While the staff are nice enough, I Really cannot say that the service I received here was…read moresatisfactory. I had them refresh my tubeless setup, look at my dropper post, and replace my drivetrain. The latter was done well. However, 33.3% is a failing grade. Upon pickup Only 1 tire had a tubeless refresh because "I didn't want to do it through the tire" followed by a criticism of my bike's tubeless valves because they require a full refresh rather than the easy way of taking out the valve core and throwing new sealant in with the old sealant. Finally, the actuation switch on my dropper post was split. instead of getting me a picture of the serial #, to get a warranty started they took a pic of the damage (1.5 inches away from said serial number) then reinstalled it after charging me for new cables/housing that they knew would NOT fix the issue, knowing as well that to get it resolved I would have to redo the work I had just paid them to do for convenience sake. For $310 I would really expect better

I cannot recommend this place. Each time I have been there it has led to regret. The air of…read morearrogance there is a long standing issue. A number of other reviews cite the same. My last trip there was to address a bottom bracket issue that I was unable to resolve. I feel like they turned my issue over to a newbie tech who tightened my bottom bracket way beyond specs. I didn't find this out until I had to remove the bottom bracket myself. The issue was finally resolved with a new crank set, still overall, not particularly satisfied with the service or attitude when I go there.

Here's the revised Yelp review with Ian properly credited and that detail woven in naturally:…read more Buying a bike from Goldfinch Cyclery back in August turned out to be a fantastic decision. We had just moved to the area, and someone recommended Goldfinch when I mentioned I was looking for a new bike. I'm so glad I listened. I test-rode a couple of bikes at first and honestly wasn't in love with the initial options. Ian, who helped me, never rushed me or tried to push a sale. His focus was clearly on making sure I ended up with the right bike for Eastern Iowa riding--not just any bike. He eventually recommended a Kona they had on display that was already outfitted with excellent tires and some really nice upgrades. I took it out for a ride and immediately loved it. Even though I own other bikes, this is the one I keep reaching for--I've been riding it consistently ever since. What really stood out was that I never felt "sold to." Goldfinch is all about matching you with the right gear, whether that's the right bike, accessories, or equipment. They did a great job getting everything dialed in and even threw in a couple of extras, which was a thoughtful touch. We've been back several times since to look at bags and other gear, and every visit reinforces why I like this shop. They remember my name, they're genuinely friendly and personable, and it's clear they truly care about the cycling community in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City area. If you're looking to buy a bike or want a shop that puts cyclists first, I highly recommend Goldfinch Cyclery.

I so appreciate Lillian taking the time to help me pick out a bike I knew I would be happy with…read more She was in no hurry for me to make a decision and nor was I. I got to test drive a bike on a trail and even rented a bike for several days to try out. I know without a doubt I chose a good bike for me. And then she surprisingly pulls out a color I love at the conclusion of our deliberation. I'll eventually buy another bike so when I have a friend over there's no excuse not to take a ride! My dear avid biker son, who is no longer here, liked working with Gold Finch and now I know why. The kindness of the people who work there is worthy of mention also. Happy to support this small local business!

Do not do business with this guy! ***MICHAEL DORVAL SCAMS SENIOR CITIZENS!***…read more My 81yo dad met Mike at a bike show in Pittsburgh earlier this year. My dad was looking for some bike parts and Mike said that he would be able to track them down for him, asking my dad to mail him a check for $205 and a list of the bike parts in question. He promised that he'd get the parts sent out in the mail as soon as he found them. So my dad sent the check on 9/18/24, Mike cashed it on 9/24/24, and then nothing -- two and a half months later with no bike parts or any real explanation. My dad's called Mike several times and was given weak excuses (been busy, slipped his mind, lost my dad's address, etc...), but still has no bike parts and no apology for cashing the check and never sending anything out. Now Mike Dorval isn't even answering his phone and my dad's wondering if he'll ever get the bike parts (or at least his money back). Mike is a crook and a con artist who clearly has zero conscience if he's okay with ripping off an elderly Vietnam Veteran.

I have purchased three bikes, and have referred a number of friends who have purchased bikes from Hall's. They have a great selection of bikes in every price range. From kids bikes to enthusiasts road and mountain bikes. The staff is very knowledgeable and are keen to help find the bike that is geared to your abilities and riding style. The service department is staffed by some excellent mechanics. Recently they have had a great turn around time on repairs and service. It is not unusual to drop off your bike early and have it ready that afternoon. They have a larger selection of clothing and accessories than in the past, and now offer bike rentals for folks visiting town. The location downtown, just off the bike trail is great. All things considered, I'm always heading to Hall when I need something for my bike(s).
