FRYEBURG, Maine (BRAIN) — Downeast Bicycle Specialists will hold its annual open house in its traditional format for 2015.
Last year the distributor held its open house in Peabody, Mass., but this year the event is back at its headquarters in Maine.
The event will be held over the weekend of March 7-8. Saturday will be dedicated to vendor presentations, while Sunday will follow the normal open house format. The company is encouraging dealers to arrive either Friday evening or Saturday morning and stay for the entire weekend.
"With the abundance of snow this year folks may want to stretch their visit a couple of extra days to take advantage of the area's great alpine and Nordic skiing," the company said.
The event gives dealers a chance to check out some of the new lines Downeast has added for the coming year, including Jagwire cables and brake pads, K-Edge computer and camera mounts, PowerBar nutrition, Vittoria helmets, Framed fat and city bikes, Epic-ID emergency bracelets, Bonk Breaker nutrition, NiteRider lights, Yuba cargo and commuter bikes, and Velowurks inflation products. Downeast now carries products from more than 200 suppliers.
New for 2015, Downeast will be publishing quarterly mini-catalogs, featuring new vendors and seasonally oriented product, rather than a single annual catalog. The first mini-catalog will be available at the open house, and will feature products from over 20 new vendors.
