Legend Bicycle

I made it to the shop yesterday. Chatted with Jack for a few minutes and took in the changes.

I like it. A lot. The changes that is. The giant middle island thing that packed bikes underneath and stuff and the occasional bike on top is gone. Opens it up. You can walk around the store without squeezing past customers and bikes now. Much easier to get a handle on what is there and what isn't. The register moved to a bit more logical location and where it used to be is a nice wood stove. I love the smell of a wood heat so that is a huge plus to the ambiance.

It really was a shock that I hadn't been in there since the change. Inventory and stock does look like everything was split in about 1/2. The repair stands are fewer, there is one set of tools now instead of 2.5 but everything is there that is needed for a shop, except maybe a few Van Sweringens and a Bakfiet or two.

And then there is this announcement that Jack sent out after opening Legend:

Providence is now Legend Bicycle. We're proud to continue being the
full-service bicycle shop for the Fox Point neighborhood and we look

In addition to Fuji, Jamis and the other products found here when we were
the Hub, expect to find products geared to the "transportation cyclist".
You know who you are. Please feel free to suggest products that you would

So there you go. And you can be there will be a touch of Cyclocross in that shop come the fall. Jack didn't make it to too many races last year but he did hit a couple, he does speak cross. (yes I'm planning to get over to the new Hub location soon to get the in person feeling from Jesse's new digs).
