to continue your hobby. Thanks for your help.
 
Thats a bummer Jim, you do good work and will be missed, hope you stick around the forum cause your a smart dude and im sure you will do fine where ever your life takes you next. Good Luck!!
 
Jim, I still need a 34 tooth sprocket. I have left messages on your phone and sent and email. I am the one that got 32 tooths and should have gotten 34 tooths, you send you would send out the 34 tooths. At this point I only need one 34 tooth sprocket and I will pay for it if I have too!

I just need it, please pm or email.

Thanks,
Matt
