    Exciting Product Line Expansion News — Orbea Bicycles

    April 28, 2012 // 1 Comment »

    City Bike Tampa is now your downtown and South Tampa Orbea dealer! This means you have a new option for sales, service and any old or new warranty issues if you currently own an Orbea.

    One of the things we are very excited for is the My-O feature that Orbea just introduced this year. It’s a way to get a semi-custom bike built with the parts you want. This will let us pick correctly sized parts like stem, bars, seat, crank length and more. Not to mention paint color, wheels choices, bar tape. You instantly will see the price, weight plus additional info. Just share this with us and your dream bike will be a few days away!

    Why not give it a test ride right now: Click to access My-O

    Of course, like our other great bicycle options from Jamis, Bianchi, Pedego, KHS and Eastern, we will also stock an assortment of “out of the box” Orbeas for you to test ride at your convenience.

    We expect our first shipment of Orbea bicycles to hit our sales floor in about a week. Stop in (212 E. Cass Street, Tampa, FL 33602), call the shop (813-225-1777) or email us if you would like information.

    Orbea Carpe H30 -- MSRP $949

    Thank you for choosing City Bike Tampa.

    Get yours while they last…


    Today only (Saturday, March 31, 2012)

    And don’t forget about our ride to the Thai Temple on Sunday morning at 10:30…

    Sunday, April 01

    Group Ride to the Buddhist Thai Temple

    More formally known as Wat Mongkolratanaram of Florida. If you have never been there, this is what over 50 Yelpers have to say about it.

    We will be meeting at the City Bike Tampa Rental Hut location on the Riverwalk between the Tampa Convention Center and The Tampa Waterside Marriott at 10:30am on Sunday morning.

    This is a free-to-participate event. The temple does not accept credit cards as it is not actually a restaurant (the Yelp reviews will help you to understand more about what this means). If you decide to join us with the intentions of eating when you get there, remember to hit the ATM before meeting up with us at 10:30.

    Route Map…

    The ride is 13 miles in total (6.5 miles each way) and we will be spinning at a fairly casual pace…we hope you can join us to capstone this great weekend.
