I came across Solstice on yelp and gave them a call. They were super responsive and were okay with me coming in right away. I was able to get my spoke repaired in about 15 minutes for $40. Very fair price. They were very responsive, respectful and gave me some tips about my bike. Highly recommended. Would definitely be back if I need any future repairs.

I hopped on the bike the moment I got home and took it for a mini test ride around my driveway and I could instantly feel the difference from before. It's a brand-new bike all around!!! Super thanks to you all!

As a SSF resident and an owner of several Specialized bikes, I was stoked to find they have opened…read morean authorized service and sales shop so close by. Recently, I've had 2 separate experiences within a week a week of each other. The first one, I was selling a bike on CL. A buyer living in Colorado asked if I could ship the bike and I was reluctant to do it. I suggested he call Specialized Bay Area to see if they can handle the packing and shipping of the bike, basically taking liability to get it shipped there. The transaction worked out perfectly where the buyer dealt directly with SBA on the shipping. Buyer Venmo'd me payment and received his bike in 3 days! Kudos to SBA for offering this service! The second experience. I was gonna go for a ride on the Levo this morning. Found a broken spoke. I texted the SBA and explained my problem, gave them a copy of my registration of the Roval wheels, and they said to drop it off any time. I stopped in @ 4pm on a Friday thinking to pick it up next week. One of the managers, Yoav replaced it on the spot, trued the wheel, lubed all the nipples, installed factory tubeless tape, all within 10 minutes! Best of all, the spoke repair was covered under warranty! Actually, the best of all was the staff were friendly and personable. :-) My bike was down for only a few hours! By far, the best experience I have had with a bike shop. I hope they stick around because I want I work here when I retire. Specialized for life!

The staff is extremely welcoming, a lot of bike shops lack in the customer service dept. being judgmental or above their customers in some weird clicky way that is notorious in the cycling world lol. You can get competition grade parts and service without worrying about any type of stigma . They are happy to answere questions and give advice and put your wants and needs above just making a sale. So if you need help in the cycling dept for just a quick repair or fitting for a whole new ride they will get you right and have you leave laughing and excited to roll out not feeling unsure if you actually got what you wanted but beyond your expectations and all at fair price especially with the economy... so support your local shop instead of using the internet .. don't risk getting your package stolen .. instead enjoy the experience of a friendly bike shop make new friends share ideas learn new things. We need more places like this to revive San Francisco's old community roots that we used to be famous for.

I walked in to find a gentleman responding to a 1 star review, and left wondering how someone had arrived at that conclusion. I normally don't leave reviews. But it bothered me so much to see that, so here I am. Reading that review now before I write this one, I don't see a trace of truth in what Nick noticed. Maybe Nick knows a competitor. Phillip felt genuine, knowledgeable, understated. He listened well, asked lots of questions to help diagnose the issue, and made me feel welcome. He also fixed my bike's creak on the spot. I've been to so many bike shops. Enough to know how common it is to deal with young kids (and sometimes even adults) who are still trying to figure out who they are. This is not one of those shops. Phillips not a bro. He's a great person, and an even better mechanic. I'm definitely coming back to Pink Puffin.
