This cycle shop is attractive and full of nice gear. However, I am giving them one star because of their service. If you want to over-pay for all services and get mechanics who don't get things right the first time and talk down to you, go for it. But I won't be back. AT DIAMOND CYCLE, THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG. Here's my short list: 1. They shamed me unpleasantly into agreeing to get a tune up, but only revealed the extremely high price after I'd committed ($79 versus the $30 I paid at the bike shop in the city I just moved away from). I should have walked out then, but they already had my bike and my details and I wasn't comfortable enough to do it when there were three of them staring me down. I recognize my own mistakes in this, but I am mainly frustrated with their not-so-nice sales technique. 2. They never called to say when the bike was finished, despite promising to do so. 3. They couldn't find the bike when I called to check up on it - had to call me back after searching for an hour. 4. They over-tightened my breaks to an unsafe level and let me leave the shop like that, causing my bike to catapult me through the air and land on the sidewalk the first instant I tapped on the breaks (about 20 feet from the shop). I got cuts and bruises all over (and my back is out now which seems related). Then when I went back into the shop, they refused to acknowledge that it was their fault or to fix the problem. (I loosened the breaks myself when I left again, but it's the principle of it that they should have been willing to do that) Instead the mechanic made me feel like an idiot and acted like it was my own fault I fell. He even explained how to use the breaks appropriately! What? That is the first time I have ever fallen on this bike, the first time I've fallen since I started bike commuting several years ago. I would just like to point out that when the bike was brand new the breaks were NOT THAT TIGHT. I slammed on my breaks in traffic many times and was NEVER catapulted through the air like that before. I'm sorry, but they can't try to convince me that one of their mechanics didn't over-tighten the breaks. Frankly, it is dangerous for the breaks to be that tight. At my old bike shop they would test the bike for you to make sure all the settings were good before you got it back. That is just courtesy, right? 5. The final straw was them trying to convince me my seat might be too high, when it is at exactly the perfect height for my legs. It was like a final slap in the face after everything else. Why would they assume that I don't know the right setting for my bike seat when I have been riding comfortably at that height for years? I've been a bike commuter for several years, ride over 2000 miles a year, and have taken some bike repair classes. Diamond Cycle could have slightly more respect for their customers' opinions about their own bikes. read more

I'm pressed for time here but feel I need to say, I live in North Jersey and when it was time for a new road bike, I visited just about every bike shop in the Northern part of Jersey looking for my perfect fitting road bike. My budget was around 2,000 dollars and when looking at bikes in that range you would think a bike shop would take the time to carefully fit you on a bike. None of them did. The last shop I visited and ended up buying my bike from was Diamond Cycle. Craig did not show me what he had to sell, instead he measured me, arms, legs, torso, etc. Afterwards he explained that I was a 56cm. Size which he did not have but could order and have it in 2 days. He had plenty of beautiful bikes in 52, 54, 58, 60cm. He said even though I measured a 56, he would still have to make some modifications to the length of the stem, seat, and bars at no extra charge. Long story short, I have logged over 3,000 miles on my Cannondale synapse carbon and feel it fits me as if it were custom made. I have gone back 3 or 4 times for minor adjustments and Craig literally has dropped everything to take care of me without having me wait. (Something I totally appreciate but don't expect him to do) I went back and bought my daughter a new bike and got the same great treatment. I think this shop is the best shop in the tri-state area. I have reccomended them to dozens of cyclists in my riding club. Craig- You are a gentleman and thank you for making my cycling experience a positive one. read more

So, I had this old durable bike, which I thought was the greatest thing since Swiss cheese. As is usual at the start of cycling season I needed to get it fixed up. I did some reviewing and found Diamond Cycle. I walked in and the shop looked amazing... my eyes went shopping along the wall and landed on this Cannondale. Vinnie introduces himself and doesn't push a sale on me at all. He asks what I was there for and we begin going over my bike. Vinnie shows me some things, but in his demeanor I saw a fellow cyclist that felt I needed something better. I asked him, "If it was you, would you fix this bike?" He said emphatically, "No!" He then asked did you wanna get something new and I said yes. he walks through the showplace and says, I think something like this would be good for you." It was the exact Cannondale I scanned when I walked in. What happened next is what I now consider the best customer service experience I ever was a part of. Vinnie had initially said that my frame was far too small and I had no idea what he meant. As so many people do, I based that bike on what I had scrapped as knowledge from riding BMXs as a kid. I ended up being there for about 4 hours, during which time this man put together three different bikes, adjusting them to my body, so I could learn what size frame I should ride. I ended up getting an XL Cannondale Quick 4. This guy is a treasure! Didn't forget about you Vinnie read more

So funny reading that Craig (the owner) is a dick in that previous review. He really is and he must know it. Recommending to anyone with eyes and ears to NOT go there. For the beginner bicyclist there are a ton of shops to go to in the area that will have better pricing and customer service. For the more advanced rider, you may have to travel a bit but it will be worth it to be treated with respect and sincerity. I am not usually a reviewer, but i do read them and I am so mad right right now on the way i was treated there that I HAVE to spread the word to never go to that shop if you want any sort of deal or even to be treated like a real person. My experience with the shop and front desk and the OWNER caused me to lash out in a public way, and for that I am truly sorry as it is also not my style, but even that was handled with Craig pointing his finger in my face and threatening me. I have been in the customer service field for my whole adult life and I have never been treated that way or treated even the most irate customer/ client that way. Unheard of. Wow for a small bike shop they really think they are bigger than their britches and for that they deserve the worst marks in my book. good luck. read more

