Consignment

Hi! We're stoked you're interested in consigning your bike with us, but there are a few things you should know before you bring it in:

Our Values
We believe in keeping good bikes on the road and in use!  Our consignment program is not intended to maximize profit—for you or us, that's why we do it the hard way. We believe that having fully serviced used bikes available at fair prices is a service to the community, and we earn an honest dollar by doing it.

    Important Notes:

  • When you first bring your item in for consignment we will evaluate it, determine if it's something we wish to accept, if it requires repairs, and its value.
  • All Mountain Bikes will go through an additional mechanical evaluation
  • CLEAN items in good mechanical condition often get the best value!
