Four Under $4000
From time to time, we’ll receive the somewhat rhetorical question, “Your bikes are really expensive, right?” We like this question—as it begins a worthwhile conversation—but the assumption on cost is not always inline with the complete bicycle options we offer at CBS.
The words “expensive, cheap, affordable, unobtainable, or entry-level” have a variety of meanings for different folks. One of the most important messages we try to exude at Cascade Bicycle Studio is the idea that you-the-potential-client do not have to earn the right to purchase a bicycle from the studio. And, with this idea comes this simple fact: Not all bicycles sold at CBS start at five-figure numbers.
What you can expect from Cascade Bicycle Studio is a very unique purchasing process, regardless of the cost of your new potential bicycle. We work exclusively by appointment and 1-on-1 with each client. Does this come at an additional cost? Simply, no, it does not. The investment on your end is the time it takes to make an appointment and come and visit us. The product you’ll receive—in addition to your new bicycle—is a level of service that is completely unique to bicycle retail.
When you visit us, you will receive respect, attitude-free answers to any and all of your questions, and an optimally fitting and performing bicycle. To give you an idea of where our bicycles start in price, below you’ll find four complete bicycle examples offered at CBS, starting under $4,000. (Not all images represent exact component spec)
