The Story of a Bike Emporium
Founded in a time pre-internet, email, and even faxes! A classic phone call, snail mail or a face to face visit were the ways of contacting a store. Originally, Scotty Browns was a first of its time, full-color mail-order bicycle catalogue. Blowing the competition away with world’s leading road bike brands and pricing. Driven by a persistent passion for both cycling and delivering unbelievable personal service, the success of Scotty Browns breathes strong, and the birth of the Bike Emporium begun.
Now 25 years strong, we have built our pedigree as a premium road cycling store, with a progressive edge as a mountain bike retailer. Building a strong and reputable mountain biking culture.
