I was in getting a wheel trued one week and when I returned other next they remembered my name and were super helpful. A super nice touch was the $1 off coupons they hand out for the coffee shop next door so you can get some brew while you wait. A great LBS that has won my loyal business.

I got so lucky to find BR Bikes, who responded quickly and in less than 15 minutes I was at their place of business looking at bikes. They made the effort to help me find a good bike to fit, even if that meant getting one for me. The best part was that they delivered the bike to my home, offered me a 30 day warrantee and the bike was affordable!!!!! Extremely responsive and tech savvy.

Once I got there, lugging my bike with me, I am told that they do not have any such parts in stock. When I mentioned my earlier phone call, the owner became aggressively rude, all but calling me a liar. "I said no such thing!" All he had to do was appologize for the inconvenience, maybe adding that there may have been a miscommunication. But instead he tries to gaslight me. Not cool. Stay clear of this nasty place.

First,…read morethey could not fix the shifting problem, and I was ok with that since it is a bike I don't do serious riding on and it just wouldn't shift into the highest gears. When I go to pick it up the handlebar bag is missing off the bike and the bars have new grip tape. I ask where the bag is and they couldn't find it. It had to be taken off when the new grip tape was installed. They say they will look for it. Long story short is when I called back to see if they found they said they looked everywhere for it and couldn't find it. Then they asked if it was in my car, really. I said to them, so it sounds like I'm out of luck and the response was yep. I'll find another shop next time for sure.

I bought a bike from Bruce back in the early 1980s, and foolishly left it behind during an…read moreinternational move. I was back in Urbana for a day and thought i might check in. Say hello, and consider a new bike. The shop is not in condition to open. There is junk on the floor one would have to step over starting 3 feet into the shop and going back forever. The sign on the door made mention of a pandemic order from three years ago. I asked at other nearby businesses, and was told he'd had some health issues. I hope he can find his way back to health and work, because he does know about bicycles. I'm thinking of you, Bruce!

Just. Don't. Bother…read more I knew ahead of time that Bruce was known for being really abrasive. I didn't care as long as he was able to fix my bike. He mostly did... eventually. His hours are horrendous (3hrs a day) and he's not always there during the posted times (happened to me twice!). As everyone knows, he's intentionally rude. I called after not hearing anything for over a week and he rattled off some excuse and hung up on me. When I finally went in to pick up my bike he had already done extra work that we hadn't discussed and charged me for it. And the pièce de résistance...the front brake is now screwed up. He mentioned it was hard to take off and there are some tool marks on it. I honestly don't mind that, but the brake lever is SUPER loose now and I think the caliper is bent. The ironic part is he criticized the workmanship of anyone/everyone who had previously worked on the bike pretty much the whole time I was in his shop. I don't care if he's "eccentric". I was willing to overlook his attitude and the fact that his shop literally smells like a litter box, but it's just not worth it.
