I have to give a shout out to the village cycle center…read more I've been getting increasingly into cycling over the last couple years as it seems to be the only kind of fitness that doesn't absolutely wreck my body. And at the end of last season I decided it was time to upgrade the fx3 (which I also got from VCC during covid). Now for the last 8 months I've been browsing trek.com, specialized.com, reddit, facebook marketplace, etc., trying to get a sense of what I want. I'll say considering most bike manufacturers have a large range of bikes for each model, the marketing folks then don't do a particularly great job explaining the differences. Enter VCC. I stopped by because I wanted to know if I was 56 or 58cm, with a plan to go buy used in the approximate $2000 range. My man Tim spent maybe 2-3 hours with me walking me through the entire range of trek road bikes, teaching me the differences among the gearsets, alloys used in the frames, the brakes, etc. It really made me confident in terms of zeroing in on the bike that would fit my needs. And it just so happened they had a prior year model at a price that was close-ish to my original budget (lol). Walked home with a new Domane SL5, and now something like 6 weeks and 500+ miles later I'm a pretty happy camper.

I was told that that was unnecessary and to just drop in. as soon as I arrived I wheeled my bike to the repair shop area. Sarah assessed the bike and started working on the rear tire right away. She ended up replacing the intertube and the intertube lining. The total cost was $17. At this shop they have a lot of accessories, helmets, baskets for your bike. They also had paddings for your bike and other parts to include security measures. Super neat looking messenger bikes and other mountain bikes and beach cruisers for sale at this shop. I was suggest you come take a look if you're in the market for a new bike. Very happy with my experience at this shop. Good to know they are right next to Pilot Brewing. So you could always drop your bike off and grab a brew or kobucha while they're working on your bike. I have another bike that needs a little touch up. I will definitely be bringing it back for Sarah to take a look.

Thats was his exact word, "indefinitely". My husband received a call from the bike shop 3 weeks ago and told the bike shop we would pick up the bike within a month. We went to pick up the bike today and was told the bike is no longer there. I understand it took us a long time to actually pick up the bike, it was due to my health issues. But the same person who told us the bike is no longer there is the same person who told us we could leave it there indefinitely when we put the deposit down. And today he was spiteful and pissy about it. He didn't acknowledge it was him that said they would hold the bike. I'm not upset they no longer have the bike because i know it was a year but he was dismissive and rude and there was no need for it especially since we would've considered purchasing another bike.

In response to the (mostly) positive reviews to this place, I trusted them to provide quality…read moreservice. My rating is due to bike service issues, not personnel. The workers were what you'd expect as far as being nice - but the mechanics are amateur at best. After my first disappointment with their routine "maintenance service", I wanted to give them another shot with my brakes. After all, I yearn to have a good relationship with a local bike shop. And sadly, it's a bigger disappointment than my first visit. I asked for them to bleed both brakes. I received a call saying they're "fine" and suggested NOT bleeding brakes; but the pads and rotors were caked in oil and other residue (I cleaned them both 3 days ago). But I figured you gotta trust the pros, right? Wrong. I figured they'd replace the pads, clean the rotors and call it a day. After all, I hadn't sanded the pads this past time and they are getting old (10 months). Nope, just VERY poorly sanded the existing brake pads, cleaned the rotor below my normal standard and was charged nearly $50. For that. To sand 4 little brake pads and (presumably) apply some rubbing alcohol to the rotors. $50. Look at the picture of the brake pads after they serviced them. Lmao. I could have done that for $2 at home since all I need is a little more rough sand paper. Ha. And no, it didn't help my brakes at all. They produced very little friction, we're extremely loud and there was even a clicking noise from my drivetrain on my ride home I haven't even diagnosed yet. I just had to write this review. Ha. Should have just told them to screw off and bleed the damn brakes. To me, it's simple. This is a classic big city bike shop that is money hungry. $50 for that is LAUGHABLE. I could take this to my hometown bike shop and for that money they'd do a bleed, drivetrain clean, fork pressurization, frame clean, etc. And after all that, I still need my brakes bled. They didn't do it. Ha. EDIT: Attached is the video of my new wheel sound! I think it's just the dork disk, but still.
