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 couple 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 and custom parts that aren’t found in the bicycle world (Radpower has a couple of bikes like this), so if we can’t even fit the wheel in a truing stand, we won’t be working on it.

Seasonal special $85

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 your own replacement parts for us 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. Trying to avoid sales tax?  Please keep in mind that sales tax helps pay for the infrastructure and services that we all use.
