Roscoe 7 - Bike of Halloween
Do you want a balloon too?
Hi, I’m Pennyflake, a Trek Roscoe 7. Unlike Pennywise, I’m not here to feed on your tasty, tasty, beautiful fear. Oh no! I’m here to help you tackle it! I have been lurking in the shadows of the other bikes here, though. People seem worried I’ll be too much bike to handle, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. My features are designed to overcome obstacles and make you feel like a champion and not dinner for some deranged clown. I have wide, knobby tires for staying glued to your line. I have brakes so strong they are like McGregor’s choke hold. Control equals confidence, right? Well, my fork absorbs rocks and roots like a hound at chow time, allowing you to steer with precision. Add a shockingly affordable price of $1399 for all of that, and many would say I’m just the right amount of bike. What do you say? Let’s turn that fear into fun!
Marlin 7
Not ready to let summer end? You won’t have to with me!
Hi! I’m a Trek Marlin 7. My colors look as though I was kissed by the fire in the sky at summer sunsets and are meant to draw attention as we zoom by all of those black or very very dark gray Batman bikes. The 7 means I’m outfitted with upgrades that make me the perfect trail companion for new riders seeking a machine that’s more capable than they are, but one that won’t be quickly outgrown as their skills improve. My Rockshox Judy fork, FSA crank, and Shimano hydraulic brakes are rounded out with a Shimano Deore drivetrain that provides stability and dependable performance for new riders. At $750, you’ll walk away feeling like you stole me, rather than sold a kidney. Let’s get out and go! Sunlight is waning!
Warroad
*grunt* I’m Mad Max. A Salsa Warroad. I’m a custom modified high-octane, adrenaline-fueled, road-seeking survival machine. When your journey is filled with perilous danger, chaos, and the constant threat of Tik Tok distracted idiots driving 2-ton blocks of rolling steel, you want a bike that can respond in-kind. With my carbon frame and electronic Ultegra Di2 shifting, finding the gear and applying the watts to evade danger is effortless. Trying to outrun the spandex-wearing two-wheeled pedal-pushing mongrels chasing you down? My lightweight carbon rims, aerodynamic tubing, and 28mm tires reduce drag, extending your stamina for pushing through your physical limits, overcoming your obstacles, and beating the mongrels to the line. My gold accents are there to remind you that silver is for the first loser. Need to carry gear? I’m prepared for adventure with more mounting points than a climbing route on El Cap. When you have something to prove and the grit to go after it, I’m the ride you want.
Domane
Hello. I’m Alessandra, a Trek Domane. Like my namesake, the former Victoria’s Secret model, I gracefully glide down roads with elegance and poise. My sleek frame and aerodynamic design not only exude beauty and sophistication, but they are also reminiscent of the curves of supermodels, perfectly sculpted to catch the eye. Like models of the past, I all but disappear at certain angles thanks to my svelte tubing, forcing me to grudgingly share a bit of attention with the rider draping my frame. Trek’s advanced engineering gives me a smooth ride, quick takeoff, and effortless speed embodying performance and style, and projecting the confidence and allure of all runway models. I am a true showstopper on any road.
Timberjack
Hi. I’m Babe, a Salsa Timberjack, a real burly blue friend that harmonizes perfectly with the spirit of lumberjacks and adventurers alike. My frame is as sturdy as an ancient oak tree, standing tall and proud, ready to tackle any terrain, any forest, any trail with unwavering determination. My tires match the calloused hands of all lumberjacks, gripping the earth with a firm and unyielding hold as we drive forward. My suspension is as resilient as a lumberjack's muscles, absorbing every bump and jolt with ease, ensuring a smooth and steady ride. My powerful gears and smooth shifting are akin to the precise and efficient movements of a lumberjack's axe, slicing deep into hard dense challenges. I’m not a bike; I’m a symbol of perseverance and grit, a testament to the indomitable nature of a lumberjack; a true companion for those who seek the thrill of the great outdoors and have the guts to get after it. Wimps beware. Hop on and let’s embark on an adventure together like no other.
Discover 1
Hi. I’m Bumble Bee, a Velotric Discover 1. As my name and color suggest, I like to buzz around on electrons at speeds up to 20mph for up to 58 miles on throttle alone. Yes, this means I am the PERFECT eBike companion! For whom? The PERFECT eBike owner, of course. Me: Yellow, with nice wide tires for stability, comfortable “heads up” riding position, fenders to keep you dry and me looking new, lights to see and keep us safe, and pedal-assisted or throttle-enabled riding included. You: Fun loving and adventurous, preferring pavement over dirt, comfort over athleticism, the songs of nature over Top 40 radio, and appreciates a great value. For $1599 you and I can buzz along quickly or meander slowly and enjoy every flower along the way.
