Affinity Store Hours

I havent been able to contact the shop and would like to visit this sunday if they are open. I figured they probably wouldnt but i want to check since my birthday is the third and i want as much time to look at these frames as possible. What are the hours? Their not on the site.

Also does anyone have the lopro in matte white, because i love the look but i hear its very hard to keep clean. thanks

i have a lo-pro it matte white. the rumors are true, it's nearly impossible to keep clean. my top tube was stained blue from my jeans after a ride.

wait a month. gloss pearl white is going to be replacing the matte white.

Cant you just call them in the morning?
Its not like they dont answer the phone.
I have seen them do it! Heh.
Forgive me, but this is ridiculous.
Besides, if you want a clean bike... aww forget it.

How is this even possible? Were you dry humping your TT or something?

that's exactly it. there is no other possible way my legs could have come in contact with the top tube. excellent powers of deduction.

Seriously, how do your legs rub the TT when you are riding? I've ridden damn near every day for the last 15 years on many different bikes and have never had this problem. It makes no sense at all.

Really, what kind of trousers rub off the dye with light rubbing? Unless it was some sort of crappy home dye job I just don't see how it's possible. If it were damn near every light colored chair would be discolored.

It sounds like a bad idea to wear pants, but that probably wont be a problem for many who choose to ride one as they clearly want / need attention.

Yea you got me... it is a pretty flashy ride, but I really dig the geo and can't afford a spicer frame/other bikes this style. Plus the toe overlap isn't as bad as some of the more serious persuit bikes.

OMG !!

They didn't answer? Maybe they were mourning the loss of Micheal Jackson.

Cant anyone just cough up the hours? they haven't answered my email either. I hear their nice guys, maby there busy or something.

And by your guess it would be useless to call them today anyway because they'd probably be mourning Billy Mays.

I guess some of these people don't realize that not everyone wears skinny jeans.

I take it you've never owned raw denim jeans?
