Speedway Handmade Bicycle Works!



Today, Monday May 19th is the beginning of a new period in my life. I have secured a retail building that is on Main Street in Speedway Indiana. It is located 3 blocks North of Zipp Speed Weaponry and about 2 blocks South of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This new space will house four separate business entities: Speedway Handmade Bicycle Works, To the Rail!, Don Walker Cycles, and the NAHBS hq. Lots of work is to be done, including new flooring. We are planning on a mid June opening.

Speedway Handmade Bicycle Works is a full service bicycle shop offering professional fitting and handmade custom frames. Brands such as Independent Fabrication, Della Santa, Crumpton and Don Walker will start our lineup. We are currently looking to add 2 more highly sought after brands to be the first shop to offer ONLY handmade bicycles. Road, Track and Mountain bikes will be the focus of our shop. Riders are always welcome to stop in as we will have snacks and coffee/espresso/cappuccino available during regular hours.

NAHBS will have an office at this location as well, making it possible to leave our cramped home-office location and expand our service to its clientele.

To the Rail! is a track equipment store/source for the blossoming Indianapolis track and fixie scene and beyond. Since no one in town specializes in track equipment, I am filling the void for this highly specialized sport. Look for our website soon!

Don Walker Cycles is moving its manufacturing to the new location as well. We will be able to leave our cramped quarters for a roomier, more accommodating and better climate controlled shop. We will be closed during the move, but anticipate 100% production by mid June.

We hope you will be as excited to see this new shop, location and business in Speedway, Indiana!
We'll keep you informed on our Grand Opening date!

Don,
Best of luck on the new endeavor. Man, you like to keep yourself busy. Looking forward to visiting the new place when I come out in Feb for the show.
