>> INVENTORY LEVELS GOING BACK UP!
The year has been great so far, with many new Niner riders excited about getting a new Niner or their first Niner. Consequently, our frame stock has been ravaged by the number of orders. We have finally caught up, and currently have stock of most every frame with more being readied as we write. This includes our new W.F.O. 9, R.I.P. 9, E.M.D. 9, One 9, Air 9, S.I.R. 9 and M.C.R. 9. Contact your favorite Niner dealer and we will get your frame to you as quickly as we can. Dealer info can be found here.

>> VELOCE VELO
Veloce Velo specializes in unique products, passionate employees, and an easygoing atmostphere. Located in Issaquah, the most eastern suburb of Seattle, nestled against the Cascade mountain range, we started the shop out of a need for better equipment and service. Two years later we are settling in and realizing how hungry people were for something different. A large stock of 29er bikes and parts from multiple companies (with Niner at the forefront) makes us one of the few shops in the area supporting our favorite wheel size. Trail rides leaving from the shop and easy access to country roads and year-round dirt riding puts us in great place to enjoy our bikes while close to home and work. Demo bikes from every brand make for confident and easy decision making.
Veloce Velo means "fast wheels", and nothing epitomizes that more than the efficiency of 29ers.

>> MISSOULA BICYCLE WORKS
Welcome to Missoula! We are situated right in the heart of hilly western Montana at the confluence of several world class fishing and boating rivers. But what I think really sets our valley apart are the miles and miles of epic wilderness trail riding. Whether you like fast flowing fun single track (which is the staple for trails in the Rattlesnake recreation area) or rough rugged technical trails (which you will find throughout the Bitterrroot Valley) you will find the perfect place to ride your 29er. Actually I would recommend having two 29ers in your quiver. A hard tail and a dualie just to make sure you have the right bike for the day!
Many of us here at Missoula Bicycle Works started riding 29 inch wheels about 5 or 6 years ago. We were not sure what to expect but most of us came from a 'cross background and already new how fast taller wheels were off road. Now I think that all but three of the folks here at the shop are riding 29ers and most are riding Niners.
When 29ers first started growing in popularity most folks were saying that those "big wheeled" bike are best for tall people. At least around Missoula we dispelled that notion. Our shop manager, all 5'6" of him, has been on a Niner longer than any of us. We also have the distinction of having Megan Fisher as both a Niner athlete and top sales person here at Missoula Bicycle Works. Megan is THE top impaired XTerra triathlete. She is a member of the US impaired triathlon team and is also a top road cyclist. She competes at XTerra races on her uber light-weight Kermit Green Air9.
We carry a couple of different brands of bikes with 29 inch wheels but Niner has been at the core of our 29'er fleet for the last couple of years. It has taken Missoula a little bit of time to get used to the taller wheels but our demo fleet of Niner bikes has helped to smooth that transition. There is rarely a day when most of our rentals are not taken and that in turn has helped to create sales of Niners.
If you are ever in Missoula stop by the shop, I am sure there will be someone here who will be eager to show off some of the many world class trails we have right out our door.
