Mr. Pink, all the way from the East Coast!
Alex R.

Fantastic bike shop! From start to finish my experience was what you'd want. Very communicative and got my bike shipped quickly and safely to the West Coast. Looking forward to stopping in the next time I'm in the area. If you live near here, don't waste time! Get in there and check them out.

See all

Does this shop sell BMX bikes theirs no photos of any?

Do they paint bikes?

Hi, Brezzy. We don't paint bikes. If you need, we can disassemble your bike completely (*everything* needs to come off, including some parts that can only be removed with specialized tools) so you can bring it to a frame painter, and we can… Read more

Luckily Nechama was on it, tracked it down and had no problem being upfront and honest with me about it.

Writing a review for a road bike I purchased a few years ago from R&A -- like the reviews note, the…read moreservice is fairly gruff/rude -- however, they were the only store that had the road bike I wanted in stock so purchased. I was all set to purchase, but the mechanic (I believe Luis) had me get on the bike and said I needed to size down. He then did an impromptu fit to get everything dialed in. 3 years later, the bike rides like a dream and is a perfect fit and has brought me years of enjoyment.

My client and I have had a few conversations with RA trying to figure out his next super bike and…read morearound every corner we were disrespected and insulted which is surprising when we are looking at dropping over $20,000 on a bicycle. Unfortunately, for one of his builds, I did use them to get some components that I couldn't source other places and around every corner they drop the ball. We were not notified that parts were on backorder, even though it said when I ordered that they were in stock and would ship within a few days. Another part they ordered the wrong size and along this process, they never let us know what was going on. I had to call to find out why I hadn't received something in a couple weeks and then again to figure out where his stem was. They never returned our calls, which meant I had to take extra time out of my day to call back numerous times. It is unfortunate that they are such a large distributor of Colnago bikes. There's no way I'm going to support this place again. They don't deserve my money and I'm upset about the thousands of dollars I've spent there thus far. It won't happen again.

It's rather sad that when I receive honest, fairly-priced, quality service, it surprises me because…read moreit has become so uncommon. I read numerous reviews praising this shop not only for their excellent service but also for their honorable business practices. Today, I had the pleasure of confirming that every one of those kind words were true in those reviews with the assistance of Sean. As a new rider with limited knowledge about my bike's needs, I made it clear to Sean that I didn't know bikes and told him to do whatever he thought was best. He could have taken advantage of my inexperience and charged me for unnecessary services, but instead, he walked me through exactly what my bike needed and what it didn't. He charged me a very very fair price to fix it right there on the spot. Thank you, Sean, and the team, for reminding me what great service feels like.

I've been going to this shop on and off for years and recently decided to give it another shot,…read morehoping things had improved. Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. While a few staff members have been friendly, there's been a recurring pattern of dismissive and somewhat condescending behavior across multiple visits. Questions and concerns often felt brushed off, and explanations of services -- like what a "free tune-up" actually includes -- were vague or incomplete. There were also several instances where the work itself didn't inspire confidence. A computer mount was left spinning despite being told it was secure, and on another visit, a mechanic refused to use carbon paste on a mount, which didn't feel appropriate for the component involved. What's most concerning is that this wasn't a one-off experience -- it's been a pattern over time. When communication and attention to detail are lacking, it starts to impact both safety and trust, especially on longer rides. Update (Jan 2026): I later found out that a tubeless setup I paid for had barely any sealant in the tires, which explains why a flat wouldn't seal. Another shop had to fix it. At this point, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. I'd recommend double-checking any work before leaving.

Heard that these guys do so I brought my bike here on Sat to get the brakes fixed, wheel trued and some screws tightened. Gave me a $60 quote and an hour wait. Cool, I left the bike there and took a walk to get some money (cash only). 10 minutes after I'd left (15 since I dropped off the bike), got a call saying they were done. Ok, so maybe they're really really good? Well, brakes are fine, wheel not any better, and screws def not tightened. Meh. Got a flat tire Monday night (2 days after my 'tune-up', go figure). Was told $20 and 10-minute wait. Fine. I waited outside for at least 20 minutes. They brought my bike out. Charged me $25. Whatever, it was cold and I needed to get home. Hopped on the bike and started pedaling. Rear wheel locked up. Took another 5 to fix their mistake. Alright. Time to go home. A few blocks down the road, rear fender got loose and started to rattle everytime I hit a bump. And the best part of it? My 8-speed IGH only goes up to 6 now. I agree with the other reviewer. They're definitely taking advantage of people just because they're licensed (?) to work with motorized bikes. Stay away.
