It seems in between selling bikes and keeping the store fresh that our web page sometimes lacks the updating that it needs. Do not fret, we are working on something new to be launched later this Winter. But in the mean time you should be checking out our Facebook page. We update it almost daily and have some crazy specials that are only posted there.

Ever wonder what kind of bikes our staff ride? Yeah I though you did. Here is the first installment of our staff bike profiles.

Stephen Cooley has been working at The Bike Doctor for years, but has higher aspirations. When he is not working at the shop, or reading Pynchon, he might be found riding his 2010 Norco Faze SL. Although it may not be visible in the photo, Stephen got rid of the XTR shifters on the bike and replaced them with Grip Shift. Weird to say the least.

Cobb Cycling Saddles for Triathlon, TT’s, Road and Off-Road

We have a complete set of Cobb Saddles for you to try. If you have ANY issues with your present saddle or want to experience a more comfortable ride, try a Cobb saddle for ultimate comfort and performance.

The newest addition to the Cobb Cycling lineup, the SHC 170 was designed for riders looking for a narrow nose width while still having long distance comfort. We combined our specially engineered, moldable base section with our thinnest memory foam to give you a light weight saddle that has great comfort. There is a strategically placed cutout to help with numbness and nerve pressure, along with Titanium seat rails for lighter weight. The nose measures just 38mm and then tapers back to our 130mm rear section. Even big guy’s at 250+ lbs. find this comfortable so don’t be afraid to go narrow, it’s the shape of the seat top surface that gives comfort. The SHC 170 saddle weighs 202gr. and is available in either Black or White with opposing color trim. Priced from 149.95 to $199.95
