I have started a new business (new bicycle brand- Sage Cycles) and am in serious need of upgrading my current website to something more “professional” than what the current free Google sites can offer. I would like to start doing interviews in the next 2 weeks or so. If you are interested, please reply off-line and we can set something up. I am located in Beaverton, but can meet anywhere in the Portland area if necessary. I will also be in Bend this weekend for the races, so please stop by the booth as well to check out the bikes and we can chat as well.
