ATA Cycle

After doing extensive research (have been looking to buy a new bike for quite some time) and talking to my avid biker friends, I connected with Husam and his assistants to visit them from Chicago. I arranged my trip to go to Boston to get a complete bike fitting with Husam and check bikes and components he has in his store. Husam picked me up from the airport and spent over 2 hours to finish the most comprehensive fitting I have ever had. He provided thorough and logical explanations evaluating my body measurements and other structural details. His frame suggestions were reflecting the measurements and his assessments within my budget and made sense to me. ATA Cycle has an incredible inventory of high-end frames and components that are hard to find easily available these days. Discussing all the details about the recommended frames, all the components, I made my choice and picked the Look 785 Huez RS frame with SRAM Red AXS group set, Lightweight stem & handlebar and Zipp wheelset. I watched the technician building the bike and he was very helpful answering my questions in detail. His assistants provided recommendations regarding other general biking and health related matters which were very useful and one of them came along while I was testing the bike on the road making sure everything was all right. The whole team was so friendly and attentive. They sent the bike next day to Chicago and helped me over the phone to easily put it together so I can start enjoying it. I highly recommend ATA Cycle with Husam and his technical staff for their great inventory of high-end bicycle frames and components, their expert knowledge and customer-oriented service.

I went to ATA looking to buy my first road bike as someone with literally no cycling experience at all. I have incredibly poor flexibility and I tend to get injured whenever I exercise, so I knew I needed a place that could fit me properly. The owner Husam was super nice and first helped me pick out shoes. I'm a huge overpronater and ATA has a machine with lasers you step into that instantly recognized this and output data that made shoe selection and fitting a breeze. I was set up with a great pair of shoes that offered the support I need. Next we started the bike fitting on this one of a kind bike Husam built that he was able to adjust to my specific measurements using a remote. He had me cycle for 10 minutes and reviewed the data with me that showed my left leg was more powerful than my right (and he gave me exercises to get the right leg back in line). ATA specializes in custom built bikes that fit you perfectly. We choose the frame, wheels, gears, etc... and 5 days later I picked up my completed bike. After a few rides, I can safely say the bike fits me great and I look forward to putting many thousands of miles on it in the future. I'll definitely be back in the future when it comes time to upgrade some components or load up on more gear!

Thanks to Husam, I’ve been able to resume vigorous riding after many years. A scoliosis had ended my backpacking and competitive running in my 30’s and it was not until my late 50’s I was able to ride again on a good quality Trek that was professionally fitted elsewhere. Still I was in pain. In desperation, I approached Husam who designed a custom GURU road frame that has given me much joy over the years. At age 74, I have now also purchased a Willier hybrid sight unseen which he was confident he could make work. And it does. Husam sets the highest standards for himself and is very customer focused. I have ALWAYS found his recommendations to pay off, no matter my initial hesitation. I am indebted to him and his staff for my regaining an athletic life.

If you are riding a bike that you suspect or know for a fact is keeping you from fully enjoying cycling and you are ready to invest in the bike of your dreams, you should pay a visit to ATA Cycle. Then expect to be very pleased and impressed that you made such a smart decision. When I decided in December to buy a new bike, I began reading everything I could to make an informed purchase. In no way did I want a salesperson making my decisions for me. However, I soon realized that I couldn’t possibly learn everything I wanted to know by spring. I needed to find someone who I could trust. It was at this point that I found ATA Cycle. The wonderful reviews (for which I am so grateful) and the shop’s informative website persuaded me to schedule a fitting with Husam. It turned out to be the most excellent decision and the rest is history. Husam and his technicians built me a custom bike that is fit perfectly to me. It is beautiful, of the highest quality, and an absolute joy to ride. I’d like to believe that my cool-headed and rational approach led me to this point, but I suspect that some luck and magic were also involved (I’m only half kidding!). Everything that other reviewers rave about ATA Cycle and the people that work there is absolutely true. They not only made me the bike of my dreams but also the bike to pursue my dreams. With any luck I will be riding it in good health in the company of good friends for many years. I would challenge anyone to have a better experience somewhere else.
