FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Our final day is September 30th, which means between now and then we need as much of this stuff gone as possible! Please help us with that! Everything is now priced to MOVE. Please come in this weekend, hang out, reminisce and drink a beer. Now for the sappy part. We are so grateful that you guys allowed us to live our dream for the last 2 and a half years. It has been such an amazing wild ride. We have met so many people we have become so close with. We went to weddings. We saw babies born. We saw national champions crowned. We saw amazing groups of people do amazing things. It has felt so special that we have gotten to be a part of that. We love all of you so much. This is not goodbye forever, this is see you later. You can't get rid of us. We love you so much The Switchback Velo Crew

UPDATE: PLEASE SHARE We are now moving into phase 2, and with that comes some more concrete dates and bullet points 1) starting now, we are running a BIG sale.(Between 30 and 40% off) In stock we have a whole host of parts, apparel, and cleaning supplies. That stuff all has to go! And we need you guys to help it go somewhere! 2) We are hosting an INDUSTRY DAY/WORKSHOP DAY the 28th and 29th of THIS MONTH. During that time we will be selling off tools, benches, stands and the highly coveted mini fridges. Please tag your favorite shop down below, so they can see that we have a whole host of tools for a smoking deal. 3) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not dally. Getting stuff sold is time sensitive, and the sooner you come by the better. Help us all sleep easy at night. 4) maybe once this is all done let's all grab some food or something IDK. After closing, there will be a final So Long SBV ride. Details on that to come. 5) the final day to drop of service for real service will be the 25th. The 26th and 27th will be all quick walk in service.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING This was never a post we wanted to make, but we are beginning the process of closing our doors. After 2 years, we have made the hard decision to close up shop. To say we are grateful for everyone who came in, bought something, trusted us to build a bike, rode with us, sat on our couches and allowed us to be your 3rd place, would be an understatement. While the last 2 years have been challenging, we have loved every minute of it. We leave with with our heads held high. Now for the practical stuff. We do not have a final close date, but effective immediately we are beginning to liquidate inventory. If something has caught your eye, come make me an offer on it, but we are doing a blanket 20% off everything in the shop. If you have an outstanding order with us, or a bike of yours is in the shop right now, we will complete and honor that order, even if it has to be completed and dropped off to you after our doors have closed. We will be continuing to work on projects until we are closed, and if there is short term work that needs to be done, we are happy to do it. Once the shop closes, Max, Matt and Corey will continue to operate independently outside of the shop. If you are looking for mechanic work to be done, please reach out to those two. You can contact them on their work pages at @sd_velo_mechanix_sc and @krispyvelo If you are looking for bike fitting or coaching, reach out to Max @crowdxkill We are infinitely grateful for all of you. We love you guys so much. This Wednesday will be our last Wednesday ride, and this Sunday will be the final Sunday ride. We would love to see you guys there. There are plans to do a goodbye ride, but we don't have plans for it yet. We will continue to update every couple of days. Signing off - The SBV crew

The KOM hunter kit has arrived. Even though we brought a bunch of stock in, before we even made this post we have been blowing through it. Swing by. Try some on. Be seen. . . . . #heavypedal #roadbike #cycling #cyclingkitfit

I mean... can you go wrong with a set of @dtswiss wheels and a @sramroad Red groupset on a @rittecycles ? Because we don't think so. Thank you @milesdmelamed for the trust on this one! . . . #roadbikes #roadcycling #ritte #esprit

We really don't talk enough about the fact that we are @envecomposites dealers. Here is a reminder that we can build you a really cool Fray, that even Basil will approve of. Swipe through for the split . . . #enve #envefray #fray #cycling #roadbike #gravelbike

I think our favorite thing is seeing bikes we've built being raced. That's what race bikes are for. Here is a super rad, blacked out @veloflyerbicycles (who we love working with)we built for @johnburrowsracing Obviously some @velobike.co.nz and @zippspeed goodies. But everything from this bike can be found right here at Switchback. . . . #cycling #bikes #fixie #malemodel #veloflyer #velobike

You have probably noticed that you haven't seen much of @krispyvelo and @crowdxkill around the shop recently. Well that's because they have spent the last weekend cosplaying as Mr. T and picking up some serious neckwear at @usacycling Track Nationals. @krispyc0rey came home with 4 bronze medals (kilo,TS,TP, Keirin) , and Max came home with a bronze and a silver and a very hard fought 5th (IP and TP). So next time you see these two, ask them for their best "I pity the fool". All jokes aside, we are so proud of these two, and the whole @wlrtrack squad, who we are happy to support. . . . #cycling #roadbikes #trackbikes #timetrial
