I didn't know bicycle part terminology. In minutes my bicycle crank arm was replaced and i rode home. These guys are devoted to friendly quality service

I stopped in just to get a replacement kickstand for two of my bicycles and Mark seems to be a really friendly and knowledgeable guy. I would definitely recommend going there you need any repairs done and I plan on going back for more parts and potentially another bike.

Questions & Answers

I want to change my handle bars on my 27inch bike to straight handle bars. Can you give me an idea how much it would cost to change them?

Patrick Valentine | Sep 19, 2020

If you went with inexpensive used bars and stem, plus levers and cables, it would probably run around $30 or so in parts and $20 labor. Selection of specific ones would depend on where you want them to end up, position wise.

Do you do "tune ups" on bicycles? My bikes need to be looked at because we haven't used them in some time?

We do do tune ups. We operate with an all-volunteer skeleton crew of mostly ex-shop mechanics. We're down one mechanic for the coming week, and don't have a ton of room at our shop. For that reason, it would be good to do one bike at a time if you have more than two. We're fairly reasonably priced with a turn around time of a week or so right now. We don't have a huge inventory of parts, so sometimes there is a wait to get certain parts. Tuesday and Thursday 3-6, Sat. 11-2.

Can you guys convert an old road bike into a single speed?

Probably. Easier if it had horizontal dropouts. Otherwise it may need a "singulator" to deal with chain tension. We have limited hours due to Covid-19. We're there Tues and Thurs 3-6 pm (closed Thanks giving)

Do you sell tandem bikes

We are a non-profit bicycle group that operates a small repair shop to cover some of our expenses. We sell bicycles that people donate and we totally refurbish and sell at reasonable prices. We DO happen to have a decent tandem at the moment a Burley Samba, I believe in a Medium size. The stoker (rear) is an "X"frame (sort of 'women's") and the Captain (front) standard diamond frame. Color was black as I remember. It's in our storage area, as it's a bit long to have in our small street-level shop. $350. We are just gearing up operations with still limited hours and strict CDC guidelines in place. You can call Tues-Thurs 5-6 or Sat. 12-2 for more info or to arrange an appointment. 860-249-3990.
