Arizona– February 12, 2008--- 

Today Velo Vie Bicycles announced their partnership with Quality Bicycle Products, the largest independent bike parts and accessories distributor in America.  This expands on Velo Vie’s relationship with already more than 50 of the world’s best-known manufacturers.  “QBP has established relationships with top frame manufacturers to build their bikes and we are very happy to be added to that list,” said Brad LeVan, Velo Vie’s National sales manager. Velo Vie brings their products to the customer through easy to use web sites, making it effortless to attain a custom, lightweight, and high-speed bike. “Velo Vie is taking a slightly different approach to offer retailers and consumers value-added services that utilize our wide variety of products,” said LeVan. “Customers can customize bikes with well over 200 saddles, 100 wheel sets and 900 bar-stem-tape combinations with this partnership. "The bike ships within 48 hours, fully assembled. The bars are taped, cables stretched, and everything is torqued to spec. Since QBP’s professionals build the bike, all the customer has to do is install the bar, stem, seat post, pedals and wheels," Todd Cravens, Quality's sales manager.

LeVan spent months researching the best way for Velo Vie to service its growing dealer base across America.  “Retailers are quickly realizing that Velo Vie is an online company that actually works FOR the dealer.  The ability to completely custom order parts on bike builds is essential to maintaining margin.  Dealers only order what they need, eliminating the one offs that never sell, and allowing the dealer to offer upgrade items like wheel sets and saddles right from stock,” said LeVan.  Quality Bicycle Products offers another great alternative for VeloVie dealers by with financing terms on frame sets like the Vitesse 300 and Veloce, as well as complete bikes.  “This is truly a winning situation for the Velo Vie dealer base, teams, and individual customers”, said Homayoon Farsi, Velo Vie CEO. The Quality Bicycle Products name is synonymous with outstanding variety and value and we are proud to bring this service to Velo Vie riders.”
