Bicycle House – new bike shop on Burnet Road<\/a><\/h2>\n

By June Bug | austinmountainbiking.com<\/h4>\n

Bicycle House: New bike shop going in on Burnet, north of the Burnet\/Koenig intersection, just past Lamar Middle School. Sales, repair, bike fit and will carry Giant, Liv, Scott and BMC. Not open yet, although they’ll do consults on finding a bike.<\/p>\n

James Balentine and Thomas Miller are the principals, sounds like lots of solid experience, if anyone has come across them at Jack and Adams, Mellow Johnny’s or the mtn bike\/bmx race scene.<\/p>\n
