Ride On Bikes

actually, a few more than SOME of the shops I've worked in). I also have a 1000+ item inventory IN STOCK so I can usually fix any problem on the spot. At the same time my inventory also offers a full array of replacement and upgrade parts. I can also do a tune up so it runs like a clock, just ticking away... (assuming no worn or broken parts)

BTW... any parts that are replaced will be "tuned" so that the new part functions as smoothly as possible with the rest of your bike (exceptions apply... yadda, yadda, yadda... call me, we'll talk). Flats... YES... I fix flats... straighten handlebars, tweak brakes, true wheels, tune derailleurs, replace anything, and can build out new bikes even if it's not one you buy from me. Check out the Service section for a detailed list of available repair services. So... you've got that New-In-Box bicycle that you ordered off Amazon sitting there... call me. I'll come to wherever you (and the bicycle) are, and assemble it for you. Here's a scenario you racers might be familiar with... the Crit is on Tuesday... on your Saturday training ride you notice that something with the shifting "just isn't right". You take your bike to your LBS (local bike shop) and they tell you they won't be able to get to it until Wednesday or Thursday... "but the crit's on Tuesday?" Call me. I work evenings, weekends, any weird time that might work to get a tune-up in so you can race on Tuesday. Call 214-646-4906 to set up an appointment. The services I offer:
(anything not listed, call. I probably do it, just that it's not routine)
