How did we make it 30 years?! There have been some high points for sure. Like our derailleurs making it onto the covers of magazines, being spec'd as original equipment on Bianchi Singlespeeds, our parts mounted on bikes winning everything from land-speed records to National Championships, and making it on every hot bike at NAHBS to name a few.
And yeah, there have been some low points, such as surviving on ramen when times were tough. Luckily, between the dedication of our hardworking staff and the loyalty of you passionate bike nerds, we're still here cranking out the highest quality bicycle components, and we even have some very exciting secret new products in the works!
As much as we've loved our annual PAULoween cyclocross race (what a party!), we've decided to replace it this year with a 30th Anniversary Open House. That's right, we're opening our factory gates to the entire cycling community on October 19th from 2pm to 11pm. It's a total Willy Wonka type of situation, with Paul himself giving tours of the machine shop, live music, movies, the best tacos in town, refreshments, custom bikes, and framebuilders in attendance.
The Schedule:
• 2pm Open House begins with custom bikes on display all day
• 2:30pm-6:30pm factory tours by Paul himself
• 4pm-10pm Jalapeño City Taco Truck
• 5pm-10pm Hosted Bar
• 7pm Movies: California Gold and Dirt Magic
• 8pm Live Music: Whifflehammer
• 11pm Party's over dude, time to go
