Timing is everything

One of the things we pride ourselves on is our quick turnaround time for repairs. Many minor repairs can be done while you wait, and lots of others can be ready for you within 24 hours. Even if your bike repair requires ordering parts, we can usually get stuff for you within a few days.

Don’t live on the island? Call ahead and make an appointment. We will work on your bike while you wander around Bainbridge, go to Seattle for the afternoon, or hang out in the store.

We’ll work on nearly every bicycle brand out there, but we have a couple of exceptions:

The Canyon brand seems to think that the world doesn’t need bike shops. They’re pretty obnoxious about it, actually. We might suggest that you send your Canyon back to the factory in Germany to be repaired, no offense.

Some electric bikes have wheel sizes, general heft and custom parts that aren’t found elsewhere in the bicycle world (Radpower has a number of bikes like this), so if we can’t source universal replacement parts from our suppliers or simply fit the wheels into a bicycle wheel truing stand, we won’t be working on it.

Seasonal special $89

While we do work on bikes purchased elsewhere, and will build bikes or install parts that you purchase over the internet, please show us some courtesy.  Bringing in replacement parts (that we already stock) to use during the course of a tune up is tacky.  Shopping for parts at our store, buying them online, and then bringing them in for us to install is really insulting.  Please don’t do it.  Our prices are fair, and reflect the costs of running a bike shop where we live.
