OUR STORY

Humble Beginnings

My passion for riding started over a decade ago working at various bicycle shops around North Alabama. Like any good bike shop mechanic I took my work home with me. It didn't feel like work at the time. I mean, it's my passion and I wanted folks to ride well maintained bicycles. Well, that and I was swimming in the beer they brought me as payment (I may still be guilty of accepting beer for payment).

After hours work was starting to become a full time practice and I was clean out of space; which made easy justification to build a two story power shed in the backyard for epic bicycle maintenance parties. With that said, I still had a full time job and was burning the candle at both ends, until one day...

"Enough is enough. I quit"! I wish that's how it happened... Actually, I got fired from my last bicycle job HA! And glad that I did. That experience drove the final motivating nail to build a nationally known bicycle shop right here in North Alabama; turning the least popular brand (at the time) into what people now crave....

BLEVINS IN THE WILD

Gotcha

This is one Christmas well spent surrounded by nature and positive vibes. Merry Yuletide y’all

Our new bicycle storage is coming along nicely. We are 3/4 complete with the build and when it’s done it’ll hold 150+ bike comfortably. Why pay someone when you can do it yourself, right?

This is what happens when you find a table that matches your truck perfectly. Massive thanks to @preservationcompany for excellent customer service and impeccable craftsmanship. Just another reason to support and shop local.

Obviously looking good while going down the road is important but so is safety. Luckily with these sexy stealth @noxcomposites black reflective decals you can have the best of both worlds. The decals stay nice and stealthy until a flash of light hits them.

I had a blast getting this trike back in working order for Huntsville Public Library. Plus it’s riot to ride.

This cold weather has me dreaming of days getting lost deep in the woods of Pisgah.

When the temperature drops fast and it’s super cold out then you might as well find a creative way to stay warm.

Well it looks like my search might finally be over. In the last 12 years that I’ve been riding gravel, hand pain and numbness has plagued every ride I’ve done. No matter how many adjustments I made there was never any solution that I could conjure up. Today was my first ever ride on a @iamspecialized Diverge. Even being a dealer, I was skeptic that the future shock wouldn’t solve my issues of poor hand circulation. I’m happy to say that I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. With minimal setup and fit adjustments I went out on my first ride and after 20 miles I had ZERO pain or numbness. I’m truly amazed how smooth yet fast this bike is. Sure, it might not be for everyone but damnit it’s the bike for me. I can’t wait to see how much better it gets over the next couple of rides with a few more tweaks to the fit.

I’m finally selling my gravel bike to fund a new project and I need it gone ASAP. Hit me up if you’re interested. $1000 firm 2018 Specialized Sequoia 52cm BOTTOM BRACKET: 68mm, BSA CHAIN: KMC X11, 11-speed w/ Missing Link™ CRANKSET: FSA Gossamer Pro SHIFT LEVERS: Shimano RS505, flat mount FRONT DERAILLEUR: Shimano 105, clamp-on CASSETTE: Sunrace, 11-speed, 11-36t CHAINRINGS: 48/32T REAR DERAILLEUR: Shimano 105, GS cage, 11-speed TIRES: WTB Riddler 700x45

We always say that we’re a full service shop and I guess this proves it. Installing hitches under cars isn’t usually part of our normal workload but we love our customer so why not? #blevinsbicycleco #huntsvillesbikeshop #mtb #mountainbike #hub #handbuilt #handbuiltwheels #buylocal #shoplocal #shimano #sram #bicycle #bike #shoplife #bikeshop #bikeshoplife #mtb #mountainbike #iamspecialized #bicycles

The first ever @thegreatcyclebikeshow turned out to be a really fun and well attended event. Can’t wait till next year!

Spent the majority of my day making Bicycle themed trophies.

Some people wonder what goes into a custom wheel build so here you go. Here’s a stunning combination of @santacruzbicycles Reserve rims laced to @industry_nine Hydra hubs.

I couldn’t be more stoked about my new work apron. 100% made and sourced in North Alabama by the fine folks at @holtzleatherco . They were even kind enough to throw my initials on there for me.

This new drool worthy shred skews is ready to tear up some trails. @santacruzbicycles new Hightower is a super capable trail bike that’s about to make someone super happy.
