Review from Trudi C.
5/19/2012 1 Check-in Here
My friend was after a Nutcase helmet like mine, we saw a load in the window here, popped in, and emerged with a amazingly coloured new helmet! There were many designs to choose from (they had in fact just received a whole new shipment), and helped my friend to fit it perfectly to her head size.
They had a good range of bikes available as well as accessories, but as I said, we were here on helmet business. Thumbs up :) -

I don't know much about bikes, but these guys are great. Everyone was really friendly and knowledgeable, and not condescending or snobby at all. They fixed my minor brake problem with no charge for labour, pumped up my tires and made some repair suggestions without pressuring me - all on the spot. They even straightened out my front reflector before I left. I will definitely be back - they know their stuff and seem like an honest little shop.

This is a story of Goldilocks (Or Brunette-locks) and the Three Bikes.
Some background -- I had been motoring around Vancouver on a 1994 Kona mountain bike - not one that was built for me--for the past 3 years. Uncomfortable handles, terrible gear shifter, painful seat, fugly as sin!
So after a long bike ride a couple of weeks ago, I decided it was time to find myself a new set of wheels, ones that didn't make me wince while riding up hill or downhill or anywhere in between.
So off into the bike wilderness I went equipped with a visa card, a bike helmet and the smallest idea of what I actually wanted: great for city, small hills, and packed trails of the non mountain variety.
At bike shop number one bikes a plenty abounded -- of the ugliest and most expensive variety. Still, I tried out a couple. Perhaps this was what the world had to offer in terms of bikes under $1000. Tan brown and orange...white...black. And a sales person urging me I needed the $800 version with internal gears. Who decided that tan seats (in cars and bikes) were appropriate?
Discouraged by the price and look, I ventured into bike store number two and was greeted by a nicer, larger, slightly more reasonably priced selection of wheels. $600, no internal, and no fenders, carrier (what's this called?) or kickstand. That all would cost an additional $100 or so. Oh, the hybrids they carried at this price point didn't have adjustable handles bars. You just hoped it would fit you. Not bad, but hey, we're closing in 10 minutes, so you'll have to come back if you want to give anything a test run. I guess I'll be back later?
Bike store number three, an Ace in the hole! I should've known better! I'd already bought my helmet from them a couple of years ago and had loved their down to earth service then! I saw my bike as soon as I walked in! I liked her! Pretty colours, reasonably priced $450 and what's that you say? I get a $50 credit towards a carrier and fenders? Just for shopping here? And 10% off of other accessories like locks? And all the tuneups I want and need? I guess Ace Cycle fits me just right...
As for my new ride, I rode her home the long way--past Granville Island, past Science World, through Yaletown and back to the West End...and no wincing here!
And Brunette-locks and Gwennie Junior lived happily ever after :-) -

I wandered into Ace Cycles looking for a birthday present for my brother-in-law, was greeted by friendly staff, and shown a handful of options that perfectly matched what I was looking for.
At the same time, I heard back from a connection on Craigslist, and decided to go with the used bike. I brought it in to Ace Cycles for their $40 basic tune-up (http://www.acecycle.ca...). The mechanic called me to say that one pedal-arm was broken - to see if I'd like it fixed or not.
There are heaps of BIke shops in Kits, but I found the friendly staff, helpful service, and value of going here to be top notch. From what I read, it's been a fixture in the community for ages, and when I'm ready to upgrade my bike I would gladly go there first thing. -

Ace Cycles has always stood for top notch friendly customer service... Bought my beloved GT Zaskar there - they had to special order it in for me and I was like a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive! Best wishes to George and the gang!