Craig at Diamond Cycle listened to my goals, needs and had the patience and time for my multiple visits / discussions and assembled a new E-Bike for me. This new bike represents a quantum change in new technology and riding experience from my old road bike of 40 years. Diamond had / has the instore bike inventory for me ride different options - frame size - peddle assist - to experience other features to focus my decision making. Craig is conversant with the nuance of local, state (NJ-NY-PA) and Federal regulations for E- Bike trail and off road opportunity which were made statutorily "in effect" and clarified as recent as July & September of 2019. The price was very fair and I have found my new go to - local bike shop". The other members of the team are also extremely nice, knowledgeable and responded to my plethora of questions - they encouraged me to hang out to observe ongoing bike repairs so I can assume greater personal responsibility, independence and ability to maintain my bike and make decisions going forward. I highly recommend that you visit Diamond Cycle in Montclair NJ if you are looking for a bike. read more

This is the best bike shop around. I drive 45 minutes each way to get there so that Chris And I can work on my Handcycle. I have big goals of competing in the Paralympics and the highest level of competitions. Because of my disability, as I get stronger Chris constantly has to modify the bike to meet my needs! He is so professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and willing to think outside of the box. His attention to details is amazing, and he really cares for each rider that comes into the store. If you want something explained he'll take the time and make sure you are satisfied. At this point, I'm proud to call him a friend and I FULLY trust him. If I could I'd take Chris and Diamond Cycle to each competition for support! Absolutely amazing! Would highly highly recommend! If you want quality, and knowledge and most importantly a bike that will fit you well- look no further!! These guys are amazing! read more

This bike shop is the BEST!!! I was in the market for an electric bike. I did extensive research on-line and visited a number of north Jersey bike stores before deciding to do business with Craig and the others at Diamond Cycle on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair NJ. I was able to "test-drive" a couple of their electric bikes. With their guidance, I selected a really cool power-on-demand ELECTRIC BIKE (to assist my aging knees on hilly terrain) along with the perfect THULE BIKE RACK. They assembled my new bike, they have serviced my old std. bikes, they have installed my new bike rack on my vehicle, provided instruction/training without rushing me, and even provide pick-up and delivery (within reasonable distance). Their pricing is competitive and the professional and friendly service cannot be beat! So glad I found this business that takes pride in their products and values their customers! read more

From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome and takes the time to understand exactly what you need--whether it's a new bike, accessories, or repairs.

The attention to detail and quality of work really shows. They also have a great selection of bikes and gear for all levels, from beginners to serious riders. Fair pricing, honest recommendations, and excellent workmanship make this shop my go-to place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable service and expert advice! read more

I just bought a new bicycle from Diamond Cycle. From the minute I walked in the door I felt extremely welcome. (This was not the case with the two other bike stores I visited earlier that day.) I was immediately greeted by Vince DiGeronimo and he spent the better part of two hours trying to find the bike that would fit me perfectly and fall within my budget. He was very patient with me as I asked many questions and he gave me plenty of information to make a well-informed decision. I absolutely love my bike and am glad I ventured out one more time that day because I happened upon this wonderful store. read more

Trust!!!!! Diamond Cycle Center to ship your bikes anywhere!!!! I had to ship my son's handcycle bike and 5 spare wheels to another state for an event next week. Chris had to reassemble the bike and packed the handcycle bike and parts to made sure my son would get it in time for the event.The box dimensions were: 66 x 24 x 30, so you can imagine the task. Chris even referred me to a company that would ship this size box because it was too large to get shipped with a bike company. Thank you so much Chris for all your help ;-) p.s. check out the image below read more

Great experience at Diamond Cycle in Montclair. I have been here multiple times over the past year and have regularly received top notch service for my high end road bikes. Chris is a bike repair wizard and has saved me some money on a few occasions by offering cost effective solutions instead of leading me to pay for unnecessary parts or services. Excellent communication and courteous as well. I have experienced downright rudeness from other bike shop (not at Diamond Cycle) representatives when asking for basic questions or information. read more

This is the BEST bike shop around. Stop buying online talk to a person instead. Craig the owner was really helpful. I think the one reveiw that was bad, most likely was from a competitior, too bad as I believe they are very safe and is really great with their customers. Customer service is a 5 Star. Support our local stores, without them, mainstreet is gone and talking to a person will only be virtual. Diamond Cycle is the best bike shop on the East Coast (and maybe beyond)- and they are celebrating 100 years, that's sustainable! read more

Courteous & knowledgeable staff. Craig helped explain the difference b/w a Brompton and other foldable bikes, like a Dahon. He suggested & explained the options to consider for selecting the parts for the Brompton, which was very helpful. Aaron helped me with selecting the right helmet, and explained the differences b/w the construction of various helmets. It was a pleasant experience shopping at Diamond Cycle. I highly recommend this place. read more

AWESOME BIKE SHOP! I just purchased my Cannondale mountain bike from Diamond Cycle and I couldn't be happier! I can not stress enough how much help the entire staff was in guiding me. They let me take numerous test rides and never rushed me or tried to upsell me on a bike. They were truly concerned that I was happy with my purchase. Craig, Lou and Emo are serious bikers who are very knowledgeable and friendly. You guys rock! Cheers, Gary read more

Just completed my first sprint tri this past weekend and I have to say, thanks to Diamond Cycle, I got my fastest 12mi ride till date on my 2019 Giant Contend SL 1. Chris was a huge help, also extremely knowledgeable about the bikes and the sport. From fitting the bike for a multi-sport function to sharing a bunch of tips and tricks, Chris was great. I am extremely satisfied with my bike. read more

These folks really helped me feel confident in my purchase. They helped me find a foldable bike that was within my budget and suited my needs. What I was most impressed about was their level of pride they took in the bikes they chose to sell. Quality comes first here and it shows. read more
