Not good! I called Alpine Bike Works on Friday June 12th. I was told they had one Santa Cruz…read moreMegatower CS X-large bike in stock; however, it was still in the box. I stated that I would be stopping by on the morning of Sunday the 14th to check it out and purchase it. I was told the bike would be ready and waiting for me. I arrived at the shop on Sunday 11am only to discover the bike had not been pulled, unboxed and assembled yet--a process that takes between an hour to an hour and a half. I had just driven 96mi/2 hours to get there only to learn they failed to follow through with having the bike ready & waiting. As I left the shop, the Owner stopped me outside stating that he wanted to "help me". I asked him what exactly he meant by that, to which he responded "I'll have the bike built for you right now." Now, I'm thinking to myself this guy didn't have time to get it right prior to my arrival; yet, suddenly has found the time--My Time--to get it right after my arrival? Really? That's how it's done? I told the Owner I don't do business like this. No reputable business does. Since when did it become acceptable to presume upon a potential customers time? My plans for the day did not include waiting 1 1/2 hours for a bike build. This guy didn't even offer to buy me a cup of coffee while I waited. Furthermore, what prevented them from calling me ahead of time to inform me the bike wouldn't be ready & waiting? They had a day and a half! Also, I couldn't help but wonder as I drove home, if the Owner lost sight of the fact that as a paying customer, I was there to Help him and not the other way around. He needed to sell the bike; I don't need to buy. Lastly, if they can't be counted upon to assemble a bike when they said they would, or at least make a simple heads-up courtesy phone call, then what is there to make me think they can follow through with anything else? I can only imagine the headaches were there to be a warranty issue or a simple return. Not Good! Scott M. Colchester, Vt.

They had great quality women's clothing in a variety of styles and for many occasions. I bought some work-appropriate dresses, a blazer and more casual items, as well.

The women working in both stores were also really helpful in finding things they thought I would like based on what I already had in the dressing room and also just seemed like overall NICE people that appreciated their customers.

Aspies like me understand that no eye contact thing and the talking out loud to yourself. That doesn't mean he's being rude to you. That means you are projecting and being insensitive to a good guy. He worked like mad for me each time I was in. He kept trying to bring me in under budget and explained and even apologized for every minor cost. The world is a wide place and there are lots of different people in it. Get used to it. That's what makes the world more interesting. Local businesses need your support. I will continue to give my support here.

This is mainly a response to some of the other reviews of Green Mountain Cyclery. I'll start by…read moresaying I have never seen Phil outside the shop; ours is only a professional relationship. About 15 years ago, due to a running injury, my Primary Care Physician suggested that I start biking. So I bought a 10 year-old high-end bike on EBAY and when it came, I brought it to the nearest bike shop I could find, Phil Beauchamp's Green Mountain Cyclery. Frankly, I purchased this particular bike it because the manufacturer's name on the bike is the same as my own. And at about 10 years old, it was fairly inexpensive for a bike with Shimano 105/Ultegra components.. I was quick to admit to Phil that I didn't know much, that I had never like biking and my plan was to do this only until my knee had recovered enough so that I could begin running again. He told me that in his experience a lot of runners turned to cycling and that after a while, some even come to like their bikes. This bike (at 53) was a little small for me (at 5'9") and it came partially disassembled in need of some work. I told Phil that I was not a mechanic and that I committed to this bike (besides, I thought, I wouldn't be riding it for very long anyway. Spoiler alert: after another knee injury I turned to cycling full time and averaged about 100 miles/week for the summer). Phil assembled it for a very reasonable price and then watched for a few minutes while I rode it around the parking lot. Then he asked me to come back after closing so he could have the time without interruption to make some adjustments that would make the bike a better fit. It took about an hour with me pedaling on the trainer and Phil making adjustments and explaining what he was doing and why he was doing it. I learned more from Phil during that time than I had in all the reading I had done. And it was free. Since that time, I have purchased two similar bikes for my kids as well as two hard tail mountain bikes, all on Ebay. And in each case, I have asked Phil to assemble and make the proper fit. Each bike remains currently in use and Phil has done all of the routine maintenance (okay, my daughter has had one of the hard tails in Utah for the past year, so I don't know what she's done... Phil boxed it and mailed it to her, again, at a very reasonable price). And sure, I often thought I should buy a Schwinn from Phil, but my name isn't Schwinn. In my experience, Phil is passionate about bikes and he talks rapidly about bikes, sports, news, almost anything. Phil's a reader and very astute. He may not always make warm and comfortable eye contact in conversation and it may be hard to match his intensity, but has never said or done anything in my presence that I would consider to be rude. Sometimes, when he with with a customer, I've had to wait 15 or 20 minutes to get his attention to my issue of the day. But it's always been worth the wait. I have been amazed by Phil's breadth of knowledge as well as his willingness to share it. I learn something every time I go into the store, even some good routes. On the other hand, I have seen people in his shop who understandably want their bikes repaired as quickly as possible behave toward Phil in a way that made me glad I was in a different line of work. About a year ago, I moved about 60 miles away. He did the routine maintenance on my bikes in the spring. Yesterday, I drove to his bike shop, just to show him the bike and ask a few questions. So. If you are patient, if you want to tap into the knowledge base of a gifted bike mechanic for reasonable prices, I would highly recommend Green Mountain Cyclery.
