Came in once and had an older guy who did an amazing job working on my race bike and was patient with my clunker. Took the race bike back and two younger guys were there, they did one of the three things I asked for, totally forgot one, and I almost walked out of the shop with the derailleur not working at all. Sad. Even worse to see the “neighborhood shop” not being open on weekends. The two younger guys are absolute bums. They also replaced parts with non stock parts without asking, and miss-sized my chain which has wrecked my expensive chain rings and led to frame and paint damage.
I was sold an expensive bike pump as *the best one* LEYZNE...it is frankly a pain to use, takes 2 strong hands, gage unreliable, hard to put on...I disagree and feel very mis advised. :(
Came here over the summer to get some work done on my mtb, met Dan who was super friendly, honest, and did great work. Always chatted for awhile when I stopped by unless he was slammed. 10/10. Was very disappointed to find out Dan was no longer working there when I stopped in recently and was honestly shocked at how quickly the staff openly disparaged him, quite off-putting. Was equally disappointed with them only stocking inner tubes that were $12 a pop. Don’t think I’ll be taking my business here in the future sadly.
I have an old commuter bike that was very sad and I knew needed a significant amount of love to be revived for safe use. I did my research, and despite my disbelief that a shop could ever have ALL five star reviews, I am so glad to report that Dan is worth the hype! I will gladly skip the closer bike shops in my neighborhood and return to Dan if I have future bike repair needs. He is a genuinely wonderful human, excellent communicator, and an absolute whiz at his job. My commuter is now my new best friend, and feels more functional and safe than it ever has! Thanks again, Dan!
This review is long overdue. Dan was a huge help in Nov 2023 helping my wife find and fit a new Liv mountain bike. The saddle that came with the bike was not a great fit for her causing a lot of soreness and Dan's shop was new and his saddle selection limited. Still he met with us multiple times and mounted and adjusted saddles we purchased at other stores and online. He even offered to go riding with us and adjust the saddle on the trail. Ultimately we found a good enough saddle and are very happy with our purchase. Cannot recommend Dan enough and will be back.
