Over the next few months, Butcher will be working towards finalizing the location for the venture. During this time, both the CEO and COO of 3T Cycling will come from Milan, Italy to visit and tour Memphis, the home of their new North American service center.
βWe have no doubt Clark Butcherβs team at Victory Bicycle Studio will meet the high standards we set for 3T Service Centers,β RenΓ© said. βOur customers in the United States can buy our wheels with the assurance of world-class service backup.β
