I came across SFSW, their work was just what I was looking for. Bonus they're about an hour away. The GPS brought us to a 110 year old adobe ranch style house, the last one in that part of Santa Fe. After winding around the interior we found the display area. Not only did I find handgrips but a myriad of knives, cutlery & forks and more in a small sales area. The craftsmen were plying their trade on the other side of an open wall. For those who want instant gratification they have a lot to choose from. I had a specific goal in mind. As difficult as it was I stayed away from the other temptations. I found a beautiful set of wooly mammoth tusk grips(10-15000yrs old). I had an idea of the 2nd pair - blue mammoth tooth, turquoise, meteorite, one made up of mineral deposits, or a combination. Well, until I went into a back room and was shown a mammoth tooth in red/pink. Red/pink it is. It'll be 4-6 weeks until they're ready. You can't rush good craftsmanship. Regardless of what you select, price is commensurate with the level of craftsmanship. Unique, exotic or unusual in knives, cutlery, jewelry or handgrips it's probably here.

I simply assumed they needed replacement, despite how new the bike was. It turned out, the brakes were not set right or well to begin with. They just needed a careful adjustment. From what I read online with general comments, I thought the price was going to be more than DOUBLE then what it was. Clemente explained in detail what the problem was and had the work done in a timely manner (very important as the bike is my only mode of transportation!). I am very appreciative of his work as well as his honesty. Will be going back when needed and highly recommend.

I'd recommend this class to any new climber who wants to learn to belay and climb.

ABSOLUTELY TOP-QUALITY MAINTENANCE…read more Early this year (2004) I bought a low-priced Trek Verve bicycle at a different (top-rated) bike shop in Santa Fe. They warned me that the tires were not the best, but I had three flats in just the few months I owned the bike. (I rode on somewhat older and bumpy pavement, never off road.) They ascribed the problem to a bad season for goat heads and sold me new tubes, with goop, for both tires. After one of the repaired tubes had my fourth flat, I asked friends for recommendations, and they referred me to Rob & Charlie's. Their expert Ray was a rank above, with a new diagnosis: The particular tires on my bike, he said, would let the tubes slip slightly on the rims, straining the valve stem and making micro holes in the tube near the stem, if not maintained above 60 PSI. While he was telling me this, he switched the tube with his bare hands in 5 minutes, and I was on my way. I got the bike home, eager to take a ride the next day, and checked with my hand pump that both tires were filled to 70 PSI. Yet when I went to ride the bike the next day, the front tire (the one Ray had fixed) had gone flat and leaked when I tried to pump it. So I called Ray, told him what had happened, and he told me to bring in the front wheel and tire (NOT the whole bike). He examined the new tube he had installed and found it defective. After examining another new tube of the same low-cost brand, and finding micro-leaks also near its stem, Ray upgraded me to a better-quality tube. Again, it took him less than five minutes. At my request, he also extracted the valve-grabbing part of my old Bontrager hand pump, cleaned it and fixed it before my eyes, again in less than five minutes. He charged me nothing for this second visit, the second, better new tube (with goop) or the pump fix, but apologized for my trouble. Ray is simply the best, most expert and quickest bike repair person I've ever encountered. In the future, I will take all my bike repairs to Ray, although I have great hopes that my "Bicycle from Hell," now with suitably pumped-up tires, will mend its ways.
