Frame Your Loopie with Special Offer from The Frame Factory

img_20160922_144833

Celebrate your completion of the 2019 The Alpine Loop Gran Fondo with a personalized Loopie print – a beautiful and lasting reminder of a great day on the bike; and now you have the option to take advantage of a special offer from The Frame Factory & Gallery to have your Loopie professionally custom-framed.

The owner of The Frame Factory & Gallery, Dana Harshbarger, has curated a selection of framing materials that complement the design of the personalized Loopie prints.

When you order your Loopie, you have the option to ship directly to:
The Frame Factory
139 North Liberty Suite 101
Harrisonburg, VA 22801
USA

After your Loopie is ordered, simply call or e-mail The Frame Factory to begin the process of selecting your custom-framing package.

The Frame Factory & Gallery will donate 5% of the cost of each framing package to the charitable mission of the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo. This contribution is made possible by the donation of their labor and expertise, not by marking up the cost to you. In fact, these framing packages are being offered at a significant retail discount especially for Gran Fondo participants. We appreciate your choice to use this cycling-friendly woman-owned small business. Allow 4-6 weeks from order of personalized Loopie print to receipt of framed artwork.