Fold 1
Autobots, transform and roll out!” Do you remember the 1980s when you played with Transformers and dreamed of having a car that would transform into a robot? Hi! I’m Folding Thunder, Velotric’s Fold 1 utilitarian, fast, and packable eBike. Together we can blaze along at 28 mph in pedal assist mode, or you can throttle me up for a moped-like ride at 20mph. Capable of carrying a total weight of 440 lbs and a host of customization options for the rear rack, you’ll find I can do more than any other bike here (a transforming dog just didn’t seem right this week). And when you need to hide me out of the way or shrink me down for transport, I quickly transform into a super awesome and amazing small bundle of metal! Sorry, Velotric is still working on the robot thing. And yes, you’ll have to make your own synthesized transforming music as you fold me up; but HEY, I’m the only bike here that can easily fit INTO a trunk as opposed to ON a trunk! At $1199 I won’t be around long, so hurry up, unfold your wallet and take me home!
Loft GO!
Hi. I’m Pink Cadillac, an Electra Loft GO!. Bruce Springsteen once crooned temptations will always come along, and Eve didn’t tempt Adam with an apple. Nope! It was her Pink Cadillac! Just look at me. I think he’s right! I’m cute, electric pedal-assisted up to 20 mph, with classic bike lines and white wall tires. You and I can ride for 40 miles on a charge, and together make the boys drool like a Saint Bernard. Everyone knows you never ask a lady her weight, so let’s just say I’m a lightweight for an eBike. At $1999, I’m the most affordable Trek manufactured pup here, leaving plenty of extra for a milkshake at the soda fountain. You may think my tires are a little skinny, but I promise I’m more stable than a bodybuilder on leg day. Seriously boys; do some squats with those curls. My owner will be looking for the full package.
These Pups Need Homes!
The shelter has run out of room, and as the area’s premier no kill bicycle shelter, that means potential deals for you! We have 6 pups that have stayed with the shelter for a long time and are in desperate need of someone to adopt them, love them, and run them for miles on the open road. Our staff has already hit their limit, with some of us personally adopting 5 or more pups. We have a Ponto GO!, 3 Marlin+s, and 2 Top Fuels. These bikes are all extra exciting models with unique characteristics, personalities, and features that will have you loving them for years to come. As an extra incentive to motivate the right adopter, these 6 bikes are being discounted up to $1200 off of MSRP! You’ll get a great ride, a companion you may have otherwise overlooked, and each comes with serious bragging rights about how much you saved. Don’t delay! At these adoption rates, we do not anticipate they will be here another week!
Roscoe 6
Hi. I’m Bruce Banner. Yes, because I’m green and when I run the single-track trails I love to bark, “Hulk SMASH!” I’m a Trek Roscoe 6, and as you can see, I’m fortunate enough to have been adopted and sent to the grooming station. My grips, pedals, water bottle cage and mud guard have been customized to make a lasting impression when my adopter and I blow by other riders. I’m a little knobby kneed in the tires for superior traction, have an awesome 140mm travel fork, powerful hydraulic brakes, a tubeless tire setup out of the box, and a dropper post for quick center of gravity changes. The shelter received word from Animal Control that many more like me are on the way, so there you will have the opportunity to adopt and groom your own! For $1200 you’ll be hard pressed to find a better trail companion than me!
Ponto GO!
Hi! I’m Lloyd. I’m a Ponto GO! You might be shocked to learn I’m one of Trek’s Electra branded eBikes. Why shocked? Because of my kickass moped styling that is pretty edgy for Trek. I can zip along at up to 26 mph over a 60 mile range, and get this, I can carry a whopping 360 lbs!! I’m more mule than dog.. er..bike. For commuting, grocery pickup, or running a kiddo to neighborhood swim practice, I have the room, ease of handling, styling, and power to get you there and home. I also come with a qi charging port for your phone, hydraulic brakes for stopping, turn signals, and a throttle!! Yep, the shelter staff have never seen a Trek-made bike with a throttle before.
Because of my long flat saddle and rear foot pegs, I can even carry a buddy in comfort and style! My adoption fee is $2700, which might sound like a lot, but for what I am and being backed by Trek’s warranty and service, I’m a bargain compared to the other hounds here.
