I'm really getting into this, when I shop I now approach the experience as a YELPER. I met Julian and his girlfriend riding in Turnbull Canyon this week, so I decided to give his shop a try. I have to admit, it might be a bit difficult to find if you're not paying attention to the addresses on both sides of the top of the archway you have to drive through. So look for the blue van with tons of bicycle stickers on it and pull into the driveway, it's worth the trouble. Ok here's the deal I went to buy a sram red rear derailleur "i know pricing right" not so, Julian quoted me 250.00 on the trail, the other guy Oscar offered to me for 225.00 cash out the door. It was last years model, but i don't really care about spending twice as much for the 2014 model. I started looking around and noticed a Fuji Nevada 1.5d also last years model for 550.00 cash o.t.d. My girlfriend has been hinting around that she wants a new road bike, so here's what I did, I got her the Fuji removed the suspension fork and installed a new carbon fiber fork and now she has a really nice 27 speed urban style road bike WITH HYDRO DISC BRAKES. Sorry guys, I had to pass on the Sram this time. the shop is small, but pretty busy, some jerky internet price comparers guys came in, Julian matched the price and told him their order would be in the next day, the guy complained about having to leave a deposit, Julian reminded him that he would have it quicker than if he purchased off the web and he would also have to pay for the order in full online. I was impressed, I would have not handled as well as he did, he was patient, polite, and satisfied the customer. It looks like they must have a pretty loyal customer base of serious riders, cause a bunch of guys were outside, some on bikes and other drove in and just hang around talking bikes and other wild fishing type bicycle stories. You know I did this on that trail, and rode my 1st. century when I had two broken legs. I really had fun spending my money there, felt very welcomed and also hung around for about a 1/2 hour. Both of the guys seemed well liked by the community, kids rolled by on scooters, bmx bikes, fixies, and skateboards to say hi and use their customer pump instead of paying .75 cents at the AM/PM down the street. One kid asked if someone could pump up his tire, and Oscar's answer made everyone laugh. The kid pumped up his own tire. The Pros It's not a big box super store type bike shop good solid knowledgable customer service backed by years of riding experience great prices across the board especially the closeout stuff a fun place to hangout and talk bikes with other riders really good prices on special orders if you can wait a day or two it's a neat little neighborhood local type shop they have a water bowl for the dogs, which my little Jackie Russell enjoyed The Cons they don't stock a tons of expensive components, but neither does Performance if you need it today, call first to check their stock * they explained why - if it doesn't move quickly, they can't afford to have it collect dust if a customer wants a higher end part they can offer it at much lower price if they special order it for them it can be hard to find for some the 1st. time they're closed Sun & Mon - Julian explained they used to be open 7 days, but Sun & Mon increased the operating cost too much, since they are pretty slow days for the shop I try to support small businesses whenever possible - I'll be back soon. read more

I found this place on craigslist around a year ago, they offer p/u & delivery service for 20.00 I found the service to be fast and affordable. I used to go Jax & Jones but the p/u & delivery service makes fixing my bikes a lot easier. For 90.00 I had my road bike and my "BAR HOPPING BEACH CRUISER" tuned up. 45.00 road bike 25.00 beach cruiser 20.00 p/u & delivery service. If you're looking for a new place to have your bicycles service, give this place a try. The owner's lives in Belmont Shore, I see him on 2nd. st. and the River Bed Bike Path. read more

My boyfriend took me there a couple of years ago, he's gone and I'm still going there for all my bicycle needs. Oscar & Julian are really friendly guys, the ride from my house in Belmont Shore is well over is worth it. Please be aware - it can a little tricky the 1st. time, it's in an industrial complex kinda in the back. If you're running late, they'll usually wait for you. I'm saving up to buy a Mountain Bike soon, I think it's time to start getting dirty. I'm just a ROADIE now. read more

Julian is awesome. I broke a spoke and he had me in and out in minutes - and my bike felt great afterward. He even adjusted parts, relubed the chain and cleaned up the frame - all for just an emergency repair! Oh, do make sure you drive back inside the complex - he's in the second building back on the right. Great place! read more

Wanted a bike shop that can give me service at an affordable price. Not only do they charge less for a tune-up ($45!) than most bike shops, they got my bike dialed in perfectly. On top the of the great service, they also have great deals on all of my favorite Mountain Bike Products. Thanks! read more

Really cool little shop!!! All the guys there ride - so they know what they're doing. Great prices and service. I got a couple of bikes for me and my son, easy purchase ***free tune up***, and fun experience every time I've been back. read more
