Last month we had a chance to preview the new 1400 square meter space of RBK - RulloBike.com in Como (Lombardia) and it was truly impressive. Shop co-owners, Brent Copeland and Simone Frontini, put together one heck of a space in an impressively short time. The new space was clean and festive when BiciRace.com visited just prior to the Christmas shopping rush. [read: RBK - RulloBike.com ... Como and the World, 5 December]
The boys at RBK have something else new up their sleeve! We talked with Brent just the other day and he explained a new plan where they are giving away money. OK, it is not exactly money, but it is credit at one of the coolest bike shops around. BiciRace.com immediately caught on to the genius behind their plan: to give their customers a big "Grazie" for their purchases and incentive to return to RBK. (Visit RBK - RulloBike.com)
RBK - RulloBike.com has all of the juicy details, but here is the gist: If you purchase any gear, from white Cinelli bar tape to a red Wilier carbon frame, you will receive a percentage of credit that you can use towards your next purchase. Just to reward you for buying big, they will give you a greater percentage as you spend more (ranging from 2 to 6% credit). The credit is available for future purchase within a two month time frame.
What does that mean to you? If you buy a new Wilier Le Roi for €2,200.00 this month then you will receive a credit of €110.00 which you can use starting the next month, for up to 60 days. Not bad! That means that you could turn around and buy that new set of Mavic Ksyrium ES wheels with an enormous credit.
If you are in Como please stop by and visit, directions to the store are located on the RBK - RulloBike.com website. If you are nowhere near bella Italia then just visit the website. Send Brent an email with any questions you have, he will be happy to help you.
[PS: You have to be registered in order to apply for the credit, but to register is as easy as clicking on two links. Start here to register and then you will receive an email with your username and password. Afterward you will be able to login by clicking on the "User Area" found on the bottom right hand side of RBK's website.]
