BicyclingHub.com Welcomes BiciRace.com

Portland, Oregon is a virtual utopia for outdoor enthusiasts so it's no surprise that BicyclingHub.com decided to set up shop in this Mecca of all things cycling.

For the past four years BicyclingHub.com has been outfitting the world's cyclists with the finest cycling apparel money can buy. So on a recent rainy March day BiciRace.com decided to go down and pay them a visit and see what they are all about.

BicyclingHub.com is strictly an online retailer so their headquarters consists of floor to ceiling shelves with the coolest Euro team clothing, as well as a lot of non-team gear. Their inventory literally runs the gamut. You can find the latest cool-blue Gerolsteiner team kit, to your favorite classic rock band jersey, to the super stylish pink Giro d'Italia replica wool jersey.

...BicyclingHub.com has the finest wool and old-school designs currently on the market.

The retro jerseys are very fashionable, even off the bike, and BicyclingHub.com has the finest wool and old-school designs currently on the market. They also offer a full line of women's clothing, with plans to further expand this category, as well adding children's clothing. Practically all cycling clothing styles on the cycling market are offered by BicyclingHub.com.

Easy Navigation and Shipping

Their website, www.BicyclingHub.com, is very easy to navigate. On the home page simply click the category of merchandise you are interested in. Then click on order to add or remove items from your shopping cart as you see fit. (We just ordered a new Liquigas and Lampre kit!)

Of course, if you prefer you can telephone the BicyclingHub.com crew directly, they are very helpful with selection and sizing. And if you ride a steel frame and like the old-school ways of business, then fax or mail your order to their Portland headquarters.

BicyclingHub's shipping, like the well-drilled Treno Milram, is very efficient. Orders usually are able to ship their orders within 24 hours of them being placed (assuming merchandise is in stock) from the Portland headquarters. Plus, order over 70$ USD worth of goodies and shipping will be free!

Only The Best Clothing

BicyclingHub.com may not have the variety of some of the larger online retailers, however, this allows them to do what they do best: stocking the finest apparel available. The primary lines they carry are Santini, De Marchi and Giordana, however, they also stock EtxeOndo and Descente, which outfit a couple of Europe's top teams. As you know, these brands are not in the business of cutting corners.

Italian Santini, for example, has manufactured 100% of their merchandise from their Almenno San Bartolomeo (Lombardia) base for the last 40 years. Pietro Santini and his family keeps all of their business local, which means they do not outsource to cheaper labor markets like Taiwan or India.

While apparel comprises the majority of their merchandise, they do also dabble in some non-clothing items. BicyclingHub.com stocks two brands of top quality tires: Veloflex and Schwalbe. You can also pick up the latest in body care and some cool DVD's. There is simply too much to list in this article, so do yourself a favor and checkout their website. Treat yourself to a cool kit. You won't be disappointed.