Haro Bridgeport
Hello. I’m Sally, as in Sally Ride. Off into the wild blue yonder like a summer cloud drifting through the sky, that’s how you’ll look riding me. I’m a Haro Bridgeport. Gen Xers will remember Haro BMX from their childhoods. It’s the same company, but all grown up; just like them. I’m THE perfect companion for your summer of fun and fitness. We’ll turn heads together as you turn the pedals. As a hybrid I roll easily across pavement AND I have a little extra bounce for when we pounce on those light gravel lake trails. Do you like to accessorize? I do. I love getting dressed up with flashy fenders, baskets, bells, and those little streamer thingies that hang from the grips. Wondering who would be my ideal adopter? Do you have a freshman heading off to college? Or maybe a teenager craving freedom, but just isn’t ready for one of those motorized monsters? Perhaps you want to be comfortable and rugged? If so, I’m the pup you want. My adoption fee is a very reasonable $690. Isn’t that, like, one month’s auto insurance for a teenage driver? Cha ching! And now look who’s saving money! Let’s not let the sunny weather pass us by.
Haro Shredder 18
Hi. I’m Skippy. I’m a Haro Shredder. Of the 18” variety. I like to run. I like to play. I like to chase balls and squirrels. I love air in my tires and a kid on my saddle. Where we going? Somewhere fun? Somewhere to play? When are we going? Huh? Huh? Will there be puddles? I like puddles. Did I mention I like kids? I’m GREAT with kids. With 18” tires I’m perfect for kids that have outgrown their trainer pet. I’m more energetic and challenging, but no so large they’ll struggle. Like a Jack Russell after the gerbil but before the Lab. Perfect for 5-7 year old humans who have the basics of balance down. Or, the staff says I can have training wheels put on, which sounds like a muzzle, but I get it, I get it. Oh! Oh! I have a sister here too! She’s pink. Only difference. My adoption fee is $270. Hope to see ya! Ooo. Gotta go! I see a little bell in the shelter I want to ring over and over.
Marlin+ 6
Hi. I’m Ernie the eBike and I’m one of Trek’s Marlin+ eMountain Bikes. I have all the usual features of my manual brothers, but with an added nearly indestructible Bosche crank drive motor to power you up the hills and rip though the flats. My suspension fork will keep you glued to my saddle as we eat up roots and rocks, and my wide tires will keep us stuck to our line. At 49 lbs and $2700 I’m one of the lightest and most affordable eMTB Trek makes.
Precaliber 24
Well, hello there! I’m Skippy and I’m a Trek Precaliber 24. With the warm weather and the end of school in sight, I bet you’ll be looking for a way to keep your human pups busy so you can “work from home”. When that thought hits you, I hope you think of Skippy! With my lightweight figure, rear rim brakes, and easy 8-speed twist shifter, I tear through lake trails and hilly trips to the neighborhood pool the way a canine eats couch cushions. While we all grow at different rates, I tend to be the perfect companion for your 7-10 year old who has mastered riding without training wheels and isn’t quite ready for shifters in both hands. At $440 and this adoption shelter’s trade in trade up program, the only way you’ll go wrong is by choosing someone else.
Project One Checkpoint SLR 6
Aloha! I’m Rainbow Rick. Think of me as a pot of gold for cyclists. I’m one of Trek’s Project One colors on a Checkpoint SLR 6. Project One is Trek’s paint customization outfit that can provide you standout color options on your new road bike like Chroma, Prismatic, Smoke, and many others. If you want to blend in, buy a grey bike or adopt a lab. If you want to make a statement, choose me! I’m a gravel bike ready to tackle backcountry adventures and come complete with electronic shifting for speed and accuracy. My 2x12 drivetrain and 700x40mm tires provide great pavement speed to whisk you to the backcountry quickly and then plenty of low gears and traction for tackling the gnarly stuff. Whether you believe in leprechauns, are moving to Hawaii, or just have a sunny disposition, I might be the perfect bike for you!
Flightline Two
Hi. They call me Red. Not exceptionally original, but adequately descriptive. I’m a Haro Flightline Two mountain bike. I’m like a Trek Marlin in a different body. Kinda like a Golden Retriever and a Lab. HA! I have plenty of gears for tackling trails or pavement, easy to maintain parts, disc brakes, and a front suspension fork that is perfect for jumping curbs. Perhaps most importantly, a litter of us just arrived in hard to find small and medium sizes, which are great for your little pups! At $589 I’m practically a no brainer. Come adopt us before we chew up all of the shop’s supply of chain lube and bike pumps.
