Great little shop with very friendly service and good prices. Wish they were open on Saturday!
Edit: I don't know why I didn't think they were open on Saturday... maybe old COVID hours!

TLDR;
My experience is probably an outlier
Great staff
Really inspect the 300 dollar used green CCM before buying.
Im writing this review 30 mins after my 1-2hour interaction at this store with conflicted and mixed feelings. Firstly the star rating I have given are not a fair representation of the store as a whole but it is as close as I am comfortable giving (2.5 is more accurate). The store should be judged from multiple different facets and not from my one interaction alone (otherwise it would be lower). This includes. customer service, stock and overall quality.

Super quick service for cheap. They take good care of your bike too, so if they notice any essential issues other than why you brought it in to them, they'll fix it up. Brought my bike in to get a new inner tube, and they had it fixed up before I got home. They were generous enough to pump the tires for me aswell, which was fantastic. These people work hard and it shows. Will definitely bring my bike back here if needed (although I'm hoping I won't have to lol)

Great work, quick turnaround even during a busy season. My bike needed a ton of repairs; figured out everything quickly, was able to ballpark a near perfect estimate. Educated me on some aspects of my riding that would keep my bike in better shape longer. All around excellent shop. Thanks for getting my baby back to me!

Then showed me one they hadm walkwd me through what was good about it. Talked to me and showed me how shifiting the gears went. Highly recommended I took it for a test drive to see if it felt right. Needless to say I walked out with a nice bike in my price range and very
