Time for a rearrange

First and foremost, we have expanded our offices and workshop. This means we now have dedicated, separate space for forming, sanding and finishing. We also have a new expanded shipping and material storage room as well! While we don’t have a full video tour as there is some final painting and cleaning going on, check out this new/old bench for the finishing station:

Updated Hours

We are hoping to catch more visitors in the evening now that it will be light out even later over the summer. Our new hours starting this past week are as follows:
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: 12–7
Sunday: 11–4
The shop will be open several other hours and days, please give us a call/email/twitter/facebook/smoke signal if you would like to stop by. We can always do appointments as well.

Website Update

We’ve update several sections of the website, including an overhaul on the Plank and Pinch description pages. Hopefully this will answer a few more questions about the products themselves, as well as installation and usage.

Expanding Production

As the frequent emails to us asking about stock levels have shown, we simply are having a hard time keeping up with demand. A great problem to have for us, but we really would like to let more people enjoy what ClankWorks has to offer. As a result, the expansions mentioned above have occurred, but we will be bringing on some extra help as well too. More details will come there in time. It won’t be an immediate change, but over the summer we will hopefully have more of our current offerings, and perhaps a new product or two, if things go exceptionally well.

Remember to bundle up and ride safely! We know how to handle our two handled beasts quite well, but please keep an eye out for less in control four-wheeled contraptions.

We also wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that today and tomorrow are the last chances to order things online to guarantee delivery by December 24th (within the continental 48 states). The last two weeks of December are also going to be lightly staffed, so expect later orders to drift into January as we take some time off to enjoy a breather and family. Expect more snow posts as it lays down!

This season’s tweed ride will be a bit shorter than the spring one, or the seersucker ride this summer, to accommodate the studio open house we are planning on having afterwards.

Route details are still being ironed out, but we would love to hear suggestions! We want to keep things slow paced and enjoyable, and as flat as possible. We will be beginning and ending at our studio (located in Doughboy Square near Bike-PGH) to make it easier to hang around afterwards, for those who chose to. There will be food and beer provided, we certainly don’t want to send anyone home from a ride famished!

More to come as we narrow it down! Leave comments if you have suggestions!

We'll be having this in our window a lot more often.

April brings spring showers, especially in this city, which is why it will be oh-so-crucial to have a fender this coming season. We see that as a great reason to begin having standard hours as well too!

Beginning Tuesday, April 6th, and carrying on every week thereafter, we will be around from 10 AM – 7 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Weekend hours will still be sporadic, but we will begin using twitter account for updates on weekends when we are open and here.

Stop by and take a look at the space, some cool products by ourselves, Velo Orange and a few other suppliers.

Looking forward to seeing some new faces!