Precaliber 16
Uh Oh! Someone has some explaining to do!
The shop dog, Dacre, had puppies! These little cuties are Precaliber 16s in Volt and Pink Frosting. Perfect for your little 4-5 year old pups to be introduced to the joys of riding a bike. They are lightweight, single speed, pedal braking machines that come assembled with training wheels! At $299 they are practically a steal in the purebred world. Being bred from Trek (and Dacre), these beauties hold their value and can be traded in for the next size up within 2 years of adoption for up to 50% of their purchase price.
Adopt one today! But please leave your male canines at home.
Rangefinder
Yo! I’m Rangefinder, bro. I’m Salsa’s hardtail ripper designed for shredding the gnar with jalapeño and tomato. If Trek’s Marlin were a yellow lab, then I’m a black lab. You may not be familiar with Salsa Cycles, but they only breed bikes for adventuring joy. While their bikes come in all sizes, the staff here finds taller riders discover Salsa’s geometry fits them like a favorite pair of jeans. My gnarly Maxxis Rekon 29ers grip as we rip, while my 120mm travel fork devours bumps like a kid eating tacos on Tuesday. My wide bars, quick snappy shifting and hydraulic brakes keep you in control where others throw you to the trees. To take this chili pepper home you’ll have to part with $699. Then we can hit the trails, eat some mud, rip around berms, soar over jumps, and generally kick butt.
So what are you waiting for? Get me outta here!
Velotric T1 ST
Hey. They call me the Sandman. I’m Velotric’s T1 ST lightweight eBike. That probably makes me sound like a cross between a Metallica fan and a Cyberdyne Systems’ Terminator. I assure you I am really a gentle pup. One that my torque sensing proprietary drive system powered by a 350W motor and integrated battery will propel you 52 miles at a whopping 25 mph down paved paths! Argh argh argh argh!
Being 36 lbs I’m only slightly heavier than a manual mountain bike, so you can probably lift me without another human and any car rack will hold me. How do you like them apples, Rad Power? At $1099 I’m one of the best built and most affordable – and adoptable – bike shop supported eBikes available. And sure, you can ride me in full manual mode, too. I get it. We all need exercise.
Emojo
Hi! I’m Emojo, the newest pup in the pound. Unlike Cujo, I’m mentally AND physically stable with three wheels and TWO baskets; enough to carry lots of um….refreshments. So if you like Pina Coladas and rain, I’ve got you! I’ll handle the stability, my fenders will keep mud off of you, and my electric 500W front hub motor and battery are big enough to propel us up to 35 miles on a charge at 20 mph. If you feel like taking control, I have 7 speeds and can be pedaled completely manually. How we go is up to you! My 4” wide tires are perfect for long rides on the beach, trips through the woods, and instilling confidence that potholes and squirrels don’t stand a chance! I retail for $3200, but am being offered here for $2900. I’m a steal!
Discover 1
Bonjour, darling. I’m Cyan. My breeder, Velotric, refers to me as Discover 1. As a fine lady I simply find that name so boring for someone wrapped in Tiffany blue. I’m an exciting and sophisticated electric bike with enough watts to carry you 65 beautiful miles before we rest for some electrons and a glass of fine French wine. My plunging step-through frame makes me easy on and easy off. Easy boys; I’m still a bike. With my headlight shining the way, we will vroom vroom up to 25mph, and my fenders will keep your trousers clean. You will want to stare for hours at my large display screen rimming my dark numerals. Don’t get lost in them, though. Your eyes should be up on the road. If you’re too embarrassed to ride Cyan, then adopt me for your wife. I am simply THE perfect accessory to give her that little je ne sais quoi. And at $1099 you’ll still have enough left to spring for Dom Perignon to share, where other eBikes will leave you strapped for 2 buck Chuck. Come adopt Cyan, honey. Help me onto your oo la la big sleek automobile and take me home today.
