    This is my second visit with my old junker. I've had much trouble trying to buy parts for my 74 Schwinn Varsity conversion. Trouble because many shops within the city want to immediately sell me a new one. Or want to lecture about the dangers of riding a fixed gear. That's not what I get here. The staff has been more than helpful. They scour their parts bins looking for things to keep my wheels going. They're a busy shop and they apologize for it. Please guys, don't. You do a great job. Of all the shops I've been to, Fairmount exceeds my expectations every time. I don't know much about pricing. But they seem fair. And honestly, even if they weren't. You get what you pay for.

    Simple process, great price ($7.00 per hour) and great bikes. If you are not a biker and plan to ride for more then an hour, GET BUTT PADS!!! My poor tushy was in major pain after 2 hours of riding. The credit card hold of $200 per bike seems a bit much as I don't believe the bikes cost that much but hey, what the hell do I know?!?! Pay the money and ride on...

    Darn, I thought that I'd be first to review but Ryan P beat me to it. Finally, a bike shop in Fairmount! This cute little place just opened on 6/12/10 and we stopped in yesterday to take a look. It's a pretty small shop but they have at least a dozen mid-priced bicycles for sale (mainly of the practical variety for around town and errands), one wall of tools & accessories, and they do repairs. The very airy space with high ceilings and brightly-painted walls was quite appealing. Hours are 10-6 during the week, 11-6 on the weekends. Welcome to the neighborhood!

    This is a flower in my yard back in Ohio.

    The place over by boathouse row where I usually go was still closed for the season so we tried this place on Fairmount. Better pricing, better bikes and pleasant service. She didn't make us leave our drivers licenses even! Always better to find a local small business to support too. That place on boathouse row is kind of a tourist trap anyway. So we loved our whole experience.

    Thank you for fixing my tire today. Service was great. I live in Passyunk Square and had a flat on SRT so help was much appreciated.

    I stopped by Frankenstein Bike Worx for the second time around 12:30-1pm today, and my experience…read morewas quite the opposite of the first, which was about 3 years ago with the previous owner. Today I came in with a simple inner tube issue and was met by a staff member who repeatedly insisted that what I had just experienced and witnessed firsthand had not happened. When I disagreed, he dictated that I stop talking and that I had to listen to him. Throughout the interaction, he claimed he was trying to help while heatedly dismissing my concerns and refuting my account then lying to my face about contradicting me. After it became clear that he was not capable of a productive conversation, I left the shop and carried my bike up the stairs to the street level. As I walked away down the block, the staff member followed me outside and shouted that I was "too sensitive." Being pursued with the intent of insulting me after I left was the unprofessional icing on the cake. Based on this experience, customer service here was dismissive, confrontational, and unwelcoming. I won't be back as long as the new customer service model is to gaslight, lie about it, then pursue a customer out to the street to insult them on top of it.

    As stated in other reviews, this place was awful. Walked in with a small electric scooter to buy a…read morelock for and he literally kicked me out. If you don't want an easy sale I'll go elsewhere. Went to Vias on Broad and was treated like a proper customer.

The first tube popped when it was getting inflated, then I had to wait for two other people to be helped before another attempt. Didn't realize until I got home that the tube had a different nozzle than the one I had before so now I can't fill it with my pump. Cherry on top was getting a parking ticket in the mail bc this quick pick up took so long. I guess thank you for the encouragement to learn how to do my own repairs, but felt obligated to share my experience.

He was nice at first, then I asked about tune ups. He said the prices start at 30 and up. So I asked him up to what. He replied $25 million. The shop is a mess. It's littered with bikes everywhere so I questioned where the work gets done since I barely fit in the door. I made a comment from a business side that the store didn't have a good appearance to it not being organized. He told me he just climbs over the mess. Well his attitude totally changed and he basically told me to get out of his shop. I would never have my bike repaired there! If you can't take some feedback in a customer service business. You don't deserve business especially not my business. I'll spend my money someplace else!
