Amante-Logo-400wi1

For True Coffee Lovers

Amante coffee is some of the finest coffee you will find anywhere. We can make this claim because all of our beans are custom-roasted by the Ghigo family in the classic Northern Italian tradition. From generation to generation, the Ghigo's have handed down the secrets of selecting, roasting and blending the world's finest coffee beans. Already served at over a thousand top cafes and restaurants in its homeland, this gourmet coffee is now available for the first time ever in America. Amante is proud to bring you this authentic taste of Italy.

Love at First Sip

Italy is truly a nation of coffee lovers. There are few places on earth where coffee is savored with so much passion. The Amante classic Italian roast produces a round, richly nuanced flavor that is entirely free of bitterness. Exclusively imported from the Ghigo family, one of Italy's leading coffee roasters, Amante will enchant you from the very first sip. Deeply aromatic. Consistently creamy. Delightfully robust. Throughout Italy, the name Ghigo has been synonymous with great coffee for more than half a century. Amante invites you to find out why…and fall in love with coffee all over again.

nature_med-logo

NatureMed is a true integrated clinic. Our medical director is well-versed in nutritional therapies and both Drs. Kelly and Steve Parcell have done extensive internships in conventional medicine in addition to naturopathic medicine.

Our philosophy: Every person and condition is unique, and we work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that will offer the greatest benefit. By addressing the underlying cause of disease, we can optimize health, extend your "health span" and help you avert expensive medical procedures and illnesses. We will spend the time it takes to answer all your questions and develop a detailed, long-term treatment plan that addresses all your health concerns.You won't meet with a PA or nurse first only to see the doctor for ten minutes and repeat your story again! When drugs and surgery are the best options we will recommend these. If you are put on a prescription drug we will make sure you understand why its important. If you need a referral, you will be referred to one of our hand-picked specialists.

What makes us unique? We are trained in Western, Eastern, alternative, complementary, integrative and holistic medicine. This training and experience allows us to "bridge the gap" between these different medical schools of thought.

Athlete focus: We support local teams, athletes and events and are part of the athletic community. We specialize in treating athletes, going above and beyond typical medical care and using everything modern medicine has to offer to optimize health and athletic performance. We see professional and amateur athletes in the Denver area and from overseas. We are aware of U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules. We know what can be used both in and out of competition. Athletes are often under-served in medicine because doctors assume there is nothing wrong with someone "so healthy." However, athletes have very different metabolic and nutritional needs compared to the general population. We use the term "internal medicine for athletes." It refers to the fact that we look beyond just treating sports injuries. Typically athletes come to us either because their athletic performance is slipping or because they want to perform even better and start getting to the podium.

Excel Sports Boulder - Serving the Cycling Community Since 1988


Excel Sports is committed to delivering the best customer service in the bicycle retail, period. Our full-time sales staff has been active in the cycling industry for years and most have managed retail stores before working here. This incredibly qualified staff is backed up by decades of experience in our customer service department and a shipping department that is the most reliable and efficient in the industry.

It may be cliché at this point, but Boulder, Colorado is a mecca for cycling and multi-sport and between the altitude, the huge variety of climbing, flat, and rolling terrain here provides what can be called an optimal training location for endurance athletes and events. This amazing location is the ultimate backdrop for our business and draws cycling crazy, highly qualified people from which to build our staff.

We all work very hard to stay on top of ever-evolving world of high-end bicycle frames and components. Every employee at Excel is a cyclist and a high percentage of us have raced in various or multiple disciplines at high levels over the years. Product experience comes from field testing and daily usage- not from a magazine or web review. Our staff also taps into Boulder's tremendous network of professional cyclists and triathletes, many of whom shop in our Boulder showroom. Our local rides and racing scene provide exceptional opportunities to test equipment at levels rarely matched outside the professional peloton. Regular conversations with local pros often give us prototype-testing feedback long before you can find it on the Internet. While we can't list the names of every pro (due to their contractual obligations) who we have a relationship with, suffice to say that many of the top North American cyclists, and international triathletes live or train seasonally in Boulder.

While we can't stock every brand, product, or color, our buyers work very hard to keep listed products on-hand and ready to ship. We receive valuable input from our customer base on which products they want to see in our catalog- so please feel free to submit your ideas. Your input is appreciated and valued by our sales and purchasing staff.
It is hard to quantify, but we feel safe in saying we answer 98% of all technical questions that come in via phone call, email, or LiveChat. With such a knowledgeable sales and customer service crew, only the toughest or esoteric questions get passed on to our extremely busy service technicians and wheel builders. We don't know everything, but we do our best and feel like we go well beyond what is expected to serve our customers.


Committed. Knowledgeable. Honest. Experienced. Hardworking. Efficient. Professional.

 

fascatLogoFinal

FasCat Coaching is a cycling coaching company dedicated to helping cyclists improve their performance.  FasCat is especially effective training athletes with powermeters.  Founded in 2002, FasCat is based on ten successful years of racing and training, sport science and a high level of interaction between the coach and the athlete.


Frank Overton founded FasCat Coaching in 2002 and has been a full time coach since 2004.  Back in the day, heraced competitively first as a mountain biker and then as a category 1 roadie for 10 years. After the 2005 season, he "retired" to dedicate more of his energy to being a coach and a family man.  This allowed him to take on projects like working for the Priority Health Professional Cycling Team in 2006 and then the US National Team in Europe for 2007.

Frank started training with power in 2001 and couldn't have become the athlete or the coach, he is today without such a training tool. 
Power Based Training allows us to utilize my sport science background to maximize athletic performance in ways that just aren't possible without it.  

Training with power is a large portion FasCat's Coaching philosophy but not the end all.   We teach athlete's how to race and perform.  I still rely heavily on getting to know the athlete, and draw from my experience as a racer & a coach to help.  I use a hands on approach to motivate athletes by showing them what they are capable of. 

 

retul_logo

"A good bike fit is the most effective  performance upgrade you can do to your ride"

Retull is the brainchild of three bike industry aficionados. The  Retul motion capture bike fit system was under development for  approximately 2 years, as a side project of engineering jedi, Cliff  Simms. Simms sought out former industry colleague, Franko Vatterott, who began developing the branding strategy and eventually connected with  Todd Carver, 3-D motion capture bike fit expert formerly with Boulder  Center for Sports Medicine. The three launched Retul in November 2007,  and the technology has quickly set the new standard in dynamic data  capture for bike fitting. Now the system is being used across the United States, Canada, Europe, Middle East, New Zealand and even the  Caribbean.

In addition to powering bike fitters around the globe with the Retul  technology, we also have operate fit studios in Denver and Boulder, CO.  Retul Studios offers 3-D Cycling Gait Analysis using state-of-the-art  motion capture technology originally designed for the surgical  navigation industry. The same accuracy standards used by medical  professionals who are performing brain and other noninvasive surgical  procedures are now available for precision bicycle fitting. What does  this mean to you? Well.... a well versed bike fitter now has the ability to capture an enormous amount of dynamic data from your pedaling stroke and track all the moving parts of your body simultaneously while riding the bicycle AND can do this under different workloads. A cyclist's  pedaling mechanics can change significantly when applying variable  efforts to the pedals and the Retul system will pick up these  differences and allow the fitter to set your position accordingly.

Bike Fits at Retul Studios Denver are conducted by 3-D biomechanical analysis expert, Todd Carver, MS. Formerly conducting fits at the  Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, Carver now offers his services in  Denver and through partner affiliates shops in the greater metro area.