Top Fuel 8 XT
Hi. I’m Butch. I’m of the breed Top Fuel 8 XT from the breeder Trek. I like to play in the mud, wrestle roots, jump stumps, and chase squirrels. My wide knobby tires provide strong grip for ripping around berms, and my Rockshox full-suspension setup absorbs the bumps and keeps my rider in control on uneven terrain. I come with a dropper-post instantly boosting your trail cred, even if you don’t know when to use it. I have a lightweight aluminum frame, a rockin’ Shimano XT drivetrain, and hydraulic brakes strong enough to buy Mr. Squirrel another day to keep on livin’. You know how cheap wine gets the job done, and fine wines make meals memorable? At $3999, I’m a like a fine wine. Your rides are just gonna be more fun and memorable than if you went out on one of those budget mutts. Come adopt me, and let’s go find some stumps!
Verve
Hi! I’m Verve. Unlike Verve+, your leg power moves me. Literally. I’m sleek, sexy, and comfortable. Like a night spent curled up on the couch with Ryan Reynolds after he cooks you dinner. I’m built for an upright riding position removing any stress being put on your wrists and shoulders. My frame shape makes me super easy to get on and off, so I’m perfect for new riders or those with dodgy hips and limited flexibility. I have a wonderful road-bump absorbing suspension seatpost and comfort inducing adjustable handlebars. My sharp color may be too much for some, but get this, I’m hot AND very down to earth. While my breeders suggested I be priced at $1000, the staff here decided $699 may be enticing for one of you out there.
Please adopt me today!
Sprocket
Bonjour! I’m Sprocket. I’m one of the few pups here. I’m a 20-inch single-speed built to play with your human pups. I'm the playful companion that will give your kids their first taste of self-propelled speed and freedom to explore their surroundings, whom they will recall with fondness well into their elder years.
My coat is called Mermaid. I thought mermaids lived in the sea, but I don’t have fins or scales, so I'm a bit confused. You know adults, though; they come up with nonsensical names for everything - like Verve+. There are also others in my litter with Neptune Blue and Peachy Keen coats. I come with a kickstand. It will give you peace of mind while your human pups will simply ignore it.
For only $389 I could be your child’s indelible memory.
Please adopt me today!
Checkpoint SL6 Etap
Hi! I'm Checkpoint. If we want to be technical about it, I'm Checkpoint SL6 Etap, but that's a lot to yell when you're calling me home for dinner.
As your rugged adventure companion I'm built for speed and efficiency over uneven, rocky, dirty terrain. I have more mounting holes than pegboard, so you can load me up with racks and water bottles to store gear, food, water, and growlers of beer. Bet you never looked at your bike and thought brewery tour, but you will now with me. My carbon frame is stiff, yet absorbs more of the road than my aluminum counterpart, and my electronic shifting is quick, snappy, and SO pleasing to use that you'll never want a cable again.
I know you might think I'm just too pretty for you. I hear that a lot from other prospective owners, but what they don't understand is that like a finely tailored suit, I look good, but I make you look better.
At $4,499 I'm not inexpensive, but what pure breed is? Remember - You'll look good, we'll have fun and explore like when you were a kid, and brewery tour by bike. :-)
Please adopt me today!
Verve+ 3
Hi! I'm Verve+ 3. I know what you're thinking. I must be one of Elon Musk's kids. Actually, the + means I'm electrified! Yep! I'm a full-fledged eBike with a crank drive German-engineered Bosch motor capable of applying seamless pedal-assisting power to propel you up to 28mph. I'm practically a BMW! I keep my riders upright and comfortable for long rides on smooth pavement. I'm perfect for a commuter! My full chainguard keeps pants and socks clean, my fenders deflect water and mud, my lights illuminate the way and keep you safe, and my rack can carry as many laptops as you need to do your job. And my best feature...my seatpost has a little extra bounce to absorb the rough spots in the road. It's as close to a Lay-Z-Boy your tush is going to get on a bicycle.
The lovely staff here believes my top tube and MSRP scared some potential adopters off, but they air and polish me often, while reassuring me that large frames need love too. The staff doesn't want this to only be about me, so they went ahead scripted a bragging point for you by offering me for only $1650!
I know you're out there, my forever someone. Please adopt me today!
Roscoe 6
Hi! I'm Roscoe. I'm a large framed hardtail built for ripping over single track trails, cornering berms like an F1 racer, and climbing hills like Alex Honnold scampering up El Cap. I love to play among logs and my front suspension and dropper seatpost keep me balanced, easy to control, and a master of gravity. Unlike some of the other adoptees here, I may be more than you can handle at first, but we'll grow together, which means you won't need another adoption right away. I'm tubeless ready and have heart-stopping hydraulic brakes, but I'm potty trained and won't accidentally leak on the floor. And for only $1650, I'm cheaper than a French poodle.
Please adopt me today!
