In case anyone is seriously interested in the purchase of a high quality custom bicycle, Plum Grove Cyclery (www.plumgrovecyclery.com) in Leesburg, VA is hosting Matt Bracken, President and Chief Frame Designer of Independent Fabrication. These bikes are on the same level as those from Serrota, and Seven. For anyone who attends this event on either day, Plum Grove is offering a 10% discount on all complete IF bikes ordered before January 1, 2008.

I personnaly own an IF Crown Jewel XS which is now 2 years old, and without question is the best bike I've ever ridden. Also, in my opinion Plum Grove is the finist, most accomadating shop that I've ever dealt with. We just purchased my wife's new Elite Tri Bike from Plum Grove in Leesburg, VA. We live about 55 miles away in Glenwood, MD. I apologize for this shameless pitch, but these guys are really great people to deal with. If you decide to go custom, you deserve to be pampered, and Mike, Tom and Rob from Plum Grove are the best.
