    Old but still a good back up bike.

    Took my old Jamis bike in just to get re-cabled after shitting my moms garage for years. Rather than just saying don't have the time he said it's old u need a new bike $400 just for new cables. Took it back home to Miami got all new cables, new grips, 2 new tubes and new chain for $219 including tip!

    PAINTING THE CANVAS: Chainwheel Drive has been my bike shop of choice since I moved to Florida in 2001. Initially, I was a regular customer at the Clearwater location. After a year I had moved closer to the Palm Harbor location so, I shifted my business to their location at US 19 and Tampa Road. SERVICE: This location has a service department that I feel a second to none. I usually work on my own bikes but when I'm short on time this would be where I would go to drop my bike off. Over the years their professionalism in servicing my bike has led me to more routine checkups, cable Replacements, brake adjustments, wheel truing then I would have normally had submitted my bike to. If I have to compliment one specific person it would be Bruce, in service. That's my go-to Guru. STOCKED: This location is well-stocked in ready to go bicycles as well as frames, tools, safety equipment, nutritional supplements and food. Everything you need to roll out of the store can be found here, no matter if you plan to do it on a road bike, a mountain bike, hybrid, e-bike... You get the idea. NOT YOUR AVERAGE BEAR: The bottom line is most bike shops are just that. Bike-shop ... and they are similar to the next one down the road. I truly like that Chainwheel Drive challenges and defeats that stereotype. They are not just like any other bike shop. That is in part due to the quality of products and the dedication of their employees to their customers. MENTAL BLING: Going the extra mile doesn't take a whole lot in this world but, once you go that extra mile... Man, it's so appreciated. Doesn't matter what you do or who you are, in this case it's Chainwheel Drive simply keeping an updated Event Board and doing things such as offering their trademark Bicycle 101 Clinics... in a related note, I love running into the crew manning the sizable booth, I'm not even sure if that's a proper term, at the Saint Anthony's Triathlon Expo - if you haven't been down there to check this out, you need to and you don't need to be in the triathlon or even a triathlete to appreciate all the time and effort that they put into getting everything down there and set up... Yep...These are just three examples of the shiny gems or "bling", if you will... that I think about from time to time. and As I said, this is simple but, they do require proper planning and a decent mental effort is precisely what Chainwheel Drive puts forth to ensure that these are quality experiences. SHOWING MY CARDS: Now, I'll tell you a little bit of something that I haven't revealed much... and that is how my first experience at Chainwheel Drive went down. 2002: I was residing nearby and I decided to go check out CwD. I didn't need anything but, I wanted to see if I would be judged like I had been at various shops up north, in Hawaii and even at a place on the trail in Tarpon. I'm not sure what employees think they're accomplishing in judging their customers and treating them differently based on perhaps whether I'm a regular customer or not... The type of car I drive up in or the clothing that I'm wearing. So I specifically dug through my closet found a pair of jeans that should have been bound for the trash about 40 washings ago and I cut the legs off them with a dull knife, fraying the ends. Next, I tossed on an old t-shirt I had recently used to paint the house in and some flip flops. Well, the joke was on me... I walked into the shop and I was treated as well as I could have expected to have been treated had I been royalty. FIRST VISIT EPITAPH: When I returned home my girlfriend asked me how it went and I said, I think I found my shop... And I've been there ever since. HONEST ACCOLADES: Thanks Tom and Dottie (owners) your shops have been, are and will forever be nothing short of the quality one desires to find when seeking a new go-to bike shop when you are in a new town.. Your business sets the example of that which other shops strive to emulate and many, in my experiences, fall short in achieving. Bravo to you both and to all of your staff for a job well done. PS: I apologize for the lower than deserved star-rating, as it was my intention to give you SIX stars out of FIVE but, for some reason Yelp prohibits that. :-)

I'm so glad I did. I was able to get advice on a new bike for my son, and recommendations in all different price ranges and colors. I settled on a cool green and black 'cruiser' style and it is super cool! Come to find out when I paid, I bought my wive's bike here 5 years ago and they still had all of my information on record. Folks were friendly and willing to have me come back later if they didn't have what I wanted in stock as well. Seeing that it was around the holidays I grabbed the bike and went on my way. Best thing? My son's old bike they were willing to donate for me as well. Great experience and now should I go back to get another bike for myself?

It took me three trips there, but finally convinced it was the right move. Forward months later; could not have asked for better guidance through the buying process. He was very reliable, honest and up front, not "salesy". Forward even further; their service is also top notch! Man, I am seriously lucky to have found such a solid resource. The Trek name is awesome, product awesome and now add service, customer service and real-world practical knowledge is awesome. Cannot give higher praise, thank you guys!
