Not only has Exile Cycles reached the 10-year mark, but it has just acquired a new 20,000 sq. ft. facility! Russell Mitchell and his crazy crew cordially invite yout to help them celebrate on Saturday, April 22 at their new address: 13209 Saticoy st., North Hollywood, CA 91605. Kick off is at noon and you’ll be kicked out at 6 p.m. Russell promises, “Bikes, beer and birds,” but he suggests music, food and cars will also feature heavily. The Exile boys count among their friends nearly all the custom bike scene’s heavy hitters so there’s no telling who might show up.

Russell tells us that the new premises will allow Exile Cycles to enter its next decade with an even greater level of professionalism. “We were so cramped in our old place that it was impossible to be efficient. We are now focusing firmly on customer service with high stocking rates and rapid order fulfillment for both parts and bike orders.”

The impressive new digs combined with the new Web site and catalog certainly put Exile in a great position to storm into its second decade. Be sure to help Russell and the gang celebrate the occasion! Exile Cycles, 132009 Saticoy St., North Hollywood, CA 91605, 818-255-3330, www.exilecycles.com. OPEN HOUSE: SAT., APRIL 22, 12-6 p.m.
