What a gem!
If you're looking for an honest-to-goodness, non-pretentious bike shop- this is your place!
Joe, the guy who runs the place, is a total sweetheart, ethical business person, and excellent bike mechanic. I found the prices for tune-ups and bike parts/accessories to be extremely fair and the service was outstanding.
Joe did a very thorough, careful tune-up on my bike last fall including a partial overhaul of the breaks and new wheels and tires. My bike came back to me spit-shined, carefully adjusted, and in perfect working order. I waited about four days and I brought my bike in on a walk-in. When I visited to see the work being done on my bike, I could see the care and hard work that Joe was putting into my bike and he asked for a lot of feedback from me about how I use my bike, how I wanted things adjusted, and my preferences for the parts he would be using. Joe is super friendly and helpful and he didn't make me feel intimidated at all in the way that cool, breezy macho bike folks can sometimes alienate the average rider.
From our talks, Joe was pretty open to trading- swapping out old parts for new ones and counting the cost of the old part towards the new one if he can reuse and re-sell it. He has some very good quality basic parts for sale at incredibly low prices- a new set of light aluminum wheels and grippy, streamlined tires for my road bike cost approx $140. I paid very reasonable prices for parts (grip tape etc) and there was no installation fee, all labour on my bike was covered under the $35 tune-up charge.
At the time, I was considering purchasing a new bike saddle from the shop.. Jo has these really great Brooks style leather saddles that are italian knock-offs and he charges about $40 for them, if i remember correctly. Very cool. Kindof wish I had bought one.. I think I need to go back!
